During the 2008 presidential election, 102 precincts in Ohio reported voter turnout exceeding 100%. In total, these precincts recorded 60,133 more ballots than registered voters. This is not lawful and could have affected the outcomes of election races in Ohio.

Despite these figures, the result were certified - first at the precinct level, then by 11 counties, and ultimately by Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner.

Ballot totals exceeding the number of registered voters indicate ballot stuffing. This raises concerns about whether similar issues could exist in other precincts that do not exceed 100% turnout but may still contain irregularities. This highlights the importance of maintaining accurate and up-to-date voter registration rolls. 

The data referenced was reported from the Ohio Secretary of State's website, specifically the June 16, 2023 posting of "2008 Official Results," based on the statewide voter registration database. If these reported results were to change in the future, it would warrant a transparent review to verify the accuracy of the official vote totals, as changes to certified reported results must be fully documented and explained. 

When the Butler County Board of Elections was presented with data indicating turnout over 100% in several precincts, officials responded that the information was incorrect and provided records showing discrepancies with Butler County's voter registration database. However, when informed that the data originated from the Secretary of State's official reporting, the Board did not respond to further questions. Similarly, the Secretary of State's  office did not provide clarification regarding the 102 precincts reporting more votes than registered voters or the differences between the "official" state and a county database. 

Because Ohio's certified vote totals are based on the Secretary of State's official database rather than individual county records, these discrepancies raise questions about data consistency and warrant further explanation to ensure public confidence in the reported results.
