Ohio rejects 1000s of voter registration applications due to paper weight. An attempt to limit the number of new (likely Democrat) voter in this swing state. It’s ridiculous, the State itself sent out lightweight forms. “The ostensible reason for this order is to insure that the applications can make it through the postal system without being damaged. The Secretary didn’t point to any examples of voters who were stupid enough to mail regular weight paper as a postcard, nor did he cite examples of complaints from the Postal Service that this has been a problem. Never mind also that the applications he wants thrown out have already been delivered to the election boards safely.” Via Mefi, Reported in the Daily Kos
