Okay so in the other thread, while I was busy watching Sarah Connor Chronicles, people were bitching out Ohio for not voting early.
You guys have to understand that Ohioans probably aren't voting early because they
don't trust the election system in Ohio after Bush stole the election in our state four years ago.
- Absentee ballots? Prolly are never counted.
- Early ballots? Prolly won't be counted either.
- On-site ballots on election day? Might be counted, as long as you didn't accidentally go to the wrong precinct, or get in the wrong precinct's line because there are several precincts voting in the same room, or there wasn't some odd typo on your ballot, or you looked at your polling monitor funny before stepping up to the ballot machine.
Our trust of the voting process here is tenuous at best, so why would we try using some new, controversial way that could throw away our vote? There are enough ways our vote could be invalidated already.
Honestly, those 3,000 early voters in the largest counties were retards.
So don't worry about Ohio turnout among Democrats or overall. People will show up the only way they know they have any chance of being counted -- in person, on election day.
