Illegal Votes in Cuyahoga County

No shock here. It's reported that many illegal votes were cast in strongly-Democrat Cuyahoga County.

Plain Dealer:
Nearly 12,000 people in Cuyahoga County cast votes illegally on Election Day, without signing the election books or, likely, showing identification as required by a new state law.

In 533 of the 570 voting precincts in Cuyahoga County, more voters cast ballots Nov. 7 than signed in, according to board records.

With some polling places, the numbers were off by more than 100. But the differences at 144 of the locations were fewer than 10 each.
I don't suppose that the discrepancies are going to be reviewed to determine if any races were affected. In any event, with 533 of 570 precincts showing bogus numbers, it's not a stretch to say that the Cuyahoga County Election Board has a generic incompetency problem.

It's probably unfair to assume the election problems are simply a result of arithmetic being viewed as higher education by students in the Cleveland Public School System.
