@PhilipTheBucket So now we’ve had a couple of these rather amateurish ballot fraud attempts that have been quickly caught and addressed. One has to wonder if this isn’t a concerted effort to further cast doubts on mail ballots. There isn’t enough volume to likely affect election results, but the attempts are making the news and giving republicans talking points.
“As long as we have mail in ballots, a little voter fraud is totally acceptable!”
@Awesomo85 Rephrase: “As long as we have voting, a little voter fraud is acceptable”. Obviously voter fraud is NOT acceptable, but any system that covers 200 million or so potential voters cannot be completely foolproof. Like security systems, the goal is to have so many different safeguards that the number of violations becomes vanishingly small. The fruitless efforts to find any widespread voter fraud to date indicate that we have been successful.
And to add, our last couple elections have been the most secure, with the least voter fraud in history.
“Unless the system is entirely perfect and without defects we can’t make reasonable concessions to make voting easier.”
