More of an opportunity for cheating and fraud than the current system, and you know which party specializes in that.
And what about voters who are unable to sign their own names? I have heard of 'Rats organizing votes from nursing homes; it has happened.
“And what about voters who are unable to sign their own names? I have heard of ‘Rats organizing votes from nursing homes; it has happened.”
From an article I recently wrote about mail ballots:
Fraud in nursing homes: As an example, let’s say the person running the nursing home is a rabid Democrat or Republican, and he/she has a building full of patients who have some form of slightly diminished mental capacity or they can think fairly well but they are used to following the orders of the administrator. The administrator or someone the administrator tells to do this, goes to each patient and “helps” them fill out the ballot but they actually told/showed the patients what circles to fill in. The administrator or person he/she is using to do this, signs the green envelope as the assistant. All those ballot envelopes have that one name on them as the assistant. What is the law? An assistant may help only one person unless the assistant is related to the others the assistant helps. Well, it is most doubtful the assistant is related to say, 100 patients in the nursing home – that doesn’t happen.
Also, remember the law that says an assistant has to sign and print his/her name AND print the address of the assistant. People who do this illegal act, “helping” numerous people, don’t know the law, and they seem to always fail there, leaving off required information. They just want to get the job over with as soon as possible and don’t know jack about election law and that’s why they get caught.
The Early Voting Ballot Board tosses out all the ballots that are signed by the assistant because there is more than one or two if related, and tosses ballots where the assistant didn’t sign/print his/her name and print his/her address. There go the fraudulent ballots as the board can’t prove the voter him/herself actually filled out that ballot since the “assistant” broke the law. Those ballots violate the law and must be rejected.
