    What is interesting is they are claiming that because this was the 1st time they had to take in "many more" mail-in ballots that is the reason for all the issues.

    I mean, what can go wrong when 140 million try to mail in a ballot?

    How easy it must be to just reject based on a signature or accept some dead persons ballot based on likeness.....

    I would support mail in ballots under ONE condition. It would be a criminal offense, punishable by a mandatory 5 year jail sentence with no parole and a fine, IF a political campaign, or any person representing a campaign or a group or their self that is campaigning or supporting a particular candidate, solicits in person at a residence between when the Mail- in ballot arrives at the residence and when polls close. No group or individual associated with the campaign, or a group that supports the campaign, or an individual who operates in any official capacity on behalf of the campaign, shall assist an individual with candidate selection or in filling out the ballot; the only individuals who may assist are the official election commission officers and staff who will be housed in neutral, centralized offices.

    Im not half as worried about the USPS screwing this up as much as I am leftist ground forces using this as a way to harvest votes, by collecting pre-signed ballots and filling in the candidates, or sitting at a kitchen table, telling the person who to choose. If a voter does not know who to choose, then they are obviously not engaged in the election. Thus, from the moment the ballot arrives, no leftist ground person, (or rightist) can be allowed to participate in the voting process with or for someone.

    From the get go, all I’ve had rolling around in my head is a repeat of the Broward County fiasco of 2000, where leftist ground groups bused hundreds of people to the poll and told them to vote for the “second person”, just punch the second bubble for us and we’ll give you a pack of cigarettes. That second bubble turned out to be Pat Buchanan. With mail in ballots, these dishonest ground groups can select the candidate for the person insuring their fraud is completed, and with the way the Democrats are wanting to set this up, the fraud will be impossible to detect .... UNLESS, you ban them from going anywhere near the front door.

    From PA: “So the PA Dept of State, in its filing today, says mail ballots should be counted if they are received by Friday after Election Day (Nov. 6) and are postmarked by Election Day; have no postmark; or have illegible postmarks. Only reject them if they are postmarked after E-Day.”

    Question: how can something mailed legally “not” have a legible post mark?


    Is this the “found a box of votes” method?

    I agree. Have overseas mail-in ballots accepted after election day in the past?

    My parish allows early voting, which my wife and I do often. But we have had the same address and voting precinct for 25 years, and the same commissioners working the polls all that time. They know us on a first name basis, and yet we have never been allowed to vote without showing ID. Proving your identity is fundamental ballot security; can't be done with a mail-in ballot.
