MAIL-IN VOTES CAN CHANGE ELECTION 2020 FOR EITHER PARTY



ANYONE WHO HAS READ MY BLOG FOR AWHILE KNOWS HOW I ABHOR ANY/ALL POLITICAL PARTIES AND THEIR POLITICIANS. I AM OF NO PARTY.

I HAVE BEEN READING POST-ELECTION HEADLINES FOR ALMOST 70 YEARS AND I ASSURE YOU THAT DEMOCRATS ARE THE UNDISPUTED "KINGS" OF VOTER FRAUD. 
HOWEVER, ALWAYS QUESTION EVERYTHING I WRITE AND DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. 

There’s little doubt that, as the number of mail-in ballots increases, so does fraud. 

A 2012 report in The New York Times noted that voter fraud involving mail-in ballots “is vastly more prevalent than the in-person voting fraud that has attracted far more attention, election administrators say. 
In Florida, absentee-ballot scandals seem to arrive like clockwork around election time.” 


According to a Wall Street Journal report on voter exploitation in Hispanic communities in Texas, mail-in ballots have “spawned a mini-industry of consultants who get out the absentee vote, sometimes using questionable techniques.” Poor, elderly, and minority communities are most likely to be preyed upon by so-called ballot “brokers.”

An academic study done in 2008 from Reed College flagged various concerns related to absentee voting and conceded there is a “great deal of literature on turnout” but when it comes to mail-in ballots there is “a dearth of research on campaign effects, election costs, ballot quality, and the risk of fraud.”

Concerns about fraud in mail-in ballots were serious enough that a 2008 report produced by the CalTech/MIT Voting Technology Project recommended that states “restrict or abolish on-demand absentee voting in favor of in-person early voting.”

Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Utah, and Hawaii now do all elections exclusively by mail. 
Supporters point to smooth elections in these states as proof that it works. 

But PILF obtained voter data from Oregon, the first state to adopt voting by mail exclusively, for the 2012 and 2018 elections and checked it against census data. 

Of the 7 million ballots the state sent out in those two elections, some 871,000 ballots are totally unaccounted for.

Oregon would not reveal its data for the 2014 and 2016 elections for reasons the state would not disclose.



Regardless, U.S. Census data confirms that 11% of Americans move every year, and voters on the lower end of the economic scale are especially transient. 


Without implementing some extensive, and likely problematic, government surveillance program, there’s no way for election administrators to reliably get ballots to tens of millions of Americans every election cycle without a large percentage of ballots going to the wrong address.

THOSE BALLOTS ARRIVING AT INVALID CURRENT ADDRESSES CAN BE FILLED OUT AND RETURNED BY WHOMEVER GETS THEM. 


Use of mail-in ballots more than doubled from 24.9 million in 2004 to 57.2 million in 2016, and around 40% of U.S. votes are now done by mail. 

Along with this dramatic increase there have been virtually no new safeguards, scrutiny, or additional research on the risks of vote by mail. 

If the current pandemic is going to force the issue during a presidential election, proponents of voting by mail may have to address obvious risks that come with proposing that more than 200 million ballots be mailed out this fall.

“I really think the only reason vote-by-mail problems are not getting more attention on a regular basis, is that it's kind of an embarrassing problem and people just aren’t paying attention,” says Logan Churchwell of PILF (Public Interest Legal Foundation
). 



DEMOCRATS ARE COUNTING ON IT 

HawkFish CEO Josh Mendelsohn said in an interview with Axios on HBO, according to a “scenario” modeled by his firm, the results on election night could show Trump winning 408 electoral votes

HawkfFish is a political data and technology agency founded by former New York City mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg.

We are sounding an alarm and saying that this is a very real possibility, that the data is going to show on election night an incredible victory for Donald Trump,”

One scenario modeled by Mendelsohn’s polling firm even shows Trump prevailing in the Electoral College on election night, winning 408 electoral votes compared to just 130 for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

But Mendelsohn is anticipating that only about 15 percent of all mail-in votes will be counted by election night, and he believes that once all of the mail-in votes are counted that Biden will be declared the true winner


That scenario accounts for the idea that just 15 percent of mail-in votes will be counted by election night. In that event, the model suggests, Biden could prevail days later — if counting goes smoothly — by 334 electoral votes to 204 for Trump.

“When every legitimate vote is tallied and we get to that final day, which will be some day after Election Day, it will in fact show that what happened on election night was exactly that, a mirage,” Mendelsohn said.

Even if there was no vote fraud, and even if every single vote was counted accurately, tens of millions of people would still be absolutely convinced that the election was stolen from Trump.

OR FROM BIDEN...BOTH SIDES WOULD CLAIM FRAUD AFTER A LOSS. 

And even Mendelsohn is admitting that the outcome he is projecting would “shake the losing side’s faith in the integrity of the election”.

New Narrative Being Pushed: Trump Will Lead Big On Election Night, But Biden Will Eventually Win Because Of Mail-In Ballots

(by Michael T. Snyder, a graduate of the University of Florida law school and an attorney in Washington D.C. for a number of years.
Today, Michael is best known for his work as the publisher of The Economic Collapse Blog.) 

"Personally, I think that mail-in voting is a bad idea no matter which party it favors. It opens up so many opportunities for potential vote fraud, and the delay in getting the results is very bad for our nation.

"I believe that we will see some precincts in some swing states with a voter participation rate of more than 100 percent this year. 
 In other words, I believe that in some precincts the number of votes cast will actually outnumber the true number of actual voters.

Let’s keep a close eye on the results as they come in throughout the month of November and see if I am actually correct. In my opinion there is going to be quite a bit of monkey business going on with mail-in ballots, and President Trump has been greatly concerned about mail-in ballots as well. In fact, on Wednesday he once again expressed his concern that the upcoming election could be rigged
        
I have always believed that voters should be required to vote in person as much as possible and that paper ballots should always be used. 

 Those two measures alone would certainly not completely fix our system, but they would definitely go a long way toward restoring integrity to the voting process.

As it stands now, we are heading into a nightmare election. We all know that it is exceedingly unlikely that Trump will concede on election night, and Hillary Clinton continues to insist that Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances

So we are probably going to have to wait for weeks before every vote is finally counted.

And then if it is still very close, there will probably be legal challenges which will have to work their way through the courts.

If things are tight enough, we may not have a formal winner until some time in 2021.

No matter who ends up being victorious, I believe that the election of 2020 is going to be a nightmare for America."


FORBES lays it out rather simply.

Will your vote count in 2020?
Will your neighbors’ vote count?
That might depend on whether you vote in person or try to vote by mail.

In states with a significant vote by mail component, hijacking mail-in ballots is the tool of choice for those trying to steal elections.

In 18 states, a photo identification is needed to vote on Election Day, with another 17 states requiring at least a non-photo ID. 

In the 2016 General Election, about a quarter of all the votes cast were by mail. But unlike when voting in person, voting by mail almost never requires an ID.

Voting by mail, while convenient for the voter, lacks the protections that voting in person provides. The ballot can get lost in the mail. The mail-in ballot application can be completed by others, sometimes with false information. 

Ballots, when they arrive in the mail, can be intercepted by political operators. And, in some cases, largescale fraud can take place where, through nominal gifts of food or alcohol, voter intimidation, or deception, a professional ballot harvester can simply substitute his vote for the voter’s and turn in the ballot.  

Ballot harvesting got so egregious in 2018 in North Carolina—where it’s illegal (as it is in Texas)—that Republican Congressional candidate Mark Harris saw his 905-vote victory annulled in early 2019, with a redo ordered.

Ballot harvesters can get aggressive, they can cut corners, and they can guarantee votes for the politician or group that hired them by taking physical possession of ballots and voting in place of the legal voter.

And in Texas, vote harvesting is illegal, at least to the extent where state law prohibits a voter’s absentee ballot being completed and mailed by someone other than a close relative.

The practice is more widespread and problematic than most people believe.

As Texas tightened its mail-in ballot laws in 2017, California weakened them by the same measure. This unleashed a massive deployment of ballot harvesters on a statewide and partisan scale, resulting in the largest historical victories for California’s Democrats since the blowout Watergate aftermath elections in 1974.

But just because a law was passed in Texas doesn’t mean the practice of illegal ballot harvesting has ended or has even been curtailed.

The 2018 General Election in Texas was highly competitive, shaped largely by the most costly U.S. Senate race in American history between incumbent Senator Ted Cruz and then-U.S. Representative Robert (Beto) O’Rourke. 
Thus, typical electoral losses for the party controlling the White House were amplified by a larger-than-usual turnout.
 In the aftermath, Republicans lost two congressional seats, two state senate seats, and 11 state house seats, and had very close calls in many others.  

The statistical evidence tying mail-in balloting to competitive Texas races in 2018 suggests that campaign operatives might have been testing out tactics—some potentially illegal—to boost the mail-in vote. 

If Texas is seen as a battleground again in 2020, how many votes might be purchased for the ballot harvesters to reap? 

It behooves election officials, party volunteers, campaign workers, and law enforcement to be on the lookout for improper harvesting of mail-in ballots."


RECAP: 28 Million Mail-In Ballots Went Missing in Last Four Elections

Between 2012 and 2018, 28.3 million mail-in ballots remain unaccounted for, according to data from the federal Election Assistance Commission. The missing ballots amount to nearly one in five of all absentee ballots and ballots mailed to voters residing in states that do elections exclusively by mail.States and local authorities simply have no idea what happened to these ballots since they were mailed – and the figure of 28 million missing ballots is likely even higher because some areas in the country, notably Chicago, did not respond to the federal agency’s survey questions. 

The city's old "reputation is true, or at least partially true," said Dick Simpson, a political science professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

History of Voter Fraud | The Other Half of History


This 28,000,000 figure does not include ballots that were spoiled, undeliverable, or came back for any reason.


Although there is no evidence that the millions of missing ballots were used fraudulently, the Public Interest Legal Foundation, which compiled the public data provided from the Election Assistance Commission, says that the sheer volume of them raises serious doubts about election security.

A significant increase in mail-in voting this fall could greatly incentivize “ballot harvesting,” where third parties collect mail-in ballots on behalf of voters and deliver them to election officials. There’s long been a consensus that such a practice incentivizes fraud, and ballot harvesting is illegal in most of the country.

The fact that millions of unused mail-in ballots are floating around in every election cycle “is not a secret type data here – it's sitting there on the Internet, and you're paying for the server cost,” notes Logan Churchwell, a spokesman for PILF. “So what do people that really focus on the election process do about that? They go into ballot harvesting. 

If there's so many ballots out there in the wind unaccounted for by election officials, surely some manpower could be dedicated to go bring them in. And that's another part of the system where you have weaknesses and risk.”

The potential to affect elections by chasing down unused mail-in ballots and making sure they get counted – using methods that may or may not be legal – is great.


A brief history of election “rigging” in the United States

Professor Adam Smith from the University of Oxford investigates America's history of election 'rigging'.
"America's politics have always been rude and rumbustious – and, on occasion, rigged..."
Much of the history of election fraud – or alleged election fraud – in American history has been prompted by the fear that 'alien' masses would steal an election.

OR, THE OTHER PARTY. 



IF MAIL-IN BALLOTS COME BACK IN FAVOR OF TRUMP, AGAINST THE GIDDY, HOPEFUL DEMOCRAT SCENARIO, EVEN IF THOSE RESULTS ARE FOUND TO BE VALID BY THE SUPREME COURT, MY PREDICTION IS THAT WE WILL SEE BLOOD IN THE STREETS ON A FAR LARGER ORDER OF MAGNITUDE THAN BLM AND ANTIFA AND ANARCHISTS ARE SPILLING NOW. 

IF WE DID A LIVE-TELEVISED, ROLL-CALL TYPE VOTE AND WE SAW EVERY VOTER IN AMERICA VERBALLY CAST A VOTE AND THE MAJORITY VOTED FOR TRUMP, DEMOCRATS WOULD GO HOWLING INTO THE STREETS LIKE THEY DID IN 2016, RIOT, BURN, ATTACK TRUMP SUPPORTERS, DEMAND TRUMP'S IMPEACHMENT AND/OR HANGING/ASSASSINATION AS THEY HAVE FOR 4 LONG YEARS.  

IF TRUMP LOSES AND IT IS PROVEN WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT THAT HE LOST BY FRAUD, THAT HE ACTUALLY WON, NO MATTER IF "DEMOCRAT LEADERS CONCUR" THAT THERE WAS DEEP FRAUD, MEMBERS OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY WOULD DEMAND TRUMP VACATE THE WHITE HOUSE SO THAT BIDEN CAN TAKE OFFICE AND THEN STEP ASIDE SO KAMALA HARRIS CAN BE CROWNED QUEEN.

WE FACE UTTER CHAOS AND MADNESS IF "ORANGE MAN BAD" GETS REELECTED. 


IF MY ASSESSMENT AS A NO-PARTY AMERICAN OFFENDS ANYONE, PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT I DON'T GIVE A TINY DAMN. 

I AM SICK OF LIES AND POLITICS WHICH ARE SYNONYMOUS. 
PERIOD.  
THE END.  

GOD, SAVE THE REPUBLIC OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FROM POLITICS!

  1. THE POST OFFICE CAN'T DELIVER MAIL-IN BALLOTS ON TIME.
    "With the dramatic increase of ballots compared to previous elections, in some cases a tenfold increase in the number of ballots in some states, there are some issues in the supply chain,” a senior USPS official informed the group, which consisted of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and other senior USPS officials.
    Speaking about deadlines for requesting mail-in ballots that Postal officials worry fall too close to Election Day to be counted, another official was blunt with the group: “Despite the heroic efforts I know you guys will pursue to get that ballot in the hands of voters, the reality is, that’s going to be a difficult situation for that voter to have their vote counted.”
    Senior USPS officials, including DeJoy, largely blamed the states for complicating vote-by-mail efforts, complaining on Thursday about what they described as states’ lack of understanding of the mail delivery process. They acknowledged that their recent and highly controversial moves – such as warning election officials in 46 states and the District of Columbia that their deadlines for voters to request ballots by mail jeopardized votes being counted – had opened the agency up to claims of politicization.

  2. Election official: ‘Don’t rely on the post office’ to deliver your absentee ballot.
    https://www.ctinsider.com/local/stamfordadvocate/article/Election-official-Don-t-rely-on-the-post-15525746.php


    Ballot envelopes not always being postmarked in states that have ballot postmark deadlines of Election Day or earlier. That has been a particular problem in New York.
    “Apparently, the post office often doesn’t cancel prepaid postage, so those envelopes had no postmark, but the law required a postmark before a ballot could be counted,” Blunt said.
