From the Cincinnati Enquirer:
The Hamilton County Board of Elections has received at least 10,000 duplicate voter registrations this year and possibly thousands of fictitious ones, according to deputy director John Williams. The deadline to register was Monday.
Officials don’t know how many of the registration cards are truly fictional because the local board – although it does have some safeguards in place to weed out problematic cards – has no method of cross checking the registrations against a state database.
That’s why cross-checks at the state level are so important.
And that's probably why Jennifer Brunner doesn't want cross-checks. We might actually catch her friends and allies scamming the system.
