Husted blames postal service for absentee ballot problem | 13ABC Author : the-voting-news Hundreds of voters in northwest Ohio say they have not received their absentee ballots in the mail. The problem starts seems to start at the mail sorting center in Pontiac, Michigan. The ballots were sent from Lucas, Wood and five other counties October 12. But twenty days later, many still have not been delivered. Tuesday, Ohio Secretary of State, Jon Husted, visited the board of elections office in Wood County. He says voting has gone smoothly in Ohio except for this absentee ballot problem. Husted puts the blame squarely on the postal system, saying, “It’s completely unacceptable. The post office needs to do a better job.” Husted has been in touch with the post office but, so far, no explanation for what happened. Now, local elections officials are scrambling to make sure absentee voters get a ballot. In Lucas County, BOE director, Gina Kaczala says her office is re-issuing absentee ballots to voters who contact the BOE and request one. And ballots seem to be arriving as they should. Kaczala says, “What we’re finding now is ballots seem to be getting to voters in that 3-5 day range.” Full Article: Husted blames postal service for absentee ballot problem.
