Ohio Elections Chief: Web Site Breached How is the AG special election going there?


Quote
Ohio's elections chief says the state's web site is running on limited capacity after several security breaches.

Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner says in a statement today that the site has been partially disabled to protect state records and data. A spokesman says he is unaware of any personal records being accessed and does not know for how long the site will be disabled.

Jennifer Brunner is an incompetant, partisan political hack.  She and Marc Dann have certainly proven to be some fine choices the Dems made for us last year.

Vote Crites.  That would be her worst fear.

Here's an example of how the problems with the SoS website could be more than we imagine:

My girlfriend got some sort of registration notice in the mail from the Board of Election. However, it wasn't addressed to someone she doesn't know, and has never lived there.

To SoS voter site used to have a lookup function... if you know the last name and the address, you can see what elections the given person voted in. Her thinking was that if this new random person had voted from that address before, it would probably be a previous tenant.

But since she couldn't look the person up (because of the website lockdown), she had no way of knowing if some random Acorn person was using her address to perpetrate voter fraud.


ALSO

She's aware of at least one address in Hilltop where 17 adults "reside" in a tiny house for purposes of voting. They've told their neighbors that they're moving out after the election.


Strange?

Is it possible that someone that moved out of Ohio could vote absentee in his/her new state and drive to Ohio with his old registration to vote there?   This is kind of hypothetical you know.  Wink
