At least NJ and California (Dim run) had the same change in procedures this year - automatic sending of mail in ballots to anyone who asked for a mail in ballot in 2016, whether or not the person is asking for one this time. Then such persons had a deadline to notify the county they did not want to use the mail in ballot. If they failed to notify the county and then went to their regular polling places on election day, they’d only be allowed to vote with a provisional ballot.
Guess what the corrupt county officials then know AFTER the polls close?
They know who did not notify the county that they did not want the mail in ballot that was sent to them, and they know if they did not return a mail in ballot and they know if they did not make out a provisional ballot at the polling place. The sum of that knowledge is registered voters who if they voted should be in the provisional ballots, but are not - unless a provisional ballot for them can be “found”.
In the highly contested races, ALL “provisional ballots” must have signatures checked against the local precint books, by persons who are not part of the local precint or even part of the county, but are independent auditors hired for the examination.
Wow, the voting for people that didn’t show up upon the close of the polling place to the public used to require knowing the people in the neighborhood. Then A corrupt election judge could vote for the 96 year old known to be bedridden and barely sentient. Now it’s all in the data on hand. We have got to get Republicans to be election judges, even in the most all-Dem neighborhoods, actually especially in those neighborhoods.
