More Ohio
 

A quick rundown of problems in Ohio.

If someone drops by to "pick up" your absentee ballot for you, don't give it to them!

And a corrupt elections registrar in Maine. http://www.cellar.org/images/smilies/frown.gif

I expect what we have here is not some new rash of problems, but increased attention to things that were there all along. Which is a good thing.

This isn't specific on tactics, or specifically about the presidential race, but it's indicative of attitude:

Mostly things that have existed for some time and should have been resolved before the primaries but weren't. That's a bad thing. :(

A possible challenge list in Florida: We'll see if they do use it that way.

As an aside, it looks like the annoying Republican habit of using "Democrat" as an adjective has spread across the pond. :(

At least in Ohio, they're challenging them a week early:

Ah, the Onion. Too often proven prescient.

Anyway, back to Florida.

Quote:

Local 10 has learned that many as many as 58,000 ballots that were supposed to mailed out on Oct. 7 and 8 could be missing.The Broward County Supervisor of Elections office is saying only that the situation is "unusual," and they are looking into it.

If it was deliberate, I hope they give whoever did it 1 year on each count of election fraud and mail fraud, for each of the 58,000 pieces of mail.

A follow-up:

...Does that mean that just under 8780 of those registrations should not remain on the rolls? :confused:

No, it just means that those challenges can't be summarily ruled spurious according to this particular rule. But 8780 challenges will waste far less time than 17780, so we're moving in the right direction.

OK, these are dirty tactics, and they're election-related, but they're not actually dirty tactics to win the election.
