America’s Hidden Voting Epidemic? Mail Ballot Failure
heritage foundation ^ | may 2020 | Spakovsky

A new report has revealed how vulnerable voting by mail can be. It should alarm all who are pushing for all-mail elections: Based on federal data from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, millions of mail ballots were never counted as completed votes.

According to the commission’s 2016 report, for example, more mail ballots were misdirected and unaccounted for than the margin of votes between Hillary Clinton and Donald J. Trump. She had 2.9 million more votes, yet 6.5 million ballots were misdirected or unaccounted for by the states. In other words, for every vote that Hillary won over the eventual president nationally, more than twice as many mail ballots disappeared or went to the wrong addresses.

The data demonstrate the danger of putting the presidential election into the hands of the U.S. Postal Service, as well as the problems with inaccurate and out-of-date voter registration lists.

An analysis by the Public Interest Legal Foundation of federal election survey data draws a startling picture for any policymaker or stressed bureaucrat daring to look: 32 million mail ballots effectively disappeared, went to the wrong house, or were rejected since 2012. This includes all-mail voting states like Oregon and Washington, as well as absentee ballots in other states.

Somehow I am under the firm belief that the Russian Hoax was implemented not to get Trump out of office or prevent him from gaining office. In the lead up to the last general election, countless organizations like ACORN run amok and were being shut down while at the same time those on the left were also targeting legit right wing organizations.

A little background, in 2000, the Florida Secretary of State, Katherine Harris (I believe), was the only one who could certify the election results from Florida. After her certifying the election, Soros set upon his SoS campaign to turn the majority of Secretary of State's to do his bidding. In the next election ballot harvesting was tried to see what could be gotten away with (ballots found in trunks, in warehouses, etc). Each subsequent election, this was tweaked until what we have today legislation making ballot harvesting legal. This can be seen in the election that turned Republican wins into losses overnight in California. Katie Hill was a beneficiary of that,

I have long said that this was never about Trump but it was about anyone who beat the Hildabeast that did not have a D behind their name. Had Yeb won, this would have still happened. Had Cruz won, this would have still happened. The fact of the matter, the Russian Hoax was planned to be carried out through the insertion of the Republican's name into the fake documents. The interrogators would have attacked what ever cabinet member and campaign person was involved with the candidate for President. The outrage isn't about Trump, it never has been. The outrage is that the left did not win the election.

Getting back to the mail in ballots. The Russian Hoax is part one of disenfranchising the vote of Americans. Why would the Russian hoax play a large part into this? Through this hoax, less people now trust that our computer networks are secure. If you know anything about the security of our inter and intranets, you wouldn't trust them either. However nothing like exacerbating the issue to put the fear of god into everyone with the mantra that the Russians were hacking our systems and thus changing the vote to be in favor of the Republican. Notice I said Republican there not Trump. Remember this is an insert <> type of campaign to disenfranchise the American voters. All because Al Gore Lost the election in 2000. Social Media, predicated on the privacy revelations coming out in a negative light, also played into the hands of this campaign with Russian ads said to influence American voters.

The next step was to make it so the average voter across the spectrum want to mail-in their ballot. For one I wasn't sure how this one was going to play out. While most think this about destroying the economy and a part of that is true. It is to put the vote into the hands of the Post Office workers around the nation. Think of why the house wanted to bail out the USPS. There is a connection here far greater than people are willing to admit. However, one will never be able to definitively say this is why the USPS was given a bailout.

How convenient will it become to blame lost ballots that are later found inside some post office. I mean we hear of mail getting delivered some 50 years later. So it is not out the bounds of reality that this would occur. And how easy it would it be to replace one for one the "lost ballots" with the real ones with the actual voter's intent.

There are backup plans like the Popular vote legislation being passed but that is being challenged as voter disenfranchisement and circumventing the Constitution. A legal loophole if you will which has never been tested by SCOTUS.

So mail in ballots disenfranchised 6.5M voters in 2016 and 32M since 2012.
I assume Dems are outraged.
Just kidding.

So they assume that 6.5 M x 5 = 32.5?

No way is turnout for odd year elections anywhere close to turnout for even year or Presidential elections.

It’s the voter’s responsibility to change his registration when he moves.

How many of those 6.5 M were not counted because they were fraudulent? (The signatures didn’t match or something similar)?
