There’s a big difference between ‘mail-in’ ballots and ‘absentee’ ballots. An absentee ballot is requested by a verified voter. The request is signed and a ballot is mailed to that voter at a verified address. Mail-in ballots are sent out in bulk to a list of unverified voters to unverified addresses. The opportunity for fraud is great. Anyone receiving these unrequested ballots can fill them out (illegally) and return them. Many addresses receive ballots from previous tenants, deceased relatives, or in previous names of the current tenants. One person has the opportunity to fill in and return multiple ballots.
In Michigan, during the August 4, 2020 primary, 10,694 mail-in ballots were rejected. Rejected ballots include: 846 from dead people; 2,225 lacked a signature; 1,111 were discarded because the voters had moved. Source: Detroit News
Ballot-minders in Clark County Nevada said that they went the way of mail-in ballots because of pressure from state and national Democrats. They mailed 1,325,934 ballots during primary voting. Of these; 223,469 ballots were ‘undeliverable’ and 305,000 were returned. 92,337 of the ‘undeliverable’ ones belonged to Democrats; 53,129 were Republicans; and, 78,003 were non-partisan or 3rd party.
In April, Public Interest Foundation (PILF) estimated that “28-million ballots went missing over the last decade”. PILF’s President and General Counsel, J. Christian Adams, said “That’s 28-million opportunities to cheat. And, putting an election in the hands of the U.S. Postal Service would be a catastrophe.”
These were comments and facts from only two states. More to come …
