Shannon Breame tweeted it so it's gonna be on her show tonight ...

According to expert Eric Eggers, research director at the Government Accountability Institute, 170 registered voters in Ohio’s 12th Congressional District are listed as being “over 116 years old.”

Considering that the world’s oldest living person is a 115-year-old resident of Japan, this is a big problem.

“That’s 10 percent of Balderson’s current margin of victory, pending provisional ballots,” Eggers wrote. “And 72 voters over the age of 116 who ‘live’ in Balderson’s district cast ballots in the 2016 election.”

In fact, many of the voters on Ohio’s rolls list their birthdays as Jan. 1, 1800, making them 218 years old. Clearly something is amiss.

For four years now, Democrats in Ohio have been fighting efforts to prevent voter fraud, and it is easy to see why.

In June, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in favor of Ohio’s system for purging ineligible voters from the rolls, dealing a tough blow to Ohio Democrats.

Since Ohio is run by the GOP this could be the GOP being naughty, not necessarily the Dems.

This is how I vote:

I walk up to the table of my precinct with two old ladies that are volunteers.

I tell them my name.

They have a print out of registered voters and they turn to the page where my name and address is listed.

They then ask for my ID.

The first lady looks at it and makes sure my name and address match the voter roll. She then calls on the old lady next to her to look at the roll and my ID for double verification.

Once they agree that my ID and my voter roll info is copacetic, I then sign next to my name on the voter roll.

I am then allowed into the booth.

To vote, I have to be registered, have two people agree that my ID matches my roll entry and then provide my signature.

1. I have always favored regular maintenance of the voter roles. These “ancient voters” should have been purged a while ago.

2. Did any of these ancient voters actually vote in this election? I cannot find that info.

You know that's not true.

Ohio may have a republican elected government but you and I know that the vast majority of the state and local government bureaucrats, including those who run the elections, are democrats. And certainly not cream of the crop democrats either.


ETA: Not that it matters. It needs to stop immediately.

So, for the record, you have no problem with voter fraud.

There's a good chance this is not evidence of voter fraud and is instead evidence of a fricky voter registration system. If you have humans manually entering data fields from a handwritten paper application, you're going to get keystroke errors.

It's possible these people are alive and did nothing wrong.

The real story that obviously gets very little coverage is the sad state of journalism.

Same.

The two old ladies who work my local precinct have known me since I was in diapers, still have to state to them my name and show ID. They’re hardcore

Quit talking out your arse. Since 1992 Ohio has voted blue 4 out of 7 Presidential Elections.....you are a dumbshit who can only regurgitate talking points.

That, and they probably wouldn't find your ballot in a trunk a day later
