I Live Near The Usual Democratic Stronghold Of Dayton,Ohio In Montgomery County, Ohio. In Fact A Democratic Presidential Candidate Hasnt Lost Here Since 1960...Well Someway Trump Managed To Win Montgomery County...Weird But Then Our Local News Reports This...
DAYTON, OH (WDTN) The polling location manager of a Dayton polling place was removed from the polling location Tuesday for not following official protocol, said Jan Kelley, Director of the Board of Elections.
Stephen Marcum was ordered to disconnect two electronic books. The disconnect rebooting process to make the machines go faster almost like a reset, Kelly said.
Marcum refused to follow that order, Kelly said. The Board of Elections called the Montgomery County Sheriffs Office to have Marcum removed from Thurgood Marshall.

2 NEWS was there when Marcum was removed by deputies.
Officials have had issues with Marcum in the past but would not elaborate further. say there should be no impact to voters.
When asked about the security of the votes, or confidence in the vote count, Kelly said the incident would have no direct impact on voters.
HOW F'N IRONIC?

(15,262 posts)Ohio punch card voting was a dream design for fraud. Maybe that is why the system was created.

(7,290 posts)But other than that, people do change their voting habits.
How exactly do you believe removing one troublemaking election official from one precinct would turn a whole county?

(29,557 posts)You can go ahead and believe whatever they tell you though.
SickOfTheOnePct
(7,290 posts)8 of them had turnouts of 80% or above, one at 86%. Of those 8 counties, 6 of them had 80% or above turnout in 2012.
High voter turnout should be something we strive for, not complain about.
rzemanfl
(29,557 posts)How many of them went from Obama to Trump? If you have that info.

(7,290 posts)I haven't looked at the actual voting data yet, but I'll try to find those links as well.
SickOfTheOnePct
(7,290 posts)I said 8 were 80% or above and 6 of those had been 80% or above in 2012.
It was actually 6 counties this year, and 4 in 2012.
Sorry about the bad data.
Here are the links:

Looking for the historical voting data from 2012 now.
SickOfTheOnePct
(7,290 posts)The 2012 data is archived - I downloaded it to a spreadsheet and did a quick turn on the numbers, so if you check and I'm off, it's not intentional. The 2016 data is from the 2016 link below - you just have to click on each county to go to their site and get the data.
Looks like one of the six (from my calculations for 2012) flipped from Obama in 2012 to Trump in 2016.

Baker 2012 2016
Turnout 81.8% 84%
Obama 20.33%
Romney 78.95%
Clinton 16.62%

FBaggins
(26,731 posts)That's untrue. Bush (the elder) won it in 1988, which almost certainly means that Reagan won it in both 80&84.
Additionally, both the 2000 and 2004 elections were both very close in the county (about a 2% gap).
Obama won the county by about 4.5% in 2012... and Clinton lost it by less than 3/4%. That's hardly unlikely given the shift in the rest of the state. In fact, it's smaller than the state overall.

(6,355 posts)I don't live in Dayton but I drive through there a lot. Over the past 10-15 years, it's started to feel like a ghost town. I don't have any data on the loss of businesses but the feel of the city is that every week there's a new office closed down and every month there's a new building emptied. As I said, I'm sure there are numbers but Dayton is a long way from the days of NCR and Mead Paper, to name just a couple former companies.
Montgomery County didn't flip (by 3100 votes) because of fraud. It flipped because James Carville's words have been drowned out in the Dem party - It's the Economy Stupid.
That's not to say this even wasn't weird and there may have been something fraudulent going on - but whatever it was, it wasn't material to the 440k vote loss.
