5% rejection rate for Black mail-in ballots in NC (Now you know why Democrats have reversed course on VBM)

Ballot rejection rates in NC by race: 1) Whites-----2% 2) Hispanics--3% 3) Blacks-----5%

And now you know why Democrats are reversing course and encouraging their voters to vote "in-person." Considering that Blacks, Hispanics, and young voters are the most likely to screw up their absentee ballots (no signatures, no witness signatures, incorrect address, mismatching signatures, etc.), the Democrats could lose significant numbers of votes among their base.

Interestingly, even though black/latino mail-in ballots are being rejected at higher rates, overall DEMOCRAT mail-in ballots in NC are being rejected at a slightly LOWER rate than Republican mail-in ballots. This suggests that the white Democrats who are voting via mail are OLDER (and probably more conservative). This ballot-rejection rate for mail-ins will cost the Democrats a substantial number of votes in heavily African-American/Latino states. Discuss...

Southern states, as part of the Voting Act Rights, typically are required to note “race” on voter registration data. So, yes, the voter file can tell you who has voted, their age, race, sex, voting history, etc. It is public information as to who has voted and their registration data. It is also public information as to whose ballots were rejected. In many cases, the voter will be notified that their ballot has been rejected and can cure the deficiency, but a majority typically do not fix the issues.

Democratic voters don’t read the instructions good.

This blog did not put “age” data up for voters. Here is my educated guess: If black voters (and to a small extent latino voters in NC) are the base of the Democrat Party and their votes are being rejected 5:2 as opposed to whites...and Democrats as a whole are having their ballots rejected at a slightly LOWER rate than Republicans, that tells me that the WHITE Democrats who are voting by mail are OLDER and more educated. Older, southern Democrats tend to be far more conservative and Trump-friendly than the young white Democrats. In other words, if very few white Democrats are having their ballots rejected, it means that there are a dearth of 18 to 29 year old whites voters in the mail pile, and a disproportionate number of old white Democrats who have experience voting and don’t make mistakes when filling in their ballots.

What’s a “Black” mail-in ballot?

Aha! You mean a “black” mail-in ballot.

Crusaders, ho!

I can understand certain voters needing to use mail in ballots. But
I think people should vote in person either during early voting or
on election day if at all possible.

LOL. The DemonRATs have purposefully ruined education, especially in the black school areas. They thought that keeping blacks stupid would make them easier to control. Now these semi-literate blacks can’t fill out a ballot correctly because they can’t even read the instructions. This is called karma.

I follow that. Also, Millennials have had issues doing paper mail, at least at colleges. A great many have no stamps (probably have never bought any) and don’t know where a mailbox is. Seriously.

An entire generation has been cheated out of an education, and if you are too stupid to vote, you are too stupid to vote.....

Just goes to prove how important it is for democrats to have ‘facilitators’ to ensure some voters get the assistance they need to vote properly. Perhaps they should just mail the ballots to the local democrat campaign offices where they can be easily and properly filled out.

Democratic voters cannot read the instructions.
Democratic voters cannot write the instructions.
Democratic voters cannot follow the instructions any better.

Guess it might be helpful to teach English in school, somewhere along the line.

Maybe they could set aside an hour a week or something, in the middle of teaching humanism, sex-ed, LGBTQ classes, unborn babies are oppressive evil caused by men classes, climate change, global socialist supremacy, and liberty/America/Christians are cancer to be eliminated as soon as possible...

Dems are realizing mail-in ballots might be as “racist” as requiring ID at the voting booth.

Ever attempt a balanced political discussion with a Millennial?

Ever attempt to get a Millennial to admit “I don’t know.”?
