D. I predict that after November 4, 2014, there will not be one elected Republican or Conservative in the entire universe.
This procedure is intended to prevent duplicate voting.
It does not prevent 10-20 names from being registered at the same address and does nothing to establish whether they are eligible voters (or even real people).
There is a signature block on the mailing envelope for the voter to sign. Supposedly these signatures are verified by the clerks at the election mail receiving centers. In practice this almost never happens as there are too many incoming mailers. They do check off the serial numbers for received mailers and in this county you can see the receipt status online for every voter.
The ballots themselves do not have serial numbers on them and once they are removed from the mailer, they cannot be traced back to the voter.
Anyone can register online and get a mail-in ballot. Late registrants are supposed to include a photocopy of their driver's license or other identification in the mailer when they return their ballots to the counting center.
The safest means to "Fraud the Vote" is by encouraging volunteers to harvest and vote the ballots of relatives and friends who are no longer in the area. This is what Mark Udall's campaign workers have been caught doing. This fraud is almost impossible to detect once the votes have been mailed, unless the volunteers are stupid enough to brag about their activities on Twitter or Facebook.
The most reliable way to "Fraud the Vote" is the classic method to have election clerks introduce extra ballots into the mail-in box.
This can be detected rather easily when the number of votes in a precinct exceeds the number of registered voters. This happened in Colorado (Hinsdale County) during the 2012 elections. A more subtle indicator is when the number of votes in a precinct exceeds the number of ballots issued in that precinct. This happened in several dozen precincts of Denver and Boulder counties in the 2012 election.
This indicator shows up in all Democrat-dominated states and all swing states.
A more expensive method to "Fraud the Vote" is to register tens of thousands of imaginary voters, and seed that list with a few thousand names that will be voted by agents. The primary indicator for this is multiple voters registered at the same address (more than 10), and addresses which are not residences.
This indicator is showing up in all states.
The least reliable method of vote fraud is to gimmick electronic or mechanical voting machines. It can be done in ways that are hard to detect, but it always leaves traces. Those traces lead directly back to the technicians who configure the machines, and to their bosses.
This indicator is obvious in Illinois. Since nothing is ever done about it, and it would be easy to track down the purpetrators, the elections in that state must be considered completely fraudulent.
In Colorado, almost no one actually ever used the electronic voting machines. This makes them unsuitable for fraud, since there weren't enough votes counted on them to make a critical difference.
It does seem like the old ways are the best ways....:(
Well, as a prediction, that’s absurd.
As a sarcastic joke, fell flat.
Normally......
I liked it. I do my humor for ME, not for YOU GUYS.
Easy, folks. All they’re bragging about is mailing out ballots. Let’s wait and see what kind of returns they get, and for which candidates.
Sometimes our side is as aggressive as the other in stirring up the base. Part of the political GOTV game I guess.
How many of them have to be delivered to the cemetery?
Actually, the way it works in South Dallas is that they follow the mailman around so that they can make sure that the ballot is cast correctly.
Nope. I don’t believe it. No way. They are MUCH too intelligent for that.
