Why is someone in Northern VA sending me an Ohio Absentee Ballot Application

[maxrandb]

with a return address to the Ohio Secretary of State?

It also appears to be a thinly veiled political flyer, as it has in scary bold print that I should "Take Back the Pumps!" But damn, I love my knew pumps. Really make my calves pop.

The mailer features pictures of gas prices, and "urges" that I should support increased energy production.

When you open it, its an Ohio Absentee Ballot request that, apparently, I can complete and mail to the Ohio Secretary of State. At least that's the address on the application.

On the bright side, it does in small print say that the "problems we face are not Democratic or Republican".

Kudos for them not using "Democrat Party". That's a dead giveaway.

Anyway, I did contact the Democratic Party of my county and sent them a photo of what I got in the mail.

It seems kind of skeevie, but not sure if it's illegal.

1. Well...say you didn't notice it was Ohio and you filled it out and sent it in as (many may do)...

could that constitute voter fraud?....or the basis for someone (QOP) to say election was rigged/fraudulent?

2. Can you take a picture of the envelope or flyer and post it? Thanks.

A lot of time things are postmarked from nowhere near you.

3. it might be if you return it and it goes to the ohio sos

Requesting a ballot for a state you are not a resident of is a crime.

Maybe they are just sending them to dems? Put the name of a maga living near you and send it back.

5. So, I am an Ohio resident and vote there

But I summer in VA and have my mail sent here when I am down here.

4. That sure doesn't sound legal to me.

I would be interested in what your local Dem party has to say. Like you said, it seems like a thinly veiled political ad and we can all guess from which side.
