Idaho Code 34-1005 says the clerk “shall safely keep and preserve all absent electors’ ballots unopened until the time prescribed for delivery to the judges in accordance with this act.”
Idaho Code 34-1007 says “On receipt of such absent elector’s ballot or ballots, the officer receiving them shall forthwith enclose the same, unopened in a carrier envelope endorsed with the name and official title of such officer and the words: “absent electors’ ballot to be opened only at the polls.” He shall hold the same until the delivery of the official ballots to the judges of election of the precinct in which the elector resides and shall deliver the ballot or ballots to the judges with such official ballots.”
Idaho Code 34-1008 says, “Between the opening and closing of the polls on such election day the judges of election of such precinct shall open the carrier envelope only, announce the absent elector’s name, and in the event they find such applicant to be a duly registered elector of the precinct and that he has not heretofore voted at the election, they shall open the return envelope and remove the ballot envelopes and deposit the same in the proper ballot boxes and cause the absent elector’s name to be entered on the poll books the same as though he had been present and voted in person. The ballot envelope shall not be opened until the ballots are counted.”
“and in the event they find such applicant to be a duly registered elector of the precinct and that he has not heretofore voted at the election,”
Ah a big step to skip is it not? Why is it that fraud is so easy in the country anymore.
