The key to election integrity is the vote audit. Absentee ballots work because they originate with a request from the voter. The mail-out ballot is different: there is no beginning point for an audit trail. Even were there, the existence of collection boxes and ballot harvesting would negate the audit trail. Add "No need to match signatures" and there's no way to have a reliable election.
The Democrats are not interested in election integrity. They are interested in harvesting votes, any vote - under-18, illegals, deceased, criminals, duplicates. Until those illegally voted have been rounded up and thrown into jail, corrupt elections will be the norm.
Yes. This is why they want to litter the countryside with 'legal' ballots. It doesn't take much effort to round up the 'unused' ballots and 'magically' have them find their way into a box.
It would help if partisan elected politicians were barred from resigning to become Secretary of State and oversee elections. That's happened in Washington.
I think it's safe to assume at this point that election integrity has basically become the Democratic Party's kryptonite. Nearly everything about the 2020 election was sketchy. The notion that it was "the most secure ever" is laughable.
Before the 2020 election at least, it was commonly accepted that mail-in voting practically invites fraud. In 2005, the Carter-Baker Commission Report, which was conducted after the 2000 election to rebuild voter confidence, concluded that mail-in balloting is inherently vulnerable to fraud and abuse. In fact, the report states that mail-in ballots are “the largest source of potential voter fraud.” And wouldn’t you know it, until this past election cycle the Carter-Baker Report was considered the gold standard for election integrity, and has even been cited by the Supreme Court.
In 2012, the New York Times published a story entitled “Error and Fraud at Issue as Absentee Voting Rises.” That story’s conclusion? That “votes cast by mail are less likely to be counted, more likely to be compromised and more likely to be contested than those cast in a voting booth, statistics show.” According to the article, election officials reject double the number of ballots cast by mail than for in-person voting.

Yet during the 2020 election, rejections fell to unbelivable numbers. We're supposed to believe that the first time most people are using the system, they're BETTER than 'normal'?
0.8% of absentee/mail-in ballots were rejected in 2020
Ballotpedia recently completed our analysis of rejection rates in last year’s general election which determined that 0.8% of the 70,550,699 absentee/mail-in ballots cast were rejected. By comparison, 1.4% of the 30.4 million absentee/mail-in ballots cast in 2018 were rejected, and 1.0% of 33.4 million such ballots were rejected in 2016. Our analysis of turnout and absentee/mail-in data is based on the U.S. Election Assistance Commission’s (EAC) annual “Election Administration and Voting Survey” released on August 16 and state-level data.
Ah man, facts are such a bother. Wonder why signatures were not really checked? Wonder why Shiva found so many ballot images in AZ were likely fraudulent? Another report for the ash can of history. And a corrupt press who gives no coverage to anything that spoils their narrative.
IMO the 'mail in states' (like WA) have perfected the art of the undetectable steal. They just have to introduce so many integrity holes that we can't possibly watch them all. Every single 'extra' ballot floating around the countryside is such an integrity hole.
If you know,………with rare exception, I have always voted by mail. I have never just dropped my ballot in some “drop off” place. I have always just put in the USPost Box. Were the ballots that came into question in 2020 from something other than the USPS box?

Exactly the case.

Not just Dems. All establishment national politicians use the steal and the Dominion e-flip.
Yes. This is why they want to litter the countryside with 'legal' ballots. It doesn't take much effort to round up the 'unused' ballots and 'magically' have them find their way into a box.
Delaware must have realized what a mistake it was to sneak a slimy politician from their state into "the most powerful position in the 'free' world."
Good for you - nice to see something going in the right direction somewhere.
It would help if partisan elected politicians were barred from resigning to become Secretary of State and oversee elections. That's happened in Washington.
But but but...... election shenanigans/fraud are all a "Big Lie!!"
*Obviously doesn't apply to 2016 elections.
Delaware thought there was a problem? Delaware? I bet Obiden is having a fit about that!

The way to ensure election integrity is shut the fuck up, election-denying terrorist!
We are amused………that’s the imperial we.

The urgency for mail in voting in 2020 “because of COVID” is probably the first time I paused to consider the conspiratorial possibilities...
