TX Attorney General: Trump is right about mail in voter fraud.

More confirmed mail in vote fraud.................

Twitter claims 'no evidence' of mail-in voter fraud despite numerous convictions since 2016


witter this week slapped a warning label on some of Donald Trump's tweets for the first time, cautioning users that the president's "series of claims about potential voter fraud" were "unsubstantiated," citing "CNN, Washington Post and others" for authority. "Experts say mail-in ballots are very rarely linked to voter fraud," Twitter declared.

In an accompanying "What you need to know" list, the social media giant added that "fact checkers say there is no evidence that mail-in ballots are linked to voter fraud."


In fact, there have been numerous cases of mail-in voter fraud scattered widely across the country over the past four years, evidence that the absentee ballot system is open to at least some voter manipulation, even as many experts and pundits continue to insist otherwise.

According to data compiled by the Heritage Foundation, there have been around three dozen criminal convictions for absentee ballot fraud over the past four years, and those cases are but a small subset of over 200 convictions for various types of voter fraud the conservative organization says have occurred since 2016.

In one case from 2016, Indiana police officer Lowell Colen was convicted of absentee ballot fraud in an attempt to help his father win a city council election. Colen eventually pled guilty to four felony counts of voter fraud, with prosecutors claiming he filled out false registrations and forged numerous signatures.

In 2018, authorities arrested Florida man Bret Warren after they determined he had stolen five absentee ballots and fraudulently voted with them. Warren eventually pled no contest to two charges of false swearing in connection with voting.

Last year, former Gordon, Alabama mayor Elbert Melton was convicted of absentee ballot fraud in a mayoral race he won by just 16 votes.

In 2018, New Mexico authorities indicted Laura Seeds on 13 counts of voter fraud related to her husband's 2016 mayoral race. Seeds was eventually convicted in part for illegally possessing two absentee voter ballots; her husband Robert won the race by two votes.

Thousands of deceased registrants, double registrations

Absentee ballot fraud is just one method of exploiting flaws in the system to perpetrate voting fraud. In some cases, for instance, dead voters have been found to have cast votes in numerous elections, as a local CBS report found in Colorado several years ago. The same phenomenon was discovered in Chicago as well.

The potential for posthumous voter fraud may be more acute in some states than others. The Public Interest Legal Foundation, a voting watchdog group, sent a notification letter to New Jersey's Division of Elections this week informing the state that it had found a total of nearly 12,000 "deceased individuals with an active registration in the State of New Jersey." Roughly half of those, the foundation said, had died eight or more years ago.

Media reports have revealed that numerous deceased residents of New Jersey have in the past received vote-by-mail notices.

The Public Interest Legal Foundation also told New Jersey it found "830 potentially duplicated registrations across state lines with apparent voting credits assigned by election officials in each state for the 2018 General Election." The foundation recently sent similar letters to Virginia and New Mexico.

Cash-for-ballot fraud, 'joke' tampering

Recently, some voter fraud cases have made headlines. Last week, a Democratic party official in Philadelphia pled guilty to a voter-fraud-for-cash scheme there.

Domenick DeMuro, a Democratic ward chairman in that city, admitted that he had "fraudulently stuffed the ballot box by literally standing in a voting booth and voting over and over, as fast as he could, while he thought the coast was clear," the Philadelphia U.S. Attorney's Office said.

DeMuro allegedly had a network of clients who paid him significant sums of money to rig elections.

A mail carrier in Pendleton County, West Virginia, meanwhile, recently admitted to investigators that he altered mail-in voting ballot documents. The U.S. Attorney's Office of the Northern District of West Virginia said in a press release yesterday that it was charging Thomas Cooper, a worker with the U.S. Postal Service, with "attempted election fraud."

An affidavit supplied by that office to Just the News states that last month the Pendleton County Clerk received several absentee mail-in ballot requests "in which the voter’s party-ballot request appeared to have been altered by use of a black-ink pen." On five of the requests, "it appeared that the voters ballot choice was changed from Democrat to Republican

West Virginia Attorney General Investigator Bennie Cogar was assigned to investigate the case, he said in the affidavit, leading both Cogar and U.S. Postal Inspector Todd Phillips to Tommy Cooper, a mail carrier for Pendleton County. "During the interview, Cooper said that 'yes,' he changed the requests that had been placed in the mail," the affidavit states.

I have never said I want to deny anyone’s right to vote. You are a lying sack.

Actions speak louder than words. That is exactly what you want using voter fraud as a strawman.

Based on the Super Bowl ticket fiasco when Dallas last hosted the game, I believe the handling of mail-in voting would also be above the intelligence level of Texans.

 

[CowboyTed]

If you are elderly or living outside of your voting district you can vote absentee...but blanketly send ballots out to everyone is OUT OF THE QUESTION.....nice try libtards...if you are afraid to vote than don't vote.....it is no different than a trip to the store.....

Show us where 'blanketly send ballots out to everyone' was done?

This is just another distraction issue for his supporters... Lets not look at over at the 1000+ people dying a day...

Voter fraud is not a major issue... Trump had a commission investigate this a couple of years ago and they embarrassingly couldn't find any major voter fraud....

There is more in the link. Anyone denying voter fraud by mail is a complete moron, a hack, or both.


Texas AG Ken Paxton: Trump is right and Twitter ‘fact check’ is wrong – mail-in ballot fraud is a real problem


In 2007, during a spirited debate over photo ID legislation while I was in the Texas Legislature, a Democratic lawmaker from Dallas objected to the bill on the grounds that it allowed voting by mail to proceed without photo identification.

The legislator said: “Vote by mail, that we know, is the greatest source of voter fraud in this state. In fact, all of the prosecutions by the attorney general – I shouldn’t say all, but a great majority of the prosecutions by the attorney general occur with respect to vote by mail.”

As the official now charged with prosecuting election fraud in Texas, I can say unequivocally that the legislator was right: going back more than a decade and continuing through the present day, around two-thirds of election fraud offenses prosecuted by my office have involved some form of mail-ballot fraud.

These prosecutions include instances of forgery and falsification of ballots.

One man pleaded guilty after forging 1,200 mail-in ballot applications, resulting in 700 suspected fraudulent votes in a 2017 Dallas election. He was identified after a voter, whose ballot he harvested, snapped a photo of him on her cellphone.

“Authentic” signatures are also collected from voters, either under false pretenses or by experienced harvesters who confidently gain compliance from voters, as illustrated in a video that surfaced during the 2018 primary in the Houston area.

The anonymous video appears to show how easily a ballot application and signature were collected from a voter by a campaign worker in less than 20 seconds. After providing her signature, the voter asked the worker: “Is this legal, what you’re doing?” The worker replied: “Yes, ma’am, we’ve done 400 already.”

In South Texas, a former U.S. Postal Service employee was convicted of bribery in a federal prosecution in 2017 for selling a list of absentee voters to vote harvesters for $1,200.

Once mail ballots go out, harvesters show up at a voter’s door and engage the voter to provide “voting assistance.” The variations are endless, but a common practice involves giving the voter the impression that the harvester is an election official.

Whatever the case, successful vote harvesters leave with a voter’s signature and a ballot that is either blank, voted in the way the harvester wants, or that can be modified (or disposed of) later.

Skilled vote harvesters appear friendly and helpful. They may engage the voter in reassuring political discourse while assisting the voter in filling out the ballot. One fraudster was convicted of unlawfully “assisting” elderly nursing home residents – including an Alzheimer’s patient –complete mail ballots.

Twitter’s head of site integrity, Yoel Roth, has attacked President Trump and his team as ‘ACTUAL NAZIS” and smeared Trump voters as supporting a “racist tangerine.”

These instances are just the tip of the iceberg. Mail ballot fraud has been documented across the country. In fact, the Heritage Foundation has helpfully assembled a searchable database of over 1,000 instances of election fraud resulting in some form of plea, penalty or judicial finding.

Many of those cases involving abuse of absentee ballots. Indeed, one of the most infamous instances of election fraud in recent memory – the 2018 contest for the 9th Congressional District in North Carolina – involved large-scale fraud conducted by ballot harvesters.

Texas AG Ken Paxton: Trump is right and Twitter ‘fact check’ is wrong – mail-in ballot fraud is a real problem

Twitter purported Tuesday to “fact check” two tweets by President Trump in which the president pointed out – accurately – that mail-in ballots present substantial risks of election fraud. I strongly disagree with Twitter.

I thank you for some information that appears credible. I wish the AG had supplied some details on how many convictions he is talking about, numbers, etc. Like links? If you were so inclined, maybe you could research that for us?

If he had supplied those numbers it would have undermined his assertions that it is a real problem.

Here's the heritage foundations list if vote fraud convictions in Texas over the last few years.

There are almost none.

Notice I use a conservative website. The op would normally take anything from heritage foundation as gospel, but he's sure to dispute this.

What I find sad- and sadly amusing about everyone parroting Trump's voter fraud lies is that none of you actually provide examples of significant voter fraud. It is no accident that the author of the article you cite doesn't mention the name of the man 'who pleaded guilty'- because facts really screw up Trumpkins case. That man? He pleaded guilty to one case of fraud. Dallas Man Goes To Jail After Voter Fraud Plea.

Even in your post- which mentions 'the most infamous instance of election fraud in recent memory'- doesn't mention that it was a Republican operative who was caught doing the fraud.

Sure voter fraud happens- apparently mostly by Republican operatives- but even after 3 years- Republicans still have not been able to find this 'massive voter fraud' Trump claimed happened. With all of the resources of the FBI if Trump can't find any significant voter fraud- then it doesn't exist.

This is all about preventing Americans from voting- because as Trump and the Republicans have said- if too many Americans are allowed to vote, no way he gets re-elected.

How much vote fraud is OK with you?

None. How much of 45's lying is OK with you. YOU have offered zip, zero, nada, nothing and none in the documented proof to support what is at best contention, conjecture and supposition.

NO proof...NO Proof....No Proof.

I am a Trained Elections Official. I speak from my training and experience, you use the lies of 45.

You failed to provide a link to you "83" ballots. Which election and in what year?

Out of how millions of votes cast did these "83" ballots (which YOU failed to provide of).

There no proof, no documented evidence of any Vote By Mail (V.B.M.) ballot being and/or being forged. NONE.

How are our Military Personnel suppose to vote BTW? That how the majority of Active Military Personn el vote. WHY DON'T YOU OUR MILITARY PERSONNEL TO VOTE?

You claim you do not want to suppress the vote, but you at the same want all but shut down V.B.M, which is exactly voter suppression is, denying people their Constitutional Right To Vote.

Voter Fraud is an STATISTICAL ANOMALY!!! In the 2016 Presidential Election there were 0.00002% cases of Voter Fraud.

Are you seriously going to try and tell us that out of the tens of millions of vote cast in 2016 that 0.000002% actually effect the outcome of that election?

Fraud is an ANOMALY.

YOU are more than happy to ignore out right Voter Suppression by RePuBliKlans and instead carp on what is at best is hardly blip on the election screen.

Paxton? That sleaze ball was previosuly arrested and charged with security fraud. Ken Paxton’s criminal trial has been pending for nearly four years. Here’s a timeline of his legal drama. Only in Texas would they elect an AG with a criminal history of fraud.

Voter Fraud has been Paxton's go to issue. Despite Paxton's many efforts he has failed to find any rampant voter fraud in Texas. When asked by the House of Representatives to show proof of Voter fraud he refused and ran away with his tail between his legs. Texas AG Refuses House Demand for Voter-Fraud Files

Well, I'll give Paxton this. He is an expert on how to commit fraud.

Feel free to disprove all the court cases he has brought, Dummy.

Or, just whine and cry like the little bitch you are.

Taking his words as true, everyone of those people were caught and prosecuted you moron. The Heritage Foundation study you found sites 1,228 cases of voter fraud out of "billions" cast. Get a grip, Nancy. There is no rampant voter fraud expect in the addled brains of Conservatives.

It is VERY frustrating that both the AG and the posters here refuse to back up their statements with actual cases, which were no doubt reported in the papers. The President's Commission never issued a report, citing lack of cooperation from the states. However, they blocked access to the working documents by actual Commission members, too. Dunlap is reviewing them now; the courts made Trump hand them over.

It seems to me that it would be easier to "cheat" by mail. Ballots floating around out there en masse just invite some scurilous types to take advantage. You're probably right that it is not large numbers, but it's doubtful that they ALL got caught, either. I don't entirely dismiss the GOP's concerns. They're just overblowing it and until they come up with more than the Heritage stats, I'm truly not that worried about it.

It is VERY frustrating that both the AG and the posters here refuse to back up their statements with actual cases,

Perhaps you should read the OP. He listed actual cases.

Both links I have provided list actual cases.

You must be posting about yourself then. You provide no list of actual cases.

 

[bravoactual]

It's one thing to vote by an absentee ballot, The county sends a card with your name on it and you sign it and send it back.
Then they send the ballot.
In California they just want to send the ballot to a name and address that they have in the database.
That person could be dead, or has moved. Leaves too much for fraud...I don't care how the libs spin it.

In California we also have "Vote Tracker". From the moment you put your V.B.M. in the mail box, drop it off at the Registrar of Voters Office or put in side of the Voting Machine on Election (You can do that in California) your ballot is tracked so the individual voter can know where their V.B.M. is in the system and when it is counted.

Also, when you sign the back of envelope that you use to return your V.M.B., the name on the envelope must match the name on the registration card. Which means that means if your name is "Charles Smith", then that is how the envelope must be signed. Not "Chuck Smith" or "Charlie Smith". if the name does not match the registration form, the ballot is not counted. No Match, No Vote.

IF you so choose, you can also "Surrender" your V.B.M. on Election Day. You go to your polling station, tell the Clerk at the desk you want to "Surrender" your ballot. The Clerk will tear the Envelope and put that envelope in a special bag for "Surrendered Ballots". You will then sign the Voter Register and the Clerk will issue you a new ballot. If you so choose, you can use your V.B.M. as a guide for voting, but you MUST surrender it after voting. And before the howls, a V.B.M., in order to be mailed in MUST be folded before being placed in the envelope. A voting machine will NOT accept a folded ballot.

There is also the voter who shows up at the polls on Election Day, and wants Vote. But on the register, next to the of that voter is printed "Vote By Mail". The person claims they never received a ballot. The voter can be issued a "Provisional Ballot". The Voter must sign the Provisional Ballot register and they will then be issued a ballot. IF the person is trying to pull a fast, they will be arrested. On the other hand, if they did not receive their V.B.M., their Provisional Ballot (Which under California Law must be counted) is added to the tally.

Voter Fraud via V.B.M. is as virtually impossible as in person Voter Fraud, which in the 2016 Election was 0.000002% of all votes cast nationwide

More confirmed mail in vote fraud.................

Twitter claims 'no evidence' of mail-in voter fraud despite numerous convictions since 2016


witter this week slapped a warning label on some of Donald Trump's tweets for the first time, cautioning users that the president's "series of claims about potential voter fraud" were "unsubstantiated," citing "CNN, Washington Post and others" for authority. "Experts say mail-in ballots are very rarely linked to voter fraud," Twitter declared.

In an accompanying "What you need to know" list, the social media giant added that "fact checkers say there is no evidence that mail-in ballots are linked to voter fraud."


In fact, there have been numerous cases of mail-in voter fraud scattered widely across the country over the past four years, evidence that the absentee ballot system is open to at least some voter manipulation, even as many experts and pundits continue to insist otherwise.

According to data compiled by the Heritage Foundation, there have been around three dozen criminal convictions for absentee ballot fraud over the past four years, and those cases are but a small subset of over 200 convictions for various types of voter fraud the conservative organization says have occurred since 2016.

In one case from 2016, Indiana police officer Lowell Colen was convicted of absentee ballot fraud in an attempt to help his father win a city council election. Colen eventually pled guilty to four felony counts of voter fraud, with prosecutors claiming he filled out false registrations and forged numerous signatures.

In 2018, authorities arrested Florida man Bret Warren after they determined he had stolen five absentee ballots and fraudulently voted with them. Warren eventually pled no contest to two charges of false swearing in connection with voting.

Last year, former Gordon, Alabama mayor Elbert Melton was convicted of absentee ballot fraud in a mayoral race he won by just 16 votes.

In 2018, New Mexico authorities indicted Laura Seeds on 13 counts of voter fraud related to her husband's 2016 mayoral race. Seeds was eventually convicted in part for illegally possessing two absentee voter ballots; her husband Robert won the race by two votes.

Thousands of deceased registrants, double registrations

Absentee ballot fraud is just one method of exploiting flaws in the system to perpetrate voting fraud. In some cases, for instance, dead voters have been found to have cast votes in numerous elections, as a local CBS report found in Colorado several years ago. The same phenomenon was discovered in Chicago as well.

The potential for posthumous voter fraud may be more acute in some states than others. The Public Interest Legal Foundation, a voting watchdog group, sent a notification letter to New Jersey's Division of Elections this week informing the state that it had found a total of nearly 12,000 "deceased individuals with an active registration in the State of New Jersey." Roughly half of those, the foundation said, had died eight or more years ago.

Media reports have revealed that numerous deceased residents of New Jersey have in the past received vote-by-mail notices.

The Public Interest Legal Foundation also told New Jersey it found "830 potentially duplicated registrations across state lines with apparent voting credits assigned by election officials in each state for the 2018 General Election." The foundation recently sent similar letters to Virginia and New Mexico.

Cash-for-ballot fraud, 'joke' tampering

Recently, some voter fraud cases have made headlines. Last week, a Democratic party official in Philadelphia pled guilty to a voter-fraud-for-cash scheme there.

Domenick DeMuro, a Democratic ward chairman in that city, admitted that he had "fraudulently stuffed the ballot box by literally standing in a voting booth and voting over and over, as fast as he could, while he thought the coast was clear," the Philadelphia U.S. Attorney's Office said.

DeMuro allegedly had a network of clients who paid him significant sums of money to rig elections.

A mail carrier in Pendleton County, West Virginia, meanwhile, recently admitted to investigators that he altered mail-in voting ballot documents. The U.S. Attorney's Office of the Northern District of West Virginia said in a press release yesterday that it was charging Thomas Cooper, a worker with the U.S. Postal Service, with "attempted election fraud."

An affidavit supplied by that office to Just the News states that last month the Pendleton County Clerk received several absentee mail-in ballot requests "in which the voter’s party-ballot request appeared to have been altered by use of a black-ink pen." On five of the requests, "it appeared that the voters ballot choice was changed from Democrat to Republican

West Virginia Attorney General Investigator Bennie Cogar was assigned to investigate the case, he said in the affidavit, leading both Cogar and U.S. Postal Inspector Todd Phillips to Tommy Cooper, a mail carrier for Pendleton County. "During the interview, Cooper said that 'yes,' he changed the requests that had been placed in the mail," the affidavit states.

Twitter claims 'no evidence' of mail-in voter fraud despite numerous convictions since 2016

According to data compiled by the Heritage Foundation, there have been around three dozen criminal convictions for absentee ballot fraud over the past four years

Out of a population of over 300,000,000?

This is why you want to deny Americans their right to vote>?

I have never said I want to deny anyone’s right to vote. You are a lying sack.

Actions speak louder than words. That is exactly what you want using voter fraud as a strawman.

Since you lied about what I have said, you move on to lying about my "actions".

Cool, I can mock you for that lie too.

Show my actions that prove I want do deny Americans their right to vote.

GO!

That is the practical effect of it.

Paxton? That sleaze ball was previosuly arrested and charged with security fraud. Ken Paxton’s criminal trial has been pending for nearly four years. Here’s a timeline of his legal drama. Only in Texas would they elect an AG with a criminal history of fraud.

Voter Fraud has been Paxton's go to issue. Despite Paxton's many efforts he has failed to find any rampant voter fraud in Texas. When asked by the House of Representatives to show proof of Voter fraud he refused and ran away with his tail between his legs. Texas AG Refuses House Demand for Voter-Fraud Files

Well, I'll give Paxton this. He is an expert on how to commit fraud.

Feel free to disprove all the court cases he has brought, Dummy.

Or, just whine and cry like the little bitch you are.

Taking his words as true, everyone of those people were caught and prosecuted you moron. The Heritage Foundation study you found sites 1,228 cases of voter fraud out of "billions" cast. Get a grip, Nancy. There is no rampant voter fraud expect in the addled brains of Conservatives.

See post #18, Simpleton.

How many instances of voter fraud do you require before wanting to do something about it? Tell us your threshold of corruption.

You're the one making the assertion that voter fraud is rampant. Well prove it. My position is that there are some irregularities in the process. They are caught and prosecuted. It is not a nationwide problem. Your own Heritage Foundation link says it is not a problem. Trump's own Voter Fraud commission found no rampant fraud. You can find instances of it, but show me where it is rampant.

Nostra cannot prove what he knows is a lie.

Feel free to quote my post saying fraud is everywhere.

I will not post what is NOT true. You posted a link without any proof, evidence of Voter Fraud.

YOU fail to provide proof and demand others do for you.

NOPE.

YOU provide your proof, which to date you have not done.

I provided two links with documented vote fraud, moron.

Your TEXAS A.G. link provided no such proof asshole.
