#1 Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose has written to Postal Service headquarters calling for an investigation and steps to make sure the issue doesn't happen this fall.

A strongly worded démarche was it ?

#2 Is the post office that inept? Somehow I doubt it, I suspect the ballots were lost after delivery, bot before.

#3 Well, if people insist on voting the wrong party - it's like putting a wrong address on the envelope.

#4 This story is a few weeks old. AG Yost barked but so far has no bite. Since Dewine canceled the election he does not want to bring any attention to voting failures. Many suspect the D counties in the north held a few ballots as well. Ballots sit in the Post Office until after the election. Everyone here knows how each zip code leans.
Put this in the "nothing to see here" category.

#5 require ID to vote > pushback citing disenfranchising of people who can't or won't get IDs, generally 'homeless'

voting by mail > actual disenfranchisement of the homeless: crickets.

it's almost like there is some other motive to not requiring IDs and allowing votes to go into a big mystery box

I wonder what it could be?

#7 No mail-in voting except for the military and government officials and maybe a few others overseas and the infirm or bed-ridden. If people can't get out to vote, they don't deserve to vote. Also voter ID, a requirement--you need to prove who you are.

#8 I got to thinking, how did they know more than 300 ballots is missing? I would think that they shouldn't know until the ballots is actually delivered!

Something smell here...

#9  how did they know more than 300 ballots is missing?

They were just delivered, almost two weeks after the deadline to include them in the count. I tracked the ballots from my household on the Ohio Board of Elections/Butler County webpage, and while all four of our records are marked as absentee ballots having been issued and mailed, for none of us is a ballot is marked as received. Final daughter has a different last name, three of us voted in the Democratic primary (by which time Joe Biden was the only candidate left standing), and we all voted for the library levy — which passed handily — so I suspect an overwhelmed post office in the early days of the shutdown rather than enemy action.

#10 TW, I admire your spunk in diligently tracking your votes. Also makes me wonder if my wife and I can do that where we live. Will check into this.

#11 JohnQC, I called and left a message with the county board of elections, asking that they reassure me that votes were received and counted.
