For months Democrats have been exploiting the ongoing coronavirus pandemic as a way to push for nationwide mail-in voting because they say that Americans will have to ‘risk their life’ to cast in-person ballots in the fall if COVID-19 is still a problem.
Whether or not their concerns about the virus are legitimate is one thing. But what is increasingly clear is their intentions regarding mail-in voting are not legitimate.
Understand that coronavirus isn’t going to endanger America or the rest of the world forever. We know this because previous viruses — H1N1, SARS, MERS, etc. — have not been much of a problem after their initial outbreak. And we deal each year with strains of influenza that infect and kill far more people.
But the implementation of a nationwide mail-in balloting scheme would be permanent, giving Democrats the ability to pick off Republicans one by one and ‘win’ unending majorities in the House and Senate, as well as the White House, election after election.
How do we know this? For one, primarily Democrats are pushing this scheme. Also, a new blockbuster report shows how mail-in balloting will lead to widespread vote fraud (and remember, the Democrat Party is the one that opposes every single voter ID law that is proposed or passed).
A new report from a conservative group on the potential problems with large-scale mail-in voting argues that a recent push from states to send ballots to all registered voters for November's election would not only expose them to possible fraud but could likely result in a significant waste of taxpayer dollars.
According to the report from the Honest Elections Project, researchers cite several problems and issues that have already cropped up in several states this year as they moved to mail-in balloting due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Not only are ballots being sent to people who have moved or died (because voter registration rolls are notoriously outdated — and Democrats know this), but also the added expense of sending ballots to people who will never get them is cost-prohibitive.
“At the very least, mailing ballots to every registration on file – knowing that a significant number of registrations are erroneous or outdated – is a significant waste of scarce resources,” the report says, citing a recent estimate from Clark County, Nevada that said it will cost at least $323,000 to send ballots to people who aren’t around anymore.
When ballots were sent to addresses on the county’s current voter registration list for the May primaries, many were discovered piled in trays at post offices, outside apartment complexes, and even placed on community bulletin boards.
One report noted that ballots were even found in a trash can.
“Taxpayers’ dollars are literally being thrown away because of ill-conceived vote-by-mail schemes,” the report says.
Yeah, that’s true, of course, but the real issue is this: With so many ballots not reaching the intended recipients, that makes it ripe for vote fraud on a massive scale. And losing our democratic republic would be far more costly than dollars and cents. (Related: Supreme Court ruling: You need ID to buy beer, but not to register to vote.)
There’s more, Fox News reports:
Earlier this year up to 800 ballots were disqualified in Paterson, N.J., after hundreds of ballots were found in the mail bundled together, despite a state law forbidding anyone from handling or sending more than three mail-in ballots together.
There are many additional examples of mail-in ballot ‘problems,’ all of which point to the potential for massive fraud.
But this isn’t really ‘news.’ In fact, a bipartisan panel concluded in 2005 that mail-in voting was a recipe for fraud on a gargantuan scale and thus recommended against it.
“In 2005 former President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker co-chaired a commission on election reform that found serious problems and risks with mail-in voting,” Project's director Jason Snead said.
“Automatically mailing ballots, weakening election safeguards, and trying to impose a national mail-in election on an entire country in four months is a recipe for disaster.”
