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. [More]When first learning about the initial reported tabulation discrepancy, I dismissed it from being the result of fraud. My response to a couple different people who sent me the link at that time was:
I'm a longtime PEO (Precinct Election Official) in Ohio and there are pretty good validation and audit procedures in place. This smells to me more of VLM (VotingLocation Manager) incompetence / laziness that got revealed once the Board of Elections took over. If corruption was involved, Republicans had to be a part of it -- we get partnered one-on-one with the other party at the voting locations and everybody has to sign off on safeguards and results . In re validating absentee ballots or provisionals, that takes place above my pay grade, but again, it's not like the process isn't bipartisan.This is a whole 'nother animal. If what this new report says is true, this is registration fraud that precedes the chunk I'm involved in, and it's on Jon Husted to make prevention and prosecution his top priorities.

Where was it, Ohio, that the keeper of voter registrations was sued for purging the rolls of voters who hadn't voted in the last 3-4 elections?
Unless we have a good way of linking the Social Security Death Index to the registration list, we will have dead registered voters.
Unless we have solid identification of those who vote, and those who cast absentee ballts, the dead will cast votes.
