Voting results in Ohio were highly questioned in the 2004 election for president. In yesterday's election there was a shortage of ballots in Cleveland (see Ballot shortages plague Ohio primary amid unusually heavy voter turnout.)

The number of requests for absentee ballots more than tripled those requested in the May 2007 primary, to roughly 187,000, according to election officials.

The question that nobody has addressed is: Why is there yet again a problem of voting in Ohio? The locations of the ballot shortages (21 precincts in Cleveland, other precincts in Cuyahoga County, all precincts in Franklin County, and Clermont and Summit Counties) all areas where Obama was expected to do well; raise serious questions about whether or not Ohio voting was rigged for Hillary.

I have to wonder if this was planned by the Democratic Governor and Secretary of State of Ohio. The excuse that turnout was high is BS. In these areas where democrats traditionally win votes and have had problems in the past, I expected there to be absolutely no problems with voting.

How many voters were turned away? How many voters did not vote? Why were there problems?
