4Chan Users Claim to Have Found Way to Easily Change People’s Voter Registration and Cancel Ballots Online in Oregon and Washington
GP ^ | 10/18/20 | Cassandra Fairbanks

Claims from users on the anonymous messageboard 4Chan went viral on Saturday evening, as people said they discovered a way that ballots can be cancelled online in Washington — and that an Oregon voter’s registration can be changed, using just the voter’s name and date of birth.

The claims were that they uncovered a vulnerability that could make way for large scale systemic voter fraud.

Their exploit allegedly worked to change registration for voters who are in the military, overseas or disabled. The claims rapidly went viral across social media — but some (or all) of the assertions making their way around Twitter and Facebook may be misleading or false.

These are some of the screenshots that went viral:

It seems as though the website will allow people to create a ballot for someone else, using just their name and date of birth, but it must be printed, signed and returned. Additionally, the form that it creates, at least in Oregon, requires a valid ID number or copy of another accepted form of identification.

UPDATE: Washington state does as well.

Portland Tribune reporter Zane Sparling tweeted that “the ‘mark my ballot’ button is NOT the same as actually voting. It creates a form that absentee voters must submit to the elections office.” He added, “simply clicking these buttons does not create a vote. The form must be submitted by fax or email, and the form does not work unless you have been granted absentee ballot status by an elections official."

Oregon’s voting rules do require a valid state ID number or the last four digits of your social security number in order to return an absentee ballot.

However, people on social media who were digging into the alleged vulnerability also claimed that by starting the process of changing a person’s..

I live in Washington and there is no electronic voting. We get mail-in paper ballots. I lived in Oregon at the turn of the century, and they also used mail in paper ballots.

So the only way they could change the vote is they hack the counting machines.

What they seem to be doing is requesting a ballot in somebody else’s name and voting for them.

Thanks.

Then this would be be only for new registrations, as our ballots have already arrived in the mail.

The money quote from the article:

“However, people on social media who were digging into the alleged vulnerability also claimed that by starting the process of changing a person’s registration online in Washington, it cancels any ballot that the person has already cast.

We have not yet been able to confirm or debunk this claim.”

See the screen grabs below that paragraph!

Have the media come out and said this is a "vast right wing conspiracy theory with no basis in reality?"

They will.

That’s what it sounds like to me too. What the article describes also sounds like you have to have a voter ID number as well, and it’s not The actual vote, but the ballot that you then submit.

Now this may enable a person to submit one in another person’s name...maybe...

My Oregon relatives won’t have to worry about this. They will all be voting D anyway.

Here’s another excellent Purim-themed flipped over story trump concept.

“Venahafoch hu” by *casting*... doubt.

Generated by “4chan”.

Lucky!

Here in MA, voter ID might as well be public record. I have voter ID’s for around 60,000 voters in my district. Anybody that runs for office or runs a campaign or even requests a list of registered voters (pay a small fee to your local Town Clerk) can have everybody’s voter IDs.

CT resident here—the real threat of voter fraud in this state is that there are many (six figures?) registered voters who are dead or no longer live at the current address.

I received a dead person’s letter authorizing the dead person to request a ballot, so I “know” the lists have not been purged of ineligible voters.

What would have to happen to cheat would be a corrupt election official in the town to accept the ballot from the dead person.

In CT we have plenty of corrupt officials—dime a dozen, especially in the big (D) cities.

Having dead on voter rolls is clearly problematic, and I can say so from an operational perspective.

In campaigns with limited funds (always the case for R’s in MA), you hate to pay for postage to send stuff to the dead. So, when you get partisan voting data (ie, what ballot someone took at a primary), you also request the latest voter registry, so that you can weed out some of the dead from mailings.

In MA, all this data comes from state-based databases. Removing the dead is a quantum process (updates at primary and general election times), and lags actual death by a significant delay. Hard to quantify, but enough of a delay for nefarious ‘rats to watch the obits, and match them up with voter registration lists.

Only allow voting at booth no electronic or mail in voted voter ID required all states vote on same day.

The election rigging process is out of hand seems like the statement of if voting worked they wouldn’t let you do it has come true.

“I live in Washington and there is no electronic voting.”

From the moment it is entered into a computer then your vote is subject to any form of digital manipulation. Even at the state level.

True, but Oregon and Washington have paper ballots that can be hand counted and used to compare to the computerized data.

This seems to be about exploiting the “absentee” balloting, which is not the same as our mail in voting, because it allows you to print and fax your ballot to your elections office.

Our regular ballots arrive 4 days ago and the system to change addresses should be non functional at this point because the deadline to change registrations is past.

I suspect the nimrods in Clarno’s office didn’t get it done in a timely fashion. No public employees are working very hard at their jobs during the plandemic.

We’ve been waiting 4+ months for DMV to switch our car plates to our new car. At this rate the tags will expire before that happens.

The GP article has a picture of a ballot return envelope from Portland. It has a blue stripe at the top and bottom.

I live in southern Oregon and my ballot has a red stripe on it. Makes me wonder, is that county-specific, or is it blue for the Jackass party and Red for the Rs.

If the return ballot envelopes are color coded for party, that leads to all kinds of problems with undelivered R ballots.

Oregon is a vote-by-mail only state. I always drive down to the courthouse and deposit mine in person, but not everyone does that.
