DAYTON . If you think you applied for a Democratic
absentee ballot for the March 4 primary using the
Montgomery County Board of Elections online application,
look again.

An apparent computer glitch causes the box marked
"Democrat" to go blank on the application that needs to
be printed out and signed to receive an absentee ballot.
Applications for Republican ballots are unaffected.

Persons who list no party affiliation can only vote on
issues, not candidates, in the March 4 primary.

Board of Elections Director Steve Harsman said his data
processing staff will fix it.

"I thought it was odd and tried it a number of different
ways," said Carter. "It was working properly except for
Democrats."

1. A targeting practice run for the general election later on.

2. Isn't it funny how computer glitches (think vote flipping) appear to only effect Dems adversely?

3. BTW Montgomery Co is a Dem stronghold-(Dayton OH is located there)

4. Notice the timing

The news comes out too late for most people to make an adjustment or re-apply.
