Unusual Number Of Provisional Ballots Cast In 2 Ohio Counties
An unusually large number of provisional ballots was being cast in two predominantly Democratic counties in Ohio. Donita Judge, the lead attorney for the Advancement Project, a civil rights group in the state, told HuffPost that both Hamilton and Franklin counties seemed to show an uptick in provisional ballots.
Judge said registered voters were showing where they had voted in the past and were told they are not on the voter rolls. "I'm certainly worried about the number of provisional ballots and whether they are being legitimately cast," Judge said.
Judge added that others have been given misinformation about what is a legitimate ID. Ohio requires ID -- but not a picture ID, she said.
The provisional ballots won't be counted for 10 days.
