While many comments in the report indicate a number of questionable circumstances in the votes, the following comments would seem to me to indicate the possibility that the party machine was working the "absentee" ballot process to tip the balance AGAINST Greene.

"According to Ludwig, of the state’s 46 counties, half have a disparity of greater than 10 percentage points between the absentee and election day ballots."

“The election day ballots all favor Mr. Greene. We don’t know what it means,” Ludwig said in an interview. “We did significantly better on absentees than Election Day, which is according to the mathematicians, quite significant. The other reason is, it didn’t happen in any other races on the ballot.”

In Lancaster County, Rawl won absentee ballots over Greene by a staggering 84 percent to 16 percent margin; but Greene easily led among Election Day voters by 17 percentage points.

Inordinate absentee ballot surges are usually NOT the province of fringe, outsiders. They are usually the workings of the big party machines.

I believe you’re correct, ballot fraud is much easier with the absentees.
