More bogus addresses found for Ohio voters

Cincinnati Enquirer:

In Hamilton County, 17 people are registered to vote from riverfront addresses south of Mehring Way - places with street numbers that would put their homes somewhere in the Ohio River.

Another 46 voters are registered at addresses that would put their homes in the middle of the Paul Brown Stadium parking lot, or at the riverfront project known as The Banks - which hasn't been built.

An Enquirer analysis of more than 8 million Ohio voter registration records found a litany of quirks, inconsistencies, errors, duplicate registrations and other problems with little more than two weeks until Election Day.

Thousands of voters appear on registration lists twice - some as many as six times. At least 589 registered voters - mostly in Franklin and Cuyahoga counties - were born in 1991 or later, which puts them under the legal voting age.

Voters are registered at post office boxes, office buildings with no residences, police stations and even park benches.

Some may be fraudulent, election officials say; many have more innocent explanations.

Either way, discrepancies in voter registration data present a major challenge to Ohio election officials, inevitably resulting in confusion over voter eligibility and disputes at polling places. The issue already has resulted in partisan challenges and a lawsuit that went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court - issues that could intensify as Election Day approaches.

...

There is much more.

I find it hard to believe there can be an innocent explanation for giving an address in a sports stadium or a river, especially numerous times. When you add the mischief of groups like ACORN to the mix, the likelihood of innocent explanations become remote.
