To Restore Election Integrity, End Mail-In Vote Fraud
American Thinker.com ^ | November 22, 2020 | Bert Peterson

In the recent presidential election, Wisconsin had a high turnout, 72.3 percent, of which Joseph Biden took 49.6 percent — 250,000 more votes than Hillary Clinton in 2016 — and enough to win. For a candidate whose rallies virtually no one attended, and whose political party, in response to recent rioting and looting, was passive, that's pretty good. Or is it?

The answer to that may depend on the kind of ballots that were cast — whether they were cast in person or through the mail. Frank Miele describes the process of the first:

[Y]ou first make an active choice to vote, confirm your identity as a registered voter to a poll worker, then mark your ballot privately but in the presence of other people, and finally hand it off to a poll worker who scans it directly into a vote-counting machine while you watch. In other words, you establish your legal right to vote and have a secure chain of custody of your ballot until it is scanned, which you yourself [and you alone] participate in.

Adam Liptak of the N.Y. Times reports on a portion of mail-in voting:

The [election] board tossed out some ballots because they arrived without the signature required on the outside of the return envelope. It rejected one that said "see inside" where the signature should have been. And it debated what to do with ballots in which the signature on the envelope did not quite match the one in the county's files.

"This 'r' is not like that 'r,'" Judge Augustus D. Aikens Jr. said, suggesting that a ballot should be rejected.

Ion Sancho, the elections supervisor here, disagreed. "This 'k' is like that 'k,' " he replied, and he persuaded his colleagues to count the vote.

That should read “end mail in voting”.Fraud is a standard feature of mail in voting so it cannot be allowed to exist in any form or to any degree.

Amen. As long as we’re going to get 30 days to vote, there is no excuse for not voting in person unless you in the military serving overseas or in a nursing home. And, even then, those ballots should include fingerprints to prevent multiple votes.

“To Restore Election Integrity, End Mail-In Vote Fraud”

No, we end all mail-in and early voting period, except perhaps for military, expatriates and certain absentee status ballots. Other than that, all voting should be in-person ID-verified voting.

The practice of automatic mail out is the biggest problem.

Mail in voting is in itself defacto fraud.

It’s not voter fraud!!!! it’s top down election rigging.
I demand to see punishment meted out judiciously.
Otherwise who knows what happens

Voting procedures need to keep to the KISS principle.

Everyone votes by marking a paper ballot that is submitted at a polling station.

Everyone leaves their thumb print on the voter roll after voting.

Ballot counting machines are not networked.

The only technology we should consider at this time is to have thumb prints scanned before voting to ensure no double voting, non-citizen voting, etc. is occurring.

It may be too late. Harris / Biden and the DNC will undo the little election integrity we have left now. They are working to dismantle the Constitution and freedom. Soviet-style elections are critical to their long term tyrannical victory.

No one could dream up such an outrageous scheme without nefarious intentions. How this got masterminded in the states is sickening. But, like everything else, once it gets out there, it gains momentum. Reversing it will be considered voter suppression, with a boat load of super-smart lawyers to argue in its favor.

Any forged signature is likely to have one similar letter to the real thing. If that is the standard, then signature matching is completely useless.

Bingo. And anyone who tries to push back will be accused of voter suppression.

It is my understanding that State Legislatures control the Voting Laws. If true, why doesn’t Michigan, Wisconsin and PA with Republican Legislatures vote to eliminate Mail in Voting except for verified Absentee Ballots?

Voters rolls need to be purged on a regular basis.

Let us say every ten years same as census.

Even if it appears someone has been voting they should be require to re-register in person with id.
