   O.K. B.O.E. called back; they said it was probably a ‘clerical error’ and will change it later online.

   I mailed my absentee ballot in some time ago and just checked it online, it was received but says it was received “over the counter” instead of saying received via “mail.” I called the B.O.E. but only got a recording. Does anyone know what that means? My husband mailed his in at the same time and his says received via “mail.”

   Here’s the address for the ballot tracking for Ohio:
