The were never rechecked, Ken. That's the standard check. When 200k registrations came up with mismatched data, there was no re-check. SoS claimed that there wasn't enough time to recheck all those questioned registrations, and that doing so would take the system down.
Thus, we don't know how many fraudulent votes there were because the registrations were never verified.
Any idea if those registrations were flagged as provisional until they could be verified? I know that I had a problem once where something got screwed up because I was changing addresses and I went to vote. My ballot was flagged as provisional pending verification.
Just a question, not a trap or argument.
The inconsistencies were with DL#'s and SSN's not matching Federal and State databases. Since many of the suspect registrants had already filled out absentee ballots, SoS Brunner decided not to recheck the suspect registrations due to lack of time (it was just a couple weeks prior to the election).
I'm going to go with a "probably not."
According to the Wiki, you could register with a cell phone bill and last 4 digits of your SSN, and then vote absentee. The phone bill registration is not something I recall from 6 years ago, so I have no idea if that's true or not. Plus, the citation for the sentence on the Wiki is no longer a live link, making it that much murkier.
A bit o' digging (altered formatting for easier reading and to highlight pertinent portions):
Ohio Voter Registration and Information Update Formquote:
Eligibility
You are qualified to register to vote in Ohio if you meet all the following requirements:1. You are a citizen of the United States.
2. You will be at least 18 years old on or before the day of the general election.
3. You will be a resident of Ohio for at least 30 days immediately before the election in which you want to vote.
4. You are not incarcerated (in jail or in prison) for a felony conviction.
5. You have not been declared incompetent for voting purposes by a probate court.
6. You have not been permanently disenfranchised for violations of election laws.
Use this form to register to vote or to update your current Ohio registration if you have changed your address or name.
NOTICE: This form must be received or postmarked by the 30th day before an election at which you intend to vote. You will be notified by your county board of elections of the location where you vote. If you do not receive a notice following timely submission of this form, please contact your county board of elections.
Numbers 1 and 2 below are required by law. You must answer both of the questions for your registration to be processed.
Registering in Person
If you have a current valid Ohio driver’s license, you must provide that number on line 10. If you do not have an Ohio driver’s license, you must provide the last four digits of your Social Security number on line 10. If you have neither, please write “None.”
Registering by Mail
If you register by mail and do not provide either an Ohio driver’s license number or the last four digits of your Social Security number, you must enclose with your application a copy of one of the following forms of identification:Current and valid photo identification, a military identification, or a current (within the last 12 months) utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, government check or government document (other than a notice of voter registration mailed by a board of elections) that shows your name and current address.
Residency Requirements
Your voting residence is the location that you consider to be a permanent, not a temporary, residence. Your voting residence is the place in which your habitation is fixed and to which, whenever you are absent, you intend to return. If you do not have a fixed place of habitation, but you are a consistent or regular inhabitant of a shelter or other location to which you intend to return, you may use that shelter or other location as your residence for purposes of registering to vote. If you have questions about your specific residency circumstances, you may contact your local board of elections for further information.
Your Signature
In the area below the arrow in Box 14, please write your cursive, hand-written signature or make your legal mark, taking care that it does not touch the surrounding lines so when it is digitally imaged by your county board of elections it can effectively be used to identify your signature.
Please see information on back of this form to learn how to obtain an absentee ballot.
WHOEVER COMMITS ELECTION FALSIFICATION IS GUILTY OF A FELONY OF THE FIFTH DEGREE.
Apparently, a "current" (w/i the last 12 months) utility bill is enough to register to vote. The last 4 digits of the SSN aren't even necessary when registering by mail. Sheesh.
Makes me wonder if we've had an honest election in the past couple decades.
