Error and fraud an issue as absentee voting rises

[Vambram]

In 2012, Even the New York Times warned of errors and fraud with Absentee Ballots

This article from Adam Liptak in the New York Times from 2012 could have been written by the Crime Prevention Research Center (emphasis added). You won’t find an article like that now in the …

I believe that this information is very important and interesting.
What say you?

Meh…..

Meh…..

Are you implying that you have 100% trust in America's voting and election counting systems?

You need to use a better source, Mr. Scaremonger.

 

[Vambram]

Did you read the article and also the New York Times article which it sourced, Mr. Insulter.

The liberal New York Times admitted in 2012 the problems with Mail in ballots and voting. Yet you believe it ain't a problem worthy of concern. That is an intriguing opinion you appear to believe.

Shouldn't it be "unfounded allegations of errors and fraud rise as absentee ballots increase?"

The election deniers have an abysmal record for honesty. Every allegation government has investigated has been found to be frivolous.

We vote entirely by mail-in ballots in my state. Works great.

There's a lot of scare mongering and opinions in that article, but very little actual fact.

A couple of questions:

Compared to in-person ballots, are absentee/mail-in ballots statistically more likely to have errors or result in fraud? If so, to what degree?

Do states which permit universal absentee/mail-in ballots have statistically higher degrees of voter fraud than states that have no or limited absentee/mail-in ballots?

If there is a higher rate of voter fraud via absentee/mail-in ballots, is it outcome determinative? Would reverting to only in-person voting have any impact on the actual outcome.

Error and Fraud at Issue as Absentee Voting Rises (Published 2012)

Nationwide, mailed ballots now account for nearly 20 percent of votes, yet such ballots are more likely to be compromised, and contested, than those cast in person, statistics show.

I "like" how they dig around for evidence against and find one stray article in the NY times from a dozen years ago. (Can't read it, paywalled.) It sounds like a lot of fear mongering.

I remember this. The question is whether they came up with a solution. This can affect both sides.

And then completely ignore the fact that the vast majority of actual voter and election fraud that has been found was committed by their own party members and representatives.

I can't believe that the rightists think that people who lean towards the Democratic party, some progressive ideologies or just a brain to critically think that uttering the words "New York Times" must mean the story is legitimate, accurate or newsworthy.

 

[KCfromNC]

What say you?

If it follows the pattern, it will be yet another election fraud claim which is loudly proclaimed by various right wing sources right up until the point it has to be supported in venues where there are legal penalties for lying.

If one is used to retreating to sources chosen simply because they prop up one wishes to be true, it might be hard to comprehend that others inform their views of reality using a different approach.

 

[Hazelelponi]

Yup. Your biased source dredged up an old article with the obvious intent of discrediting the mail-in votes that helped get your buddy Trump out of office (and all the MAGA toadies since then).

Looks like partisan blindness right there.

 

[Hazelelponi]

It really can... These are serious issues and the left used to talk about them all the time but now suddenly everyone is silent on the left and claiming the right to be insane because we see the problems with this.

This is why I stopped trusting in the elections to begin with, all the mail in voting, all the unsecured ballot drop boxes, people found with hundreds of ballots.

Even if it's against my side I just want to know the truth. Who really won.

But it does look, I say this only due to the sudden silence on the left, like the left has decided to use the openly known insecurity to their benefit.

Nope. Take a look at the last line in that post.

Here, let me show you again:

"P.S……I’m not a Democrat and not a liberal; however, I use the brain that God gave me and don’t fall for bullcrap."

I didn't vote for Hillary, and didn't vote for Joe.....but I darn sure didn't vote for Donald. IMO, the biggest "blindness" is from folks that think Trump has been appointed by God to lead this country. I wish the Republicans would pull their head out and expel that turd.

Your rude, cussing at me, and acting like your an unbeliever.

I have nothing else to say to you other than your on ignore. Good day.

I'm here to engage with people who enjoy talking to others respectfully about the issues of our day. Not people who vehemently cuss and spit at Christians.
