Not that I am not concerned about mail vote fraud, but isnt this a primary ballot in the posted article? Primary ballots would be by party. Generals should not have this ‘feature’. Help me if I am missing something obvious.

Let’s hope that is the case and not a subversive method of tainting the election in November.........

In Missouri, we almost always have other issues that are on all ballots, such as the Medicare expansion measure on today's ballot. If they tossed a lot of R ballots, the measure would certainly pass. They can also pre-dispose a primary winner if they know which ballots to toss-or substitute?

It does not matter whether a Primary or a Regular Election. All ballots need to be free of any party markings. Otherwise they no longer can be considered secret, and they can easily be identified and thrown in the trash.

We have been voting by “absentee” ballot in California for many years. None of the return envelopes have political party identity markings of any kind. Only when the ballot envelopes are opened in the county registrar of voters office where the ballots are run through a computer, can anyone ascertain voting information.

Thanks Magnum44. We need to maintain our sanity and clarity.
