Inflation of Absentee Vote in Trumbull County

1. it certainly is! n/t

2. also, I think it is highly unlikelyt that every single

absentee voter actually cast their vote because first of all, there are tons of reports of people never receiving their ballots, and secondly, despite the energy behind this election I don't think that everyone is perfect about completing paperwork. My point being that in those counties and precincts with 10 extra absentee votes to voters listed as absentee in the poll books, we can assume some of those numbers of illegal absentee votes might be even higher.

3. Absentees Who Ultimately Do Not Vote

Non-voting absentees should also be considered as part of this analysis. It would be interesting to know what percentage, in general, of that county's voters requesting absentee ballots then actually follow through with sending in their ballots. I am sure it is not 100%. Also, many absentee ballots CAST by the voter are not counted for one reason or the other (e.g., not postmarked properly, unmatching signature, etc...)

If there is a discrepancy here, it is going to be larger than just the difference between (1) a county's absentee ballots requested and (2) that county's absentee ballots cast and counted as legitimate votes.

11. You have to read it!

There was an inflated difference in nearly every precinct of the five communities examined. The five communities whose poll books were carefully inspected for an absentee vote overcount are: Warren City (313), Howland Township (137), Newton Falls City (34), Girard City (57), and Cortland Township (40).

The 106 precincts of these five Ohio communities, about 39% of all precincts in Trumbull County, netted a total of 581 absentee votes for which there were no absentee voters identified in the poll books.

“ When there are more votes than voters, there is a big problem” stated Dr. Werner Lange, author of this study which would have been completed weeks earlier if Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell, co-chair of the Ohio Bush-Cheney campaign, had not unlawfully ordered all 88 boards of elections to prevent public inspection of poll books until after certification of the vote.

The absentee vote inflation rate for these five communities averages 5.5 fradulent voters per precinct. If this pattern of inflated absentee votes holds for all of Ohio’s 11,366 precincts, then there were some 62,513 absentee votes in Ohio up for grabs in the last election. Who grabbed them and how they did so should be the subject of an immediate congressional investigation.
