About 16.4 million mail-in ballots went missing in the 2016 and 2018 elections, data provided to Breitbart News reveals.
The data from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission and the Election Administration and Voting Surveys for 2016 and 2018, provided by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), shows that between the 2016 and 2018 elections, roughly 16.4 million ballots mailed to registered voters went missing.
In the 2018 election, about 42.4 million ballots were mailed to registered voters. Of those mailed, more than one million were undeliverable, more than 430,000 were rejected, and nearly 10.5 million went missing.
The 2016 election showed similar discrepancies. That year, about 41.6 million ballots were mailed to registered voters. Of those mailed, more than 568,000 were undeliverable, nearly 320,000 were rejected, and close to six million went missing.
“Putting the election in the hands of the United States Postal Service would be a catastrophe. In 2018 and 2016, there were 16 million missing and misdirected ballots,” PILF President J. Christian Adams said in a statement. He went on:
These represent 16 million opportunities for someone to cheat. Absentee ballot fraud is the most common; the most expensive to investigate; and can never be reversed after an election. The status quo was already bad for mail balloting. The proposed emergency fix is worse.
Los Angeles County, California, for instance, had nearly 1.4 million mail-in ballots go missing in the 2018 election, while Maricopa County, Arizona saw 408,000 mail-in ballots go missing.

“...I’m sorry but there should be NO Absentee voting allowed except for our Troops and CONFIRMED elderly confined to Nursing Homes. That’s it .... show up to vote or you loose....”
That’s it right there....post of the day. Nail, meet hammer.
I can account for mine in ‘18. It never was delivered to me until two weeks after the election.
How can someone tell if they are Republican or dem ballots?
generalities, they know what areas are predominantly democrat or republican
“there should be NO Absentee voting allowed except for our Troops”
Uniformed, in-service military.
EVERYONE else, show with id and vote.
Sorry PDJT, we love ya, but no mail in ballots to FLA. ( maybe military exemption for you as Commander in Chief)
The only logical thing to do then is to eliminate mail in voting.
Agreed. How could those people be confirmed to be such? A Doctor's letter? A multi-witnessed and notarized letter to the Secretary of State in each State? Ideas?
I’m not going to go as far as to say we lose, but I have said a few times here that if there was ever going to be an effort to prevent fraud in 2020 it had to begin DJT’s first day in office with Voter ID. It would have taken, at the very least, 30-40 months of going through the courts and instituting a system to implement it. Obviously too late now. All we can hope for is to preserve status quo. Not a good position to be in.
is marijuana legal in OK?
mail in ballots are a disaster and filled with voter fraud.
There should be ONE day voting in person on a Weekend, and absentee ballots for those bed ridden, over seas, or disabled.
No, there are tons of liberals that work in the post office.
I propose a reasonable _model_ of the result; use 50% of the value being used for criminal purposes. That is 8 million Democratic/Socialist false votes.
In our system answering that 'how?' is a job for the legislative branch. Ideally the answer would include some due process for borderline cases. And with any judicial role limited to parameters provided by the legislation.
America can not tolerate the potential or perception of corrupt elections. Whether it be ballot harvesting, corrupt machines, ineligible voters, corrupt vote count, etc. Voter ID is a fundamental function of honest elections.
The Dems want a bad economy and illegal elections and illegal voters along with it.
NO MORE MAIL IN BALLOTS!!!
Except for strictly enforced excuses.
First, don’t respond saying Trump has no strength in this situation :)
Second, the guy is NOT DUMB.
Nor is he afraid to speak out and make moves.
There’s still time.
He is not just going to let this go.
He’s already mentioned it.
Do I know how he will stop it? No
Maybe he doesn’t know yet.
But let’s keep positive about it now anyway.
We elected a shrewd guy.
We elected a VERY VERY shrewd guy!!!
