President Donald Trump has warned about election fraud for months and the problems plagued with universal mail-in-voting.

We are seeing those concerns come to fruition, when Franklin County, Ohio’s election board announced that 50,000 voters received an incorrect absentee ballot this week. Those ballots account for almost 21% of the ballots mailed out this week in Franklin County,

The President immediately tweeted on Friday, after his much anticipated radio rally with conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, “Breaking News: 50,000 Ohio Voters getting wrong absentee ballots. Out of control. A rigged election!!!”

The information was issued in a press release from the election board.

With only 25 days left until the election, the election board had to rush to start processing and printing ballot replacements to all individual voters who received the wrong ballots.

The officials noted that the ballots will be sent through the U.S. Postal Service within 72 hours to the voters.

“We want to make it clear that every voter who received an inaccurate ballot will receive a corrected ballot,” stated the election board said.

They noted that “stringent tracking measures are in place to guarantee that a voter can only cast one vote.”

The Biden administration has maintained for months that among its primary goals is to keep the Gaza conflict between terror group Hamas and Israel from turning into a wider regional war. However, House Republican leaders accused President Joe Biden of failing to enforce existing measures and said they would take up this week a series of bills to sharpen sanctions on Iran.

Kimberly Donovan, a sanctions and anti-money laundering expert at the Atlantic Council, said that oil-related sanctions have not been strictly enforced in the past couple of years.

“I would not expect the administration to tighten enforcement in response to Iran’s missile and drone attacks against Israel over the weekend, mainly for concerns (that) could lead to increases in oil prices,” she said.

“The price of oil and ultimately the prices of gas at the pump become critical during an election year.”
