Just please not at the same time. Your snoring is unbearable.I think that both of us are close to being invited…
Add all this together, and since 2000 more than 250 million votes have been cast via mailed-out ballots, in all 50 states, without a whiff of serious election fraud. That’s one heck of a sample size to overlook in the “I’m worried about fraud and abuse” argument. Also note those states above are red, purple and blue. This is not a partisan issue.
Even attempting to forge a signature, coerce a voter, or commit any other type of election fraud with mailed-out ballots is a felony in Vote at Home states, subject to 5 years prison time. And to succeed at changing a single vote, any would-be ballot thief either has to: a. Intercept the ballot before the voter gets it, and then successfully forge the voter’s signature, which is nearly impossible; or b. Intercept an already sealed return ballot envelope, steam it open, change the votes on the ballot; and then reseal it. It’s a fool’s errand, for the benefit of one vote changed, for the risk of a 5-year jail sentence. Possible? Of course. Likely? Not at all. Oregon has mailed-out more than 100 million ballots since 2000, with about a dozen cases of proven fraud.
