GOP trashes exit polls & builds barricades as election day proceeds

Watch out for the stop sign when you go to vote today. Not the one on the street, the one in the pollbook next to your name.

The new voting requirements under Ohio's HB 3 may lead to unexpected upsets by the GOP in the ongoing election. The Republican Statehouse rushed through a bill earlier this year that is causing the "flagging" of up to 1.2 million Buckeye voters.

Free Press reporters have observed a "Stop Sign" icon next to the name of between 20-40% of the voters in inner city precincts in Columbus. The stop sign is outlined on page 50 of the Franklin County Board of Elections "Precinct Elections Training Manual." The stop sign is the result of a "60-day election notice" sent to voters, but being returned as "undeliverable." Voters with stop signs next to their names throughout the inner city are being allowed to vote provisionally at the poll. These votes are being electronically recorded as provisional, according to the Training Manual and many are likely to go uncounted because the voter is in the wrong precinct.

1. This is pure BS! Ohio is the victim of purging voter registrations just as

was done in Florida in 2000. Remember all those who were labeled as being felons when they were not?

2. Unexpected upsets, eh?

3. THAT WAS THE "OCTOBER SURPRISE"!

Over a million Democrats in Ohio struck from the voting rolls
could give the Republicans a "sweep" in Ohio and allow them to
hold on to the U.S. House and Senate.
