How Can Mail-In Voting Be ‘Secure’ When Postal Theft Is Rampant?
The Federalist ^ | 8/7/23 | Shawn Fleetwood

Posted on 08/08/2023 7:47:06 AM PDT by CFW

Democrats’ deceptive talking point that universal mail-in voting is completely “safe” and “secure” is collapsing as postal theft becomes rampant throughout the country.

Within the last week alone, CBS News Chicago released several articles detailing a series of incidents involving mail theft and crime throughout the Windy City. On July 31, for instance, the outlet reported blue drop-off mailboxes in Frankfort and Orland Park “were cut open by thieves,” with local law enforcement advising residents to “monitor their financial accounts or credit profiles for fraudulent activity.”

On the same day, CBS News Chicago revealed it obtained data from the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) purportedly showing that the agency “hadn’t been keeping track of arrow key thefts until 2021” and “hadn’t made a single arrest for an arrow-key-related theft between 2020 and March 2023.” For context, arrow keys are used to open blue drop-off boxes and larger mailboxes found in apartment complexes or condos. An official with the U.S. Postal Inspectors, USPS’s law enforcement arm, claimed he felt such information “might not be 100 percent correct.”

The Post Office is DIRTY and was in on the 2020 election fraud

The biggest problem is the mailing out of ballots that are not requested by a voter during the current election year.

Signature match should be done by FEC tested, approved and registered means. Matches not approved should be subject to bipartisan and judicial scrutiny.

Date of birth verification is easy to do.

Carriers should carry invalidating punches they should be required to promptly use on undeliverable ballot mailings they collect.

When there are more mail-in votes counted than were sent out, it can't.
When anyone can mail in a vote without having to show their face, it can't.
When mules can drop off mail-in votes in bulk in clear violation of existing rules and they are counted anyway, it can't.
When you don't have to show proof of citizenship or eligibility, it can't.
When you can cast votes in the name of demented patients in nursing homes, old relatives, non-voters or dead people, it can't.
When postal workers can throw away votes they suspect are from republicans, it can't.
When there is absolutely no chain of custody record for mail-in votes, it can't.

My former post office had a known problem where checks mailed at the inside drop box were being stolen, washed, forged, and fraudulently cashed. Clearly inside jobs.

Yet mailed ballots are secure?

Another reason I am glad I have moved. And the people at the new post office are very good from what I can tell.

Hi.

“The Post Office is DIRTY and was in on the 2020 election fraud”

Maybe that’s how they delivered 4 million ballots between 3am and 4am the next day?

“The Post Office is DIRTY and was in on the 2020 election fraud”.

They are just another branch of the democrat party. I suspect that mail-in votes from areas known to be heavily Republican voters often are the ones to be found dumped on the side of roadways or are otherwise misplaced in order to never arrive at their destination.

“France banned absentee voting in 1975 because of massive fraud in Corsica, where postal ballots were stolen or bought and voters cast multiple votes. Mail-in ballots were used to cast the votes of dead people.”

Yes.

The new ploy——”Boxes containing mail-in votes were stolen at gunpoint. The postal employee was released by the gunmen.
The ballots were from the suburban region known to be a GOP stronghold. This theft concerned the USPS as it is the fifth such robbery of ballots being transferred.”

“During the 2017 cantonal elections in Oberwalliser a 31-year old man was constantly stealing postal ballots from the mailboxes and forging them afterwards. He managed to forge around 190 mail-in ballots altogether. After the investigation, it turned out that he was a former member of SVP - Swiss People’s Party of Switzerland. He was sentenced to twelve months in prison by the Brig district court and had to pay a 2,000 SFr fine.”

Do NOT use exterior mail drop boxes. They are routinely being ripped off. Without getting into details, we had mail stolen from one, and what we heard from many postal employees while the theft was investigated would dissuade anyone from ever having faith in the mail. Again, if you must mail something, walk into the post office to drop it off.

‘The biggest problem is the mailing out of ballots that are not requested by a voter during the current election year.’

if the pubbies were capable of winning the popular vote in any given presidential election, everyone on this forum would be all in for mail in voting, just like the dems are...

but since the pubbies can’t do so, their only tactical response can be to retard turnout, just as the dems tactical approach is to increase it...

as with just about any situation in life, whether it is good or bad just ask ‘cui bono?’ Who benefits? and going a step further, it behooves the pubbies to make some tough decisions, as mail in otin is here to stay...

The targeting of mail carriers has become a major problem over the last few years. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the government did NOTHING when rioters burned down two post offices in Minneapolis in 2020, along with numerous mail trucks. Has ANY of those criminals been arrested, not as far as I know. You can bet that NO ONE will ever be charged with a federal offense even if they are caught.

During the Newsome recall, my wife and I voted in person. We took our mail-in ballots to the polling place, where they were scanned, and the woman who took mine, wrote void across the ballot. They scanned my wife’s, and it came back invalid, they messed with it for several minutes before they finally gave her a ballot and had her sign the roll, I was done voting before she even approached a voting booth. The poll worker told my wife that had she voted by mail. Her vote would not have counted.

Right. It can't be. And that is exactly why the Democrats champion mail-in voting.

Never attribute anything high-minded to the Party of Hate and Evil.

That way, a postal employee can steal your mail, instead of some amateur.
