Mail in voting strikes again! This time in Maine

[TheGreatSatan]

All 10 defendants, according to indictments handed up in 2019, had a common involvement with Leslie McCrae Dowless Jr., a longtime political operative in rural Bladen County.

Dowless also was indicted on more than a dozen state charges, with his case scheduled last year to go to trial last month. He rejected a plea agreement and looked forward to his day in court, according to a friend. But he died in April after being diagnosed with lung cancer. Freeman said at the time that the prosecution of the other cases would continue.

Dowless worked in the 2018 congressional race for then-Republican candidate Mark Harris, who appeared to have received the most votes in the general election for the 9th District seat in south-central North Carolina.

But allegations against Dowless surfaced, and testimony and other information revealed at a State Board of Elections hearing described him running an illegal “ballot harvesting” operation for the 2018 general election in Bladen County. In it, according to testimony, Dowless and his helpers gathered up hundreds of absentee ballots from voters by offering to put them in the mail.

Democrats have entire mills funded by WEF NGOs doing this on an industrial scale.

If it wasn't for fraud and harvesting mills democrats wouldn't win anywhere

An American voting for democrats is like a chicken voting for KFC

Democrats = fraudsters

Everything I posted is 100% true.

Story was: In early OCT in AZ they (who?) sent out 32K mail ballots, wrong ZIP code. Why? Sighing. Oooops they say, they will resend with the full batch going out end of OCT.

Where did those 32K go? Sitting on a dirty pallet at USPS? Harvested? Returned? To whom? Where's the accounting? The shredding. The proof.

This is just in example. No penalty. No answers, no R interest. No followup.

Ballots are priceless. Yet traded like the useless Safeway weekly ad.//

It's not who counts the votes, it's whether Putin's pal can convince people the count can't be trusted.

Joke of the day.

GA: never an answer about re-running ballots stacks across different tabulators. Is there a serial number on every ballot? Do the machines network to shared database? We know once any ballot is out of the mail in envelope it is "untraceable" to any voter. Does that mean one name can vote 100 times? Never any answers.

Saw on video big Ralph in ATL take a stack (already ran thru desk 1) and carry them to desk 3 and re-run them. No doubt. Cheese gang cant and wont explain it. So they move on to other. Only RW made up a story every ballot is matched to a name once. Dumb. Loose ends.

Woman received 250 mail in ballots at her home.

Defend this one, democrats.

The fact is, there is no defending mail in voting (without ID) - it's a license to cheat.

This is how Democrats roll.

I know the hair on fire crowd will run with this and make wild claims, as some in this thread have already done.

I welcome an investigation to she how such a thing happened as why the **** would someone put 250 (supposedly) valid blank ballots into a random persons Amazon package. Well there are multiple possibilities:

• Someone is A few beers short of a six-pac,
• Someone in possession of official mail-in ballots and has an IQ just slightly above room temperature thinking the could get into the system,
• Somone was/is against mail in voting and had access to (supposedly) valid ballots and is trying to undermine the mail-in voting initiative.

Because at the end of the day these mail-in ballots would not be able to be used.

In Maine...

• The registered voter has to request a mail-in ballot,
• The request is entered into the voter registration system,
• A Mail-in Ballot Package is assembled consisting of the outer envelop for initial mailing, the inner envelop for return mailing, instructions on how to complete the process, and the mail-in ballot itself. This package is then bar/QR coded to that individual voter.
• That tracking information is then entered into the voter registration system for mailing.
• The individual receivs the package, completes the process, and returns the completed ballot in the return envelop.
• Election officials receive the envelop and process it and part of that process is the scan back in the bar/QR code showing receipt which is then used to update the voter registration information showing that individual voted. This prevents (a) multiple mail-in ballots form the same individual and the individual trying to vote both by mail and in person.
• The election officials then complete the rest of the security checks. Only then is the ballot seperated from the package for counting.

What does this mean? 250 "ballots" received in an Amazon package are NOT going to have the other materials required to complete the process, they are not going to be bar/QR coded back to an individual that had requested a mail in ballot, would not pass security checks, and would not be able to be turned in and processed by election officials.

Smells like, either a major screw up somewhere or someone is trying to generate hysteria about mail in voting to the uninformed as a news media splash knowing that most people will not think through the processd. (As some posters in this thread have demonstrated already.)

It's a claim on X. Over and over and over when MAGA had the actual opportunity to prove cheating in a court of law they always arrived empty handed.

Your ASSuming these persons follow the law. Please.

Ballots cannot be traced to any name. Only the envelopes. Stop it//

People carry massive backpack, coolers on wheels in - out of vote counting buildings. Easy to drag in a stack of ballots.

Word is in ATL even copy paper was used to generate Boden only ballots in a late rush. Ballots boxes sealed and request denied to look thru.

Another way the lefties cheat is through signature verification. There were municipalities that had roughly the same level of ballots thrown out from no signature or signatures that did not match. Something like 4% typically.

In 2020, these same blue municipalities had a 0.5% rejection rate from signature verification.

That is an 85% drop from the most of the previous POTUS elections.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Fulton county skipped SIG verify on 147K mail in ballots.

No scans done or saved as required by law. They simply said, the machine was not working. Judge did nothing about it.

Wow. That’s brazen, but exactly the kind of thing I was referring to. Thanks for sharing that. I did not know. ******* Atlanta. Biden won JAWJA by .23%….less than 12,000 votes out of 9 million cast.

Full on stolen.

I'll be interested to see what an investigation reveals. Is this incident either an indictment of mail in voting generally or evidence Dem's are responsible for what happened? No. Is your thread yet another attempt to justify trump's plot to steal the election in 2020 based on false, unproven accusations of massive voter fraud? Yes.

AI Overview

A woman in Newburgh, Maine, received an Amazon package containing 250 blank election ballots in early October 2025. The incident, which is under investigation by the state, has raised concerns about election security just before a statewide referendum on tightening absentee voting laws.
Details of the incident

• What happened: The woman ordered household goods on Amazon but found hundreds of blank, unused ballots inside the box, in addition to her actual order.
• Package tampering: The woman reported that the box appeared to have been opened and re-taped.
• Investigation: Amazon stated that their initial findings suggest the tampering occurred outside of their network and is cooperating with law enforcement.
• Response: The woman turned the ballots over to the Newburgh town clerk via law enforcement.

Official statements and political context

• State Investigation: Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows confirmed an investigation, stating, "Safe and secure elections are my top priority," and that law enforcement is working to hold those responsible accountable.
• Calls for federal investigation: Maine Republican leaders have called for a federal investigation by the U.S. Attorney General and the FBI.
• Connection to referendum: The incident occurred just before absentee voting began for a statewide referendum that seeks to tighten absentee voting restrictions and require photo identification at the polls.

So the best ya got is to whine and cry about 2020?

Anything on topic, troll?
