200 Voters challenged in Jefferson County Ohio

[Ksec]

Just heard it on WTOV our local news in Stuebenville. Of course they didnt say who the Party is thats doing this.

According to the report , any registered voter can challenge any other. When youre challenged you have to put your life on hold and go down to the Elections bureau and be sworn in , then you have to testify that you live at this address and show proof.

People have to miss work and go do this shlt. Unbelievable.

I would be willing to bet that these 200 people will not go through the trouble . I would guess out of the 200 , maybe 50 will go through the swearing in process.

1. This should be illlegal

but my understanding is that provisional ballots in Ohio allow you to vote anyways, no matter what. It's up to the elections people to verify later.

2. I agree but

alot of people are too busy and wont go through the trouble. Its just a way to disenfranchise voters, they know what theyre doing

3. hey Ksec

Jeff. Co? That's where I live! What was their reason for the challenge? What can be done? I wonder if the Dem party here can find anything out? I mean..is this just a matter of the people moved and didn't get their address changed or what?
