WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Each team, the Eagles in the Bengals had five possessions

2
00:00:03.759 --> 00:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>each in the second half. The Bengals scored on one

3
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:10.039
<v Speaker 1>of the five and the Eagles scored on five out

4
00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:13.320
<v Speaker 1>of the five, and it was unstoppable. So if they

5
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:15.839
<v Speaker 1>played another quarter, they would have scored seven out of seven.

6
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:17.839
<v Speaker 1>And the Bengals, it looks at me like they lost

7
00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:20.000
<v Speaker 1>their guts, they lost their brains, they lost their heart,

8
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:22.640
<v Speaker 1>they lost their gonads, they lost everything on the field

9
00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:23.079
<v Speaker 1>of honor.

10
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:24.280
<v Speaker 2>But we'll see what happens.

11
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>The Raiders are in town, the Las Vegas Raiders, Moe

12
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:29.480
<v Speaker 1>and others, and Lance will break it down later on today.

13
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>But nonetheless, as you may know, there's an election a

14
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:37.479
<v Speaker 1>week from Tuesday, and Sherry Poland runs the Hamilton County

15
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:40.679
<v Speaker 1>Board of Elections with an iron grip. She is also

16
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>a national expert when it comes to these matters. When

17
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I speak to those of the Democrat Party, if I

18
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.079
<v Speaker 1>speak to Tim Burke, or if I speak to Alixe

19
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:50.719
<v Speaker 1>Trountafilu at the Republican Party, I get the same answer.

20
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>That is, she's nonpartisan. She's built a system that is

21
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.000
<v Speaker 1>the envy of the rest of the world. In Hamlet County,

22
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:58.479
<v Speaker 1>And we have the honor this afternoon of being with Sherry,

23
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:01.799
<v Speaker 1>Poland and Sherry. Welcome again to the Bill, cunninghams and Sherry.

24
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:04.879
<v Speaker 1>First of all, I deal with facts. So many people

25
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:07.599
<v Speaker 1>deal with opinion. I only deal with facts. As we

26
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.680
<v Speaker 1>sit here this Monday afternoon, how many people have voted?

27
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:14.239
<v Speaker 1>Break it down by in person and by mail? What

28
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>percent of out of the total on each come election day?

29
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>How many people in your opinion will vote? Is there

30
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:22.760
<v Speaker 1>a breakdown Republican and Democrat? What's going to happen with

31
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:25.439
<v Speaker 1>the races? Are their difficulties? Will you have results by

32
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:28.519
<v Speaker 1>mid nine on election night? There's a question in there somewhere.

33
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:29.400
<v Speaker 1>Can you answer it?

34
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:33.159
<v Speaker 3>Hi, Bill, thank you for having me on. Yes, I

35
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.840
<v Speaker 3>can answer your questions. We'll start off with the fact

36
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:39.959
<v Speaker 3>that over one hundred and eight thousand voters in Hamilton

37
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.719
<v Speaker 3>County have already cast their ballot in this presidential election.

38
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:49.359
<v Speaker 3>Approximately fifty seven thousand of those voters voted early in

39
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:53.319
<v Speaker 3>person at the Board of Elections on around fifty one

40
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:56.799
<v Speaker 3>thousand have already returned their vote by mail ballot.

41
00:01:57.319 --> 00:01:58.959
<v Speaker 2>Do you open up? Let me ask you a question.

42
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.359
<v Speaker 1>The People's judge and I about two weeks ago, sell

43
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>on our kitchen table and each of us so we

44
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:06.680
<v Speaker 1>took about a half an hour and we voted. Now,

45
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.439
<v Speaker 1>when those votes come in and I assume our two

46
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:12.479
<v Speaker 1>ballots will have been counted at some point, explain to

47
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.360
<v Speaker 1>me the process. If Tony Benner, who lives in Green Township,

48
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:18.960
<v Speaker 1>sends in an absentee ballot, it goes in the mailbox.

49
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>In fact, every mailbox in Hamlelton County is a drop box.

50
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.840
<v Speaker 1>You can drop your ballot in the mailbox and it

51
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>comes into the Board of Elections. Walk through with me

52
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.080
<v Speaker 1>what happens to that mail in ballot from the time

53
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.599
<v Speaker 1>and arrives in your office to election night.

54
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:35.520
<v Speaker 2>What happens step by step?

55
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:36.280
<v Speaker 3>Sure?

56
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:37.319
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely well.

57
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.439
<v Speaker 3>First off, if a voter wishes to vote by mail,

58
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:43.159
<v Speaker 3>we do not automatically mail ballots in the.

59
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.240
<v Speaker 4>State of Ohio, So a voter has to request a.

60
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.800
<v Speaker 3>Vote by mail ballot by filling out a form submitting

61
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:52.439
<v Speaker 3>it to the Board of Elections. That form must contain

62
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 3>the voter's name, addressed data, birth form of ID, and

63
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.360
<v Speaker 3>their signature, and it must match what's on file at

64
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.919
<v Speaker 3>the Board of Election according to their voter registration. Then

65
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:06.000
<v Speaker 3>we will send the voter a ballot. After the voter

66
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:08.719
<v Speaker 3>votes the ballot, as you know because you've done this,

67
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:13.000
<v Speaker 3>the ballot goes inside an identification envelope. Again, the voter

68
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.840
<v Speaker 3>must confirm their name, their address, a form of ID,

69
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:18.159
<v Speaker 3>and a signature, and the ballot.

70
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 4>Has to be sealed inside that envelope.

71
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.960
<v Speaker 3>If a vote by mail voter wishes to return it

72
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.680
<v Speaker 3>by mail for this election, it's a two sheet ballot,

73
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:30.400
<v Speaker 3>so it's a dollar and one cent or two forever stamps.

74
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.680
<v Speaker 3>Or the voter can deliver their own ballot to the

75
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:37.560
<v Speaker 3>Board of Elections using our twenty four hour drop box.

76
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.639
<v Speaker 3>If a voter is returning a ballot for a family member,

77
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:42.039
<v Speaker 3>they can do that to something a.

78
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:44.360
<v Speaker 4>Little different this year. They do have to fill out

79
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 4>a form basically just.

80
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:50.319
<v Speaker 3>A testing that they have permission to deliver the ballot

81
00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.199
<v Speaker 3>for a family member. So then when the ballot, when

82
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.159
<v Speaker 3>that vote by mail ballot is returned and receives here

83
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:59.800
<v Speaker 3>at the Board of Elections, our buary partisan teams will

84
00:04:00.039 --> 00:04:04.039
<v Speaker 3>examining the identification envelope and compare that information to the

85
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:05.680
<v Speaker 3>voter registration system.

86
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 4>Once again, if it's a.

87
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:10.879
<v Speaker 3>Match, we remove the ballot and we scan the ballots.

88
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:14.919
<v Speaker 3>We do not count the ballot until the polls close

89
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.839
<v Speaker 3>on election night. So right now we're conducting what we

90
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:22.279
<v Speaker 3>call acts of preparation. We're confirming the voter's identity and

91
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:24.879
<v Speaker 3>that they were eligible to cast this vote by mail ballot.

92
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:28.279
<v Speaker 3>We're scanning the ballot. We're storing it inside of a

93
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:32.639
<v Speaker 3>dual walcked room. Wherever we have ballots, they are in

94
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.040
<v Speaker 3>a dual locked room. It takes one Republican and one

95
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.519
<v Speaker 3>Democrat to get into that room. And then after the

96
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.920
<v Speaker 3>polls close on election night, those vote by mail ballots

97
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:44.480
<v Speaker 3>and the early in person ballots are the very first

98
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.839
<v Speaker 3>ballots that are counted again after the polls closed.

99
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:51.319
<v Speaker 2>Please go ahead, Please go ahead.

100
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:55.319
<v Speaker 3>We usually can get those absentiers as posted right around

101
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:56.439
<v Speaker 3>eight pm election night.

102
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 1>So let's say Tony Bender and Green Township has voted

103
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.480
<v Speaker 1>a mail in ballot to filled out all the forms correctly.

104
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:06.680
<v Speaker 1>There's one envelope inside the other envelope, and then it

105
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:08.720
<v Speaker 1>is sent in and you open it up. You have

106
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Democrats Republicans looking ready to go. But Tony Bender says,

107
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.600
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I've changed my mind. I don't want

108
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:17.920
<v Speaker 1>to vote the way I voted for Trump or voted

109
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:22.279
<v Speaker 1>for the Democrat. You know, I want to change my

110
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:25.040
<v Speaker 1>vote for the Supreme Court. I want to change. What

111
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:27.399
<v Speaker 1>If Tony Bender says I changed my mind and I

112
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:29.319
<v Speaker 1>want to vote differently, what happens then?

113
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Once he's cast his ballot, he's done. He cannot

114
00:05:34.519 --> 00:05:37.800
<v Speaker 3>change his mind and cast a second ballot. As soon

115
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:41.800
<v Speaker 3>as a voter returns that application to request a ballot

116
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.680
<v Speaker 3>by mail, the record is flagged, and if they then

117
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:47.279
<v Speaker 3>go to their polling place on election day, they'll be

118
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.680
<v Speaker 3>required to cast what we call provisional ballot, same ballot

119
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:53.360
<v Speaker 3>everyone else receives. The only difference is that it's not

120
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:57.839
<v Speaker 3>counted election night. It's placed in a provisional envelope until

121
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:02.319
<v Speaker 3>teams a bipartisan election officials can verify that the voter

122
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:04.800
<v Speaker 3>did not already cast a ballot in the election. It's

123
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:08.360
<v Speaker 3>how we ensure one voter, one.

124
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:12.120
<v Speaker 1>Vote, so there's no second chance. If Tony says, man,

125
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:14.920
<v Speaker 1>I really like what Harris is saying. I love that lady,

126
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.439
<v Speaker 1>and I voted for Trump and I want to change

127
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:18.680
<v Speaker 1>it too bad.

128
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:20.399
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

129
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:23.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Once it's been cast either by mail or dropped

130
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:25.759
<v Speaker 3>off at the board, same way, when you go to

131
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.600
<v Speaker 3>your polling place. Yeah, once it's cast, you can't change

132
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.879
<v Speaker 3>your mind. In fact, once it's removed from the envelope,

133
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.959
<v Speaker 3>there's no way for US Board of Election officials to

134
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:37.319
<v Speaker 3>tie that ballot back to the voter. That's how we

135
00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:40.800
<v Speaker 3>keep the secrecy of the vote. We have no way

136
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:42.439
<v Speaker 3>of tying it back to a voter.

137
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.759
<v Speaker 1>It's a dollar and a penny to mail it. Tony's poor.

138
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.920
<v Speaker 1>He puts one little stamp on, doesn't put the extra

139
00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:52.680
<v Speaker 1>stamp on, or if forgets the stamp it at all,

140
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.600
<v Speaker 1>what happens? If the ballot doesn't have enough postage or

141
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:56.680
<v Speaker 1>no postage, what happens?

142
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:01.199
<v Speaker 3>Then the the post office does everything they can to

143
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.720
<v Speaker 3>get ballots delivered to the Board of Elections.

144
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:05.920
<v Speaker 4>But our recommendation is, don't take any risks.

145
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:08.839
<v Speaker 3>Make sure you have the appropriate post edge. And for

146
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:12.279
<v Speaker 3>this election in Hamilton County that would be two forever

147
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:16.079
<v Speaker 3>stamps postage. And I do want to note it differs

148
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:19.399
<v Speaker 3>from county to county. It depends on the number of

149
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.639
<v Speaker 3>sheets and the weight of the ballot paper.

150
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.639
<v Speaker 1>Now, how many registered voters are there in Hamilton County,

151
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure, but I think the numbers about five

152
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:29.759
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand on my run? How many people are I

153
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:31.120
<v Speaker 1>actually registered to vote?

154
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.319
<v Speaker 3>We actually have a little over six hundred and four

155
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:39.040
<v Speaker 3>one hundred thousand yees, yeah, so a little higher than

156
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:43.639
<v Speaker 3>what you have predicted. We usually hover somewhere around six hundred,

157
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:46.879
<v Speaker 3>a little under six hundred, and it's typical for us

158
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.240
<v Speaker 3>to be a little over that market presidential election.

159
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:52.240
<v Speaker 1>So in the twenty twenty presidential what percent of Hamley

160
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.079
<v Speaker 1>County residents actually voted? Of the six hundred and four

161
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:58.199
<v Speaker 1>thousand approximately in twenty twenty, how many actually voted?

162
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.079
<v Speaker 3>We have four hundred thirty I'm sorry, four hundred and

163
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:06.680
<v Speaker 3>thirty four thousand, nine hundred and fifty six ballots cast.

164
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:10.800
<v Speaker 3>That was seventy two percent of the registered voters at

165
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:11.199
<v Speaker 3>that time.

166
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:13.639
<v Speaker 2>Is that it's not high or low seventy two percent

167
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:15.040
<v Speaker 2>of the presidential.

168
00:08:15.199 --> 00:08:17.680
<v Speaker 3>You know, Hamilton County usually has a pretty good turnout

169
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:21.360
<v Speaker 3>for presidentials. We usually have somewhere between seventy and seventy

170
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:24.519
<v Speaker 3>four percent, and that's what we're expecting this election as.

171
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, about seventy seventy to seventy percent. Now, let's say

172
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:30.759
<v Speaker 1>that here we are on Monday afternoon, about one hundred

173
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:34.080
<v Speaker 1>and eight thousand have already voted. Is an equal number

174
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:37.720
<v Speaker 1>going to vote between now and next Monday early Do

175
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:40.200
<v Speaker 1>you anticipate that number will be over two hundred thousand.

176
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:43.600
<v Speaker 4>I think we're going to.

177
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:45.919
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if we'll be over two hundred thousand,

178
00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.720
<v Speaker 3>we will will be close. I think we'll definitely be

179
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:53.159
<v Speaker 3>over one hundred and fifty thousand. Our early in person

180
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:58.320
<v Speaker 3>is just becoming so popular in Hamilton County, and right

181
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:02.320
<v Speaker 3>now we're on track to beat our record that we

182
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:05.480
<v Speaker 3>set in twenty twenty. So in twenty twenty there are over.

183
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.360
<v Speaker 4>Eighty thousand voters who cast their ballots early in person

184
00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:09.120
<v Speaker 4>here at the board.

185
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:14.480
<v Speaker 3>We're already beating that pace with still until Sunday next

186
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:17.039
<v Speaker 3>Sunday to go, So we think we could hit almost

187
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:19.840
<v Speaker 3>one hundred thousand voters just at our early vote center

188
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:20.320
<v Speaker 3>this year.

189
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:22.480
<v Speaker 1>So if some person wants to go to the nordwod

190
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Hamony County Board of Elections and they show up later

191
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:28.639
<v Speaker 1>this afternoon or Tuesday or Wednesday, what is the process?

192
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:30.759
<v Speaker 1>I did it one time just for fun, and I

193
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.480
<v Speaker 1>found it very easy. It was friendly, happy. But let's

194
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:37.000
<v Speaker 1>say Tony Bender is on a long bender. He's lost

195
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:39.120
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend, he watched the Bengals play. He was

196
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:41.679
<v Speaker 1>in person. He wided out. He left in the middle

197
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:43.559
<v Speaker 1>of the fourth quarter. It couldn't take it any more,

198
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:46.639
<v Speaker 1>dragging his Bengal stripes behind him. He said, too much

199
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:49.080
<v Speaker 1>to drink. Wakes up this morning, or probably wakes up

200
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:51.879
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday Wednesday and saying, no, I'm going to go vote.

201
00:09:52.039 --> 00:09:54.279
<v Speaker 1>Let's say he drags himself to the Board of Elections.

202
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:57.919
<v Speaker 3>What happens, Yeah, it's very similar to voting that you're

203
00:09:57.960 --> 00:10:00.879
<v Speaker 3>calling place on election day. We will note that our

204
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:04.759
<v Speaker 3>vehicle traffic getting into the Board of Elections is heavy

205
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:07.600
<v Speaker 3>at times. But once you know, we get you and

206
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:10.399
<v Speaker 3>you find a place the park, it's a very quick

207
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:13.960
<v Speaker 3>process to get inside and vote. Again, very similar to

208
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:16.919
<v Speaker 3>election day. The voter needs to announce their name and

209
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:20.440
<v Speaker 3>address to the poll worker and then provide the poll

210
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:23.240
<v Speaker 3>worker an acceptable form of ID. I do want to

211
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:25.799
<v Speaker 3>note that that's a recent change in Ohio.

212
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.759
<v Speaker 1>He's got no idea, he's got nothing. He's dragging himself

213
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:31.200
<v Speaker 1>in there. He said, I'll give you a year, n example,

214
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.360
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you a blood test. I got no idea

215
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:35.799
<v Speaker 1>at all. What happens that Tony Bender.

216
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:39.159
<v Speaker 3>Well, those things are not necessary. All Tony would have

217
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.879
<v Speaker 3>to do is fill out a provisional envelope. I talked

218
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:46.080
<v Speaker 3>a little bit before about a provisional bout. That's a

219
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:49.720
<v Speaker 3>ballot that's not counted election night. It's placed in an

220
00:10:49.799 --> 00:10:53.360
<v Speaker 3>envelope where the voter provides the identifying information as far

221
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:57.159
<v Speaker 3>as their name. If they does not have a form

222
00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:01.360
<v Speaker 3>of ID, that voter actually has until four days after

223
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.519
<v Speaker 3>election day to provide ID to the Board of Elections.

224
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:07.679
<v Speaker 3>So when he goes into vote he doesn't have ID,

225
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.120
<v Speaker 3>he's offered the provisional ballot, it's voted, it's placed in

226
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:14.480
<v Speaker 3>the envelope, it's held into election day. If that voter

227
00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:17.879
<v Speaker 3>comes to the Board of Elections by the Saturday after

228
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:22.240
<v Speaker 3>election day, which is November ninth, by five pm, and

229
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:25.480
<v Speaker 3>provides an acceptable form of ID, then his provisional ballot

230
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:28.360
<v Speaker 3>is added to the official count, which occurs about two

231
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:29.799
<v Speaker 3>to three weeks after election day.

232
00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:32.399
<v Speaker 1>So even that and that's what happens down the road

233
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:36.679
<v Speaker 1>before everything is certified. So let's say November fifth runs

234
00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:40.639
<v Speaker 1>through without a major problem, and by election night or

235
00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:43.519
<v Speaker 1>early in the morning, you have the provisional final count.

236
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:46.000
<v Speaker 1>One are things finally we got all these thousands of

237
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:49.639
<v Speaker 1>provisional ballots. We have other contests to one type or another.

238
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:52.840
<v Speaker 1>When is there a final decision in Hamilton County? This

239
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.600
<v Speaker 1>is the final number. How many weeks does that take?

240
00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:58.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it takes a few weeks.

241
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.600
<v Speaker 3>In fact, the Secretary State put all boards of elections

242
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:04.600
<v Speaker 3>in Ohio on an expedited schedule, meaning we are all

243
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:08.360
<v Speaker 3>required to certify by November twentieth. So that's the date

244
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:10.120
<v Speaker 3>that Hamilton County.

245
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:12.679
<v Speaker 4>Has set to certify this election. I do want to

246
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:15.240
<v Speaker 4>note that in Ohio we have two counts.

247
00:12:15.240 --> 00:12:17.879
<v Speaker 3>We have the election night count, which is the unofficial count,

248
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:20.919
<v Speaker 3>and we keep going election night until we get to

249
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:23.080
<v Speaker 3>one hundred percent precincts reporting.

250
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:25.360
<v Speaker 4>Then we don't.

251
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:29.840
<v Speaker 3>Continue a periodic count over the next two weeks. If

252
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:32.799
<v Speaker 3>there's just one additional official count that will occur on

253
00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:33.240
<v Speaker 3>the twenties.

254
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:35.919
<v Speaker 4>What we're doing in that two to three week period

255
00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:37.639
<v Speaker 4>is we are.

256
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.279
<v Speaker 3>Verifying the provisionals that are eligible to be added. We

257
00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:45.200
<v Speaker 3>also are receiving late rising vote by mail ballots. So

258
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:47.960
<v Speaker 3>as long as a vote by mail ballot is postmarked

259
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:52.279
<v Speaker 3>honor before November fourth and received by Saturday, November ninth,

260
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:55.320
<v Speaker 3>that ballot can also be added to the official count.

261
00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:59.320
<v Speaker 3>So we're conducted balloty accounting, we're ensuring that all of

262
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:03.759
<v Speaker 3>the material were returned, we're inspecting them from the polling places,

263
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:07.320
<v Speaker 3>and then we're processing those aptanties in those provisionals.

264
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:08.600
<v Speaker 4>So that's what's.

265
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:11.960
<v Speaker 3>Happening during that two week period after election day, and

266
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:14.919
<v Speaker 3>then on the twentieth we will run our official counts

267
00:13:15.159 --> 00:13:17.879
<v Speaker 3>and have the certified results of this election.

268
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:20.039
<v Speaker 1>There's been a lawsuit filed on this. I'm not sure

269
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:23.240
<v Speaker 1>the resolution. Let's say Tony Bender works as a nurse's

270
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:26.200
<v Speaker 1>aid at a nursing home and there's fifty people there

271
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:30.480
<v Speaker 1>that are voting. Either they requested it and they got it,

272
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:33.440
<v Speaker 1>or they somehow not able to get.

273
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Out to go vote.

274
00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:37.799
<v Speaker 1>What is the rule now about shall we say, one

275
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:42.519
<v Speaker 1>person gathering dozens and dozens of ballots and putting them

276
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:45.200
<v Speaker 1>in the ballot in the drop box.

277
00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:46.840
<v Speaker 2>What is the rule on that?

278
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:52.639
<v Speaker 3>So if you can return a family member's ballot, and

279
00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:56.279
<v Speaker 3>you can also return anyone can return a voter with

280
00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:59.600
<v Speaker 3>a disability stout that's a little bit different. So for

281
00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:03.559
<v Speaker 3>voter with disabilities, they can designate someone other than a

282
00:14:03.559 --> 00:14:08.000
<v Speaker 3>family member to return their ballot to the Board of Elections,

283
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:12.000
<v Speaker 3>but that person delivering that ballot has to either come

284
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:14.320
<v Speaker 3>inside or Actually, Hamilton County, we sort of set up

285
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:19.360
<v Speaker 3>a bipartisan team that's outside collecting during our busy hours.

286
00:14:19.519 --> 00:14:21.240
<v Speaker 3>But they have to fill out a form. They have

287
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:26.519
<v Speaker 3>to felt this attestation, swearing and affirming that they returned this.

288
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:30.039
<v Speaker 4>Particular voter's ballot. So that's what's a little different.

289
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:33.639
<v Speaker 3>I will note with nursing homes, we work with every

290
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:36.480
<v Speaker 3>nursing home in Hamilton County, and if there's voters who

291
00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:39.600
<v Speaker 3>are confined to a nursing home and need assistance in voting,

292
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:43.679
<v Speaker 3>we send a bipartisan team out to that nursing home.

293
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:48.320
<v Speaker 3>And it's a bipartisan sworn election officials that simply do

294
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:52.080
<v Speaker 3>nothing but read the ballot verbatim and then mark the ballot.

295
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.679
<v Speaker 4>So we actually to have election officials that take care of.

296
00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:57.679
<v Speaker 1>That sounds like voter suppression to me, I don't know,

297
00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:01.120
<v Speaker 1>it sounds like a lot of suppression going on. Nonetheless,

298
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Sherry Poland, thank you. Do you have any questions for me?

299
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:05.759
<v Speaker 1>I've been quizzing you the last twenty minutes or so.

300
00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Do you have any questions for me about politics, sports,

301
00:15:08.399 --> 00:15:11.440
<v Speaker 1>world capitals. Something has confused you over the years. I

302
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:12.039
<v Speaker 1>can help you with.

303
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:17.639
<v Speaker 3>I think you've answered all my questions.

304
00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:19.399
<v Speaker 1>And how much long are you going to do this?

305
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:22.759
<v Speaker 1>Because I talked to Democrats, talk to Republicans. Sure the

306
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:24.559
<v Speaker 1>best there is. How much more time do you have

307
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:26.639
<v Speaker 1>left to serve? And are you Are you proud about

308
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:28.759
<v Speaker 1>what you've done at Hamilty County Board of Elections.

309
00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:32.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm I'm so proud of the bipartisan team that we

310
00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:34.519
<v Speaker 3>have here at the Board of Elections.

311
00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:35.200
<v Speaker 4>I really am.

312
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:39.559
<v Speaker 3>It's something that's pretty incredible to watch. It's Democrats and

313
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:42.759
<v Speaker 3>Republicans who put their politics aside when they come here

314
00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:45.279
<v Speaker 3>to work because we just focus on a common goal

315
00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:47.600
<v Speaker 3>that we all have and not the administering a free

316
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:50.360
<v Speaker 3>and fire election. So I'm extremely proud to be a

317
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:51.240
<v Speaker 3>part of this team.

318
00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:53.759
<v Speaker 1>Well, with your permission, maybe next week I'll check in,

319
00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:57.679
<v Speaker 1>But right now, one hundred and eight thousand voted fifty

320
00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:02.600
<v Speaker 1>seven thousand, early fifty in person, and you anticipate a turnout,

321
00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:05.080
<v Speaker 1>you might get to two hundred thousand, but probably not

322
00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:07.840
<v Speaker 1>close to that. And in the last election, seventy two

323
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:10.159
<v Speaker 1>percent voted in twenty twenty. You hope to get closed

324
00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:14.639
<v Speaker 1>for more than that number in twenty twenty four. Sherry Poland,

325
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:16.679
<v Speaker 1>once again, you're the best of what you do. And

326
00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:19.159
<v Speaker 1>thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. And

327
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:22.080
<v Speaker 1>if you thought about controlling the Bengals, would you consider

328
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:24.720
<v Speaker 1>becoming the general manager of the Bengals if offered.

329
00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:28.039
<v Speaker 4>That is not my area of expertise.

330
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Nor is it Mike Brown's area of expertise. So that's

331
00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:35.120
<v Speaker 1>a bigger problem. But nonetheless, Sherry Poland, once again, thank

332
00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:36.840
<v Speaker 1>you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show.

<v Speaker 2>And God bless you, thank you, Sherry, thank.

334
00:16:38.519 --> 00:16:40.279
<v Speaker 4>You, thank you, thank you for having me.

335
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:41.840
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's continue with more.

336
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:43.919
<v Speaker 1>She got to control the Reds and the Bengals, put

337
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:46.679
<v Speaker 1>them all together, general manager. Let's have some victories around

338
00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:50.960
<v Speaker 1>this place. And is Carson Palmer's ghost in the body

339
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:54.000
<v Speaker 1>now of Joe Burrow? I don't want to be negative.
