How to Steal an Election: Mail-In Ballots

[g5000]

OP Comment: The answer is to go back to the Constitution: "Congress sets a national Election Day. Currently, electors are chosen on the Tuesday following the first Monday in November (the first Tuesday after November 1), in the year before the president's term is to expire." That's it and no more. No early voting, no mail in voting, none of that invented bullshit. On the Tuesday following the first Monday in November you go in, show your ID, and vote.

Now that we have established you have never read the Constitution (spending too much time on hack web sites instead of reading it, maybe?), here is what the actual Constitution says about elections:

The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

The State Legislatures determine the MANNER of holding elections. That means they can allow absentee ballots, mail-in ballots and early voting.

I guess you are ignorant of the fact elections were not always held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November. That did not become law until 1845. And it was enacted by the US Congress, not the Constitution.

Before that, states were holding their elections willy nilly within a 34 day window before the first Wednesday in December.

So your whole rant is built on a completely bogus premise.

It's not fear mongering from the right when a openly hostile dem county (Fairfax Co, Virginia) Registrar gives a interview with both WAPO & WTOP Radio News and hints at voter intimidation due to the increased number of right-leaning poll watchers during the early voting period.

It's very telling, they be skerred of what was coming and given the results in Virginia they had reason to be.

Oversight, it's what's on the menu going forward so belly-up to the table or go cheat someplace else..

What does that have to do with illegal ballots being cast?

 

[bodecea]

Yep, I hate it when morons like you can vote. That's the essential flaw of democracy.

More Ironic Projection there.

Ruby Freeman, for one.

Nope. Not true! Just another internet rumor that spread like wild fire in right wing circles!

Claim
The FBI arrested Georgia election worker Ruby Freeman in December 2020.
Rating
False
False


Origin
On Dec. 17, 2020, dozens of Twitter accounts started spamming social media with near-verbatim messages falsely claiming that a woman named Ruby Freeman had been arrested by the FBI for crimes related to election fraud in Atlanta, Georgia.

The viral copypaste read:

“HUGE BREAKING NEWS! Ruby Freeman (the Democrat suitcase blonde-braid woman in GA) has been arrested! She has acknowledged to law enforcement and investigators her role in the Fulton County methods of GOP witness complaints and the after hours ballot scheme count.”

There was no truth to this rumor. The FBI did not arrest Ruby Freeman for election fraud and this person was not suspected (outside of conspiracy-minded circles) of any illegal activity related to the 2020 election.

While most of the iterations of this viral message that we encountered simply contained the message above, some versions were part of longer Twitter threads that included additional claims about various charges that the FBI allegedly filed against Freeman.

Continued here:

After the suitcase-of-fraud claims were dismissed by election officials, social media users started sharing a “confession” that Freeman supposedly posted to her Instagram account. This Instagram account, however, does not actually belong to Freeman. Shortly after this “confession” went viral, the @RubyFreeman_Georgia Instagram account (which was created on the same day this message was posted), started sharing content that mocked those who fell for its ruse.

In addition to falsely accusing this woman of confessing to election fraud, many social media users also passed around a mug shot of an entirely different “Ruby Freeman” in an apparent attempt to further smear her character or resuscitate this rumor.

The accusations against Freeman were without merit, as were a plethora of claims holding that the 2020 presidential election was marred by widespread voter fraud. Claims of voter fraud have been dismissed by election officials and lawsuits alleging fraud have been dismissed by judges across the country.

As for Ruby Freeman, she was not arrested by the FBI and she is not suspected (outside of conspiracy-minded circles) of any wrongdoing related to the 2020 election.

Typical right-wing bullshit. There is nothing wrong with mail-in ballots or early voting. The Constitution was created at a time when there were many fewer voters than there are now. To suggest we go back to the Constitution is not reality. Where in the Constitution does it say you have to have a ID to vote. Many people did not have IDs when the Constitution was written. Going back to the Constitution means no voter ID.

I think when they say go back to the original constitution, they mean to exclude women, blacks, foreigners and indians from voting.

It is amazing how many alleged constitutionalists I encounter on this forum who have never actually read the Constitution. They have no idea what it says and parrot what they are told about it by their hack partisan propagandists.

I guess they haven't read it because it is longer than a tweet.

From doing a lot of ancestry researching, most people could barely read or write or sign their names, there was a lot of "X" marks, for the signature spots, even on land deeds!

 

[busybee01]

I see that you are ignorant and ill informed. This case was documented and debated a few weeks back. Now shut up stupid.

You are the one who is ignorant and ill-informed. Nothing has been documented. You are the one who needs to shut-up and you are the stupid one.

The history of voting in America is a fascinating one.

Party machines used to give their loyal members big giant colored ballots to turn in on Election Day. The problem was, when someone was walking to the voting box, everyone could see who he was going to vote for by the color of the giant ballot in his hand. Much violence ensued. Like Crips vs. Bloods.

 

[g5000]

In the very early days, there were no paper ballots. Voting was done by voice. You would shout your choice for an office and the county clerk would record it in a book.

Then when paper ballots came along, there was no standard for them. So parties would issue their own ballots for the voters to submit.

Here's one:

If some poor schlub was spotted with a big yellow ticket headed for City Hall in a Democratic-nominated district, he was likely to get his ass beaten. And vice versa.

 

[busybee01]

It is up to the States to determine how to run their elections

2020 had the most mail in votes in history, more Americans voted than anytime in history and 2020 was the most honestly conducted election in history

That is not entirely true. The Constitution allows Congress to step in if a state engages in corrupt voting practices. This is what Republicans have been engaging in.

How to Steal an Election: Mail-In Ballots​

What’s the difference between absentee balloting and universal mail-in balloting? The latter might sound like a great idea, but is it really? Eric Eggers of the Government Accountability Institute answers this vitally important question.

OP Comment: The answer is to go back to the Constitution: "Congress sets a national Election Day. Currently, electors are chosen on the Tuesday following the first Monday in November (the first Tuesday after November 1), in the year before the president's term is to expire." That's it and no more. No early voting, no mail in voting, none of that invented bullshit. On the Tuesday following the first Monday in November you go in, show your ID, and vote.

Mail in ballots? You don't get much with that.

Try gerrymandering. The Republicans have Redmap, literally their way of stealing elections. No where more than North Carolina shows this, where the Republicans can win no matter what happens

2018 North Carolina House of Representatives election - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

2018 and they won 48.18% of the vote to the Dems 50.54% and still won 65 seats to the Dems 55 because THEY CHEATED LIKE FUCKING CRAZY.

 

[healthmyths]

which shows why the signatures of mail in votes are checked against signatures on file

But those "JUNK MAIL voting" states simply mail a ballot to anyone on the voting register. And then they compare with a signature on file right? What happens when the recipient has moved, or dead?
But the big issue is the bulk falsified ballots. And those swing states didn't keep the ballots envelopes to verify the signatures!

• About 50,000 voters did receive the wrong ballot in the post, in Franklin County, Ohio, in early October.
• New York, nearly 100,000 ballots were resent to voters after some names and addresses were printed incorrectly
• In Michigan about 400 postal ballots listed the wrong running mate for President Trump - the Libertarian Party's Jeremy Cohen instead of Mike Pence. President Trump claimed in September this had been deliberate. But the Michigan secretary of state said it had been an error and "impacted voters immediately received an accurate ballot and guidance to ensure their vote counts".

The ballot is returned in two envelopes
The internal envelope is signed by the voter on the outside

It is verified against the signature on file. If they don’t match, that vote is not counted.

I heard the Democrats mailed water soluble ballots by the millions to registered Republicans.

And they used Italian military satellites to change Trump votes to Biden votes. No, really! Italian military satellites!

And the Chinese flew in god knows how many hundreds of thousands of bamboo ballots pre-marked for Biden in the names of registered Republicans without anyone noticing or showing up as a double voter.

And of course there are the five million illegal Mexicans who voted for Hillary in 2016 who are so goddammed brilliant not one of them has been caught or found despite Trump's best efforts to find those bastards. Hell, I couldn't get to the voting booth without slapping five or six of them out of the way! Their sombreros kept poking me in the eye.

But by far the most amazing achievement was the total infiltration and takeover by Democrats of the Cyber Ninjas.

The average IQ of Democrats must be at least double digits above that of the Republicans!

Plus also, the Covid vaccine makes you magnetic. It's true! Fucking spoons keep sticking to me, which is making it hard to mix my Trump Vodka and orange juice. I need to drink at least 20 screwdrivers to be in the right frame of mind to watch American hero Tucker Carlson.

Of course you believe that. You're a leftwing douchebag. What else could you believe? It couldn't possibly be because you're a left-wing moron, right?
