Supreme Court upholds Trump’s order to overhaul mail-in ballots

[Ruralinfo]

It’s a win for the president, who has opposed mail-in voting for years, but the legal battle is far from over, and the exact impact on November’s elections is still unclear.

Have you ever seen people living on your route getting ballots from "mail in voting" states? It used to tick me off when I see the fraud these mail in voting states allow. And you can usually tell long before the ballot arrives due to the political mailings that they get. So everyone in that state or using state's data base knows well in advance the person hasn't lived in the state in years; but gets to vote. Also think about this, if popular vote ever becomes the law as one party wants............ some people might get 2, 3, or more votes due to having registered in a "mail in state (s)" and then voting where they actually have lived for 10 years.

See it every time. I deliver to condo's, and I know the people that live there. But they get 10 ballots for one person living there with all sorts of different names. Such fraud happening, plus units that have been vacant for years getting 4 or 5 ballots??? Yeah, something needs to change.

My state used to mail out a card every 10 years or so. You had to send it back with a notorized signature or appear in person to the county clerk or your registration would be removed. So there are ways to verify voting rolls if a state or county wanted to end fraud.

 

[Charlie Brown]

Just because you're delivering the ballots doesn't mean they're actually being voted. Even if some bad actor voted a ballot not theirs or one they are no longer entitled to vote the ballots are checked off when received. People make sure the voter is still entitled to vote in the precinct and that there is only one vote from them and the signature looks like the one on their registration.
The penalty for voter fraud is unusually severe and the upside is incredibly small. Most people know that and would rather not vote at all rather than chance being caught.
Did you see where the president voted by mail in the Florida primary a few weeks ago?

 

[Charlie Brown]

Okay, I went right to the Heritage Foundation. According to their postings from 1982 to 2025, 43 years of elections over all 50 states there were 1619 criminal convictions for voter fraud. There were probably billions of ballots but the Heritage Foundation found only 1619 actual cases that could be prosecuted and won.
Now as far as undocumented voting the same Heritage Foundation found that from 1999-2023 there were 77 non citizens who successfully cast a ballot and there were 10 undocumented immigrants who voted. So the Heritage Foundation could only find 87 votes out of more than 1 billion ballots cast in that time frame.
That's certainly not from any "lamestream" media or liberal group, the Heritage Foundation is about as conservative as it gets.

Does that figure include the one from my town where the sitting councilman was indicted and 2 years later plead guilty when the case finally went to trial? And now the GUILTY councilman under the terms of the plea agreement still sits on the council and had 6 months of probation which would be removed from record if not involved with election fraud during those 6 months............. next scheduled election was 2 years away from the guilty plea as the fraud occurred during her reelection bid for a 4 year term. ????????????????

That’s .000000087%. Just to put it in perspective.

 

[Gotrope]

Does it happen? Yes. But, unless you live in an unusually small area - the likelihood of it impacting a result is almost nil.
I'm more concerned with ballot harvesting and ignorant voters.

When they can whip up a usb with votes on it, mail-in ballots are only one way they can cheat anyway. The whole process is gamed in any way it can.

To put it in perspective....you forgot to add all the ones that didnt get convicted, and got away with it....BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! That number would be a little higher I'd bet...

I'm not a fan of Heritage....but hey....whatever you think. We will never know the true number, and I guarantee you its astronomical....and definitely far, far beyond any piddly stat you've managed to dig up.

 

[Charlie Brown]

Astronomical? That's funny, hyperbole much? I vote by mail now (just like Trump) but last time I voted in person I stood in line got to a table where I was asked my name, it was then checked off the voter rolls for my my precinct, next I signed the voter book that had a copy of my registration so that the poll worker could compare signatures, then the poll worker printed my name on another sheet where they were keeping a running total of voters. A similar process is used for mail in votes. Can people cheat? Do people cheat? Yes it happens, usually it's someone voting their dead relatives on a mail in ballot. Do they get away with it? Sometimes they do, but the penalty is severe and the benefit minimal at best. At the last presidential election something like more than a third of all registered voters couldn't even be bothered to vote. Listening to Fox, OAN or Trump tell you that voter fraud is rampant without a shred of evidence is getting you all worked up over a non existent problem.

yall cool your jets...you're veering toward the political cliff

Congratulations!!! Finally made a worthwhile comment.

 

[Mr. Merriweather]

All politics aside, this will be a logistical quagmire. The USPS said yesterday that "the new requirements for mail-in voting are now in effect". I asked my PM. He has no information on this. Nothing on the telecom. Who is the onus of this going to fall on? Us. During peak season, with an influx of political mail, we will end up being the ones held accountable. My RCA doesn't know who actually lives in the houses. He throws in anything for that address. Short of sending them all as restricted certifieds, there is no way to ensure that the person who's name is on the ballot will actually be the recipient. The plants can't even manage to pull out good forwards and you expect them to check millions of ballots?
Constitutionally, the right to run elections is held by the individual states. Each with its own regulations and methods. Half a dozen states vote entirely by mail. This would disenfranchised millions of people two months before the election. It's a farce.
