The law requires only that the person who puts it in the mail to put their name on the outside. That would identify the corrupt vote manufacturers, because they don't do it by 1s and 2s. It would be interesting to see what an honest election looks like in some democratic strongholds.
A friend of mine ran for "county Judge" rather like a county mayor in one county in Texas. The local democratic party held a barbecue at the "traditionally Black college" in the county, and got nearly all the students, most of which were from out of state, or had previously voted in another county, to fill out ballots.
Surprise! the Democratic state attorney general didn't care to investigate, inspite of the 100 signed affidavits that the locals produced. The Democrat candidate won, still pale from being released after serving time for his felony.
I always laugh at how the threads point out how machines can be hacked by several contortionists. We have such a rich tradition of corruption, I don't think we can have a failproof system. In my lifetime the dems have been very creative.

I live in West Texas and would really like to know of which county you speak.
