What do most people do when they move? A. They contact the PO to have their mail forwarded and B. They contact banks and CC companies to notify them of the change of address.You post as if you think it's not possible to place safeguards on mail in ballots. Ballots are not like grocery store coupons that anyone can use. They're coded and can be verified by signatures and scanners and are only mailed out to verified addresses of registered voters.If there is significant fraud due to mailed in ballets, a recount will not catch it.and they shouldn't be, but the republicans swear on the signatures.Of course all the signatures were not verified on the tens of millions of mail in ballots.
ACTUAL fraud of any significance will not be detected unless there are checks in the system that will detect it. The bar owner that doesn't card his customers can easily make the claim that his bar doesn't have a problem with under age drinking.You're saying there is POTENTIAL fraud, not that there has been ACTUAL fraud of any significance. Very different animals. Certainly the former is true but so is the later. Making mail-in ballots more restrictive is a solution in search of a problem.
I am thinking to recount TX and FL next time and every time from now on.
Not true. Many households received ballots for past residents and dead people.
One should have to request a ballot. Universal mail in balloting is garbage.
You're wrong. I live in a state where every registered voter gets a mail in ballot. We've been doing it for almost 10 years, and we have no problems with it.
What do most people do when they move? A. They contact the PO to have their mail forwarded and B. They contact banks and CC companies to notify them of the change of address. Registered voters are probably even more responsible as a general rule. So, you are wrong that "many" households receive ballots for former residents or dead people. But what does it matter if a few do when they're coded and a verifiable signature is required. Besides, it's a crime with virtually no upside whatsoever for anyone who decides to break the law with major penalties for people who break the law.
Any fraud is at such a small level that the chances of swinging an election one way or the other is almost nil, especially since the fraud would almost certainly be in both directions.
The real kind of fraud one would have to worry about would originate from within the gov't. So, for example, in a state like GA where most of the election officials are Republicans, it's more likely that the fraud would favor Trump, not Biden. But mail in ballots that employ scanners to count the votes gives more power to the voter and less power to election officials who are monitored in person and by camera on-line. It's like having cameras on bank tellers.
many apt dwellers dont.....and there are lots of them.....
