28 Million Mail-In Ballots Went Missing in Last Four Elections

Between 2012 and 2018, 28.3 million mail-in ballots remain unaccounted for, according to data from the federal Election Assistance Commission. The missing ballots amount to nearly one in five of all absentee ballots and ballots mailed to voters residing in states that do elections exclusively by mail.

States and local authorities simply have no idea what happened to these ballots since they were mailed – and the figure of 28 million missing ballots is likely even higher because some areas in the country, notably Chicago, did not respond to the federal agency’s survey questions. This figure does not include ballots that were spoiled, undeliverable, or came back for any reason.

Although there is no evidence that the millions of missing ballots were used fraudulently, the Public Interest Legal Foundation, which compiled the public data provided from the Election Assistance Commission, says that the sheer volume of them raises serious doubts about election security.

These questions are particularly relevant as the COVID-19 pandemic is forcing states across the country to rapidly expand vote-by-mail operations in an election year. Democratic Sens. Amy Klobuchar and Ron Wyden have proposed the Natural Disaster and Emergency Ballot Act of 2020, a bill that would allow every eligible voter the opportunity to vote by mail, regardless of state laws governing mail-in ballots.

We know this fraud exists on a huge scale but, as it is most prominent in RAT controlled enclaves, and since the feds refuse to enforce the law in any meaningful way (in RAT controlled enclaves), it's going to be like dope shops operating in the open.

Nothing will change. Not unless the feds decide to do their job. Which, they won't. Since all alphabet agencies are a part of the swamp. Viz, they're dedicated to harming POTUS Trump. Nothing else matters. To them.

I am afraid you are right.

Could the President’s people not file for injunctions against the mail in vote plans for each state already lined up to vote by mail?

Probably in one of the mail bags in the back room of the post office is the letter with the 50 bucks by old buddy said he mailed me.

After January, 2021 they will “find” millions of ballots which the SCOTUS will rule are too late to be considered for counting in the already certified election.

I remember during the Bush-Gore campaign that mail bags of military ballots from navy ships were declared void because they weren’t postmarked by the ships.

I can see a plan for specially marked mail in ballots to be burned up by microwaving the batches like was done in 2001 with the anthrax scare.

They could blame it on the USPS.

I suspect the USPS is currently sanitizing mail in some fashion due to noted 12-20 day delivery.

In Florida you can request a ballot over the Internet. Then you can check online to see its status. They will tell you when it was sent to you, when they received it from you and whether it was accepted. If they reject it because your signature did not match then they will let you correct your signature.

If they include primaries I can account for one. I had my father apply for an absentee ballot fron his nursing home. It was mailed to his house but the Communist Chinese Plague hit and I couldn’t go to help him fill it out.

Well 28 million missing ballots means fewer ballots that the Democrats have to manufacture.

More and more and more often we are seeing Democrats overturn elections in the courts with manufactured ballots and shady standards by which to judge the ballots.
