Four Stolen Elections: The Vulnerabilities of Absentee
Election Law Reform Initiative Manager, Senior Legal Fellow
SUMMARY

All 50 states have bans on electioneering in and near polling places. By contrast, there are no prohibitions on electioneering in voters’ homes—which is what happens all too often with absentee ballots and voting by mail. This makes voters vulnerable to intimidation and unlawful “assistance,” as well as pressure by candidates, campaign staffers, political party activists, and political consultants—all of whom have a stake in the outcome of the election—to vote in the campaign’s interests, not their own. Absentee ballots are also more vulnerable to being misdirected, stolen, forged, and altered. This Legal Memorandum details four cases studies of election fraud committed through absentee and mail-in voting.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Universal absentee or mail-in voting leaves America’s electoral system vulnerable to fraud, forgery, coercion, and voter intimidation.

Uncovering instances of voter fraud is difficult, and those who commit fraud are often able to get away without repercussions.

Preventing voter fraud is crucial for protecting election integrity, ensuring public confidence in the election system, and maintaining a stable democratic republic.


No one disputes the need for absentee or mail-in ballots for people who cannot make it to their neighborhood polling places on Election Day, such as because they are sick, physically disabled, or serving the country abroad, or because they cannot make it to the polls for some other legitimate reason. But changing the U.S. election system to no-fault absentee balloting, in which anyone can vote with a mail-in ballot without a reason, or to mail-only elections, in which voters no longer have the ability to vote in person, is an unwise and dangerous policy that would disenfranchise voters and make fraud far easier.

Mail-in ballots are completed and voted outside the supervision and control of election officials and outside the purview of election observers, destroying the transparency that is a vital hallmark of the democratic process. The many cases of proven absentee-ballot fraud in The Heritage Foundation’s Election Fraud Database1
The Heritage Foundation’s Election Fraud Database presents a sampling of recent proven instances of election fraud from across the country. This database is not an exhaustive or comprehensive list. It does not capture all cases and certainly does not capture reported instances that are not investigated or prosecuted. But it demonstrates the vulnerabilities in the election system and the many ways in which fraud is committed.

show that mail-in ballots are susceptible to being stolen, altered, forged, and forced. In fact, a 1998 report by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement concluded that the “lack of ‘in-person, at-the-polls’ accountability makes absentee ballots the ‘tool of choice’ for those inclined to commit voter fraud.”2

Yes even Malik Obama who is Barack's brother admits that Michele Micheal Obama Robinson is a Man. Have you ever noticed that neither Malia and Sasha Obama have the famous Nubian nose? They take pride in the shape of the Nubian nose because it identifies the true Kings of Egypt that nose is carved in many stone monuments. I know Nubians who are Sudanese but make up the largest tribal groups in Africa and they are the owners of the land. They are everywhere and they pride themselves in their black skin and distinct facial features.


There is no Muslim Jesus

ceejayluv:
Obama is half Kenyan.. are Kenyans Nubians? Pls enlighten Me

HarshBitterTrut:
Barack Obama Sr who is Barack's father is a Dinka Nubian. They traveled over to Kenya from Sudan seeking refuge during the Sudan Civil War back in the 1980's, a violent religious war between Sunni Sudanese and Traditional Nubians. The Obamas are not the Kyruku who are the dominant ethnic group of Kenya that the Kenyatta family claims to belong. Just like the Fulani are migrants to the Niger area so are the Dinka Nubians in Kenya. I am aware of the identity of nearly every group in Africa and the world. Nobody can pull one over on me anymore because they did once and I learned from it. Certain groups conceal and suppress their true biblical identities for religious reasons.

Well noted...
But if a half Nubian has children with a non Nubian, must they inherit the Nubian phenotype?

Cross dressers and transgenders are often said to b the same thing but others insist they are different in that Transgenders are ‘women’ or ‘men’ born in the wrong bodies. Mostly men who feel they should have come to the world as women.

Cross dressers however nikama kina Eric Omondi and the rest who wear women clothing for marketing purposes or for comedy….but like i said – its confusing to figure out why men cross dress….or is it a fetish?

Anyway having said that, below is a list of well known male cross dressers in the entertainment indutsry who dress better than some of your women.

Mail-In Bal­lots: A Threat to Democracy
Our democracy is threatened, this time by way of the post office. Democrats across the nation are pushing mail-in ballots for every voter in November. Not wanting to let the crisis caused by COVID-19 go to waste, they’ve disguised their plot to manipulate the integrity of our election system by arguing that voters fear contracting COVID-19 if they physically show up to the polls. Democrat leadership clearly wants non-citizens to vote, which is ironic since they also claim to be concerned about foreign influence over our elections. The Left is willing to mar our democracy for a chance at winning at the ballot box. That is simply un-American.

It is also no secret that both sides of the political aisle have long agreed that voting by mail-in ballot increases the likelihood of fraud. During a 2004 Congressional hearing, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-NY, said, “In my experience in New York, paper ballots are extremely susceptible to fraud. I could show you experience which would make your head spin.” Just two years ago in a legislative hearing in Austin, a prosecutor from South Texas (and registered Democrat) testified: “Any time you have ballots that are outside the polling location, you’re going to have fraud…I would never recommend everyone voting by mail – it invites fraud.”

Democrats are selling Americans a false narrative; election integrity will jeopardize personal safety. Election officials have many options available to safely and securely hold in-person elections. They can provide masks, hand sanitizer, and gloves. They can enforce physical distancing recommendations, sanitize voting stations, and implement other practical solutions so voting machines can be operated touch-free. To shorten waiting times and lines at polls, they could also expand the number of early voting days as we did in Texas for the primary elections. With precautions like these, voters can access polling places safely and exercise their vote without fear of being defrauded. If we safely choose to go to shopping malls, restaurants or even large public protests, we have no excuse to forego our constitutional-right to vote, and to do so in person.

In Texas, to prevent fraud, we must show an ID when we vote just as we are required to show a form of ID at the airport, government buildings, financial institutions, and during many other daily activities. But there is no effective way for election officials to ensure that mail-in ballots are not requested fraudulently. Just as credit card skimmers can steal your financial information, vote harvesters can easily collect “authentic” signatures under false pretenses and steal your vote. During the 2018 primary, an anonymous video surfaced that appears to show how easily a Houston-area campaign worker collected a ballot application and signature from a voter in less than 20 seconds. After providing her signature, the voter asked the worker, “Is this legal, what you’re doing?” The worker replied, “Yes, ma’am, we’ve done 400 already.”

Once mail ballots go out, harvesters show up at a voter’s door and offer “voting assistance.” They often appear friendly, and helpful. Successful vote harvesters leave with a voter’s signature and a ballot that is blank, that is “correctly” voted, or that can be modified later. Or the harvester can simply discard the ballot if the voter chose the “wrong” candidate. Done effectively, the process is largely invisible to the voter, who is led to believe their ballot was cast according to their wishes.

Because of tactics like these, my office has conducted over 300 investigations of mail-in ballot fraud. Our investigators have spoken with thousands of victims of mail ballot fraud over the years, and they commonly tell us they were pressured and harassed by campaign workers to sign up to vote by mail, vote a certain way, or hand over their ballots. The common denominator in mail ballot fraud is that the votes of the victims are cancelled and replaced by those of paid campaign workers. Every fraudulent vote disenfranchises a lawful voter by canceling out their lawful vote.

Politically-motivated groups want to scare us into allowing what amounts to unlimited vote by mail. In doing so, they are stealing your right to vote. Democrats distract the public with talk of foreign involvement in our elections while they are brazenly creating election interference themselves. If we willfully compromise the integrity of our election process, we are threatening the future of our country as we know it. Let’s work together to stop them and keep our elections safe, fair, and honest.



By Ken Paxton – Texas Attorney General

Mail elections would involve robbed mailboxes, forged signatures and illegally printed ballots. In a tweet on Monday, this one in all-caps, Mr. Trump warned of a “rigged 2020 election” and claimed: “Ballots will be printed by foreign countries, and others. It will be the scandal of our times!”
