Boy all these steps sure sound a lot more difficult, complex, and easy to be fouled up than just going to your nearby polling place and casting your vote.

Sending a "ballot" in the mail, and then "counting" it IF it comes back is not in any way a voting system. It wouldn't pass certification for a class president election.

Agreed. It seems it would be easier to just shred the mail in ballot amd then go vote in person. OR hold the ballot and if told you already sent yours in, present the mail in as proof you did not.

Don't shred it. Hold on to it and any other ballots that are delivered to your address. If someone should knock on your door asking to pick up a ballot, tell them to hold on while you go and grab it and come back with your phone camera recording you asking for their name, group, association, etc. Post it everywhere.

Especially since Antifa/BLM will be violently attacking conservative areas' mailboxes, mail trucks, and polling lines.

For the love of God, both India and Mexico require voter ID cards to vote and carry a holographic picture of the voter in India’s case. Democrats have us voting like a 4th world nation instead of The Leader Of The Free World.

Let me make it simple for you.

  1. mail in a ballot.

  2. Go to vote in person.

Step 1 is risky.

Watched Tim Pool video about EDIT( NYT) New York Post reporting on an anonymous source who confessed to them to have participated in election rigging at every level for decades.

Primary way he describes they do that is intercepting the mail, steaming envelopes to open and replacing the ballots.

Apparently in many places, the ballots have zero protections on them and can be printed by any copy machine - the only safeguard is the special return envelope. So anyone who has 10 minutes with it, can open and replace your vote.

According to NYP story, they either convinced people to give them the ballots to mail in (ballot harvesting) or they bribed postal workers. And apparently it takes 5 minutes for 1 person to carefully steam open the envelop and do a replacement. Working in teams they can shift thousands of votes.

There needs to be some way to verify not only that you voted, but that your vote was indeed counted for the candidates you selected.

EDIT: it was New York POST not, New York Times

So much this. I fear Trump not holding the line on mail-in voting is conceding that civil war is inevitable. The system was solved and successfully gamed. Even if he catches thousands of people cheating red handed, streamed on video, it doesn't matter to most people anymore. I don't have a solution, but ceding this argument in advance undermines resistance to fighting fraud later.

aangler100 19 points ago +20 / -1

There are 100s of ways to cheat. What we are talking about here is a way to help guarantee your mail-in vote was counted, you are checking that there is a record of your ballot. A Detroit Clerk is charged with several felonies for tampering with these records (you don't vote, she makes a mail in ballot, then updates records showing you sent it in.) She was caught becusse there were records.

You mail-in ballot could have been lost, destroyed, burned, in the mail, your going in in person makes that harder to do.

We have the technology to make sure that each person only votes once, that only living people vote, and that they're citizens. People could vote online from the safety of their homes, or even from other countries as long as they were citizens. And we could know the result of the election the very second the last person hit submit.

Heck, if Google started working on it today (and wasn't evil), they could have it good to go well in advance of the election. Infuriating that we're being dragged through the least secure method of voting possible.

If you mail one in, write BLM on it so they will just let it through

No, I'll just go vote in person.

You can do that, sure. He just said if you mail-in vote, you should follow up in person.

So you mean after you get your ballot in the mail call them and tell them that you don't want to vote by mail

Where does it say that? I understand your concern, but this is a modern election, it's not like we are in the age of gas lighting.

Trump just activated a "denial of service" algorithm. He says vote in both places and let them sort it out. He will overwhelm their fake system. It will be much harder to separate the D votes from the Rs and throw the Rs in the trash. It will be twice as much votes to count, twice as many to stuff in cars and trucks, then find under awnings in someone's garage (y'all remember that right?)

I was wondering if he'd do this. If your enemy insists on a game, then one option it to play the game better. It's kind of like when Mitch added the "nuclear option" for voting in judges without a supermajority, and then he lost the house. It's kind of like when the Supreme f'ing Court said Executive Orders were inviolable, and so Trump started writing them on whatever he wanted!

No. They will just tell you you already mail in voted and you cannot vote in person, and you say "thanks for running a fair election" and you leave. It happens a lot, in every election.

You would have to actually vote twice to be guilty of voting twice.

If the polling place gets rigged, your mail in vote might still get through.

If the mail in vote gets tampered with, your in-person vote will be counted.

It covers all bases

I'm planning on keeping my mail in ballot and if I can't vote in person, then I am driving to my county election place where I can drop off my mail in ballot myself.

THIS

Everyone here is adding risk factors!

Just march yourself to your polling place HOLDING YOUR MAILED TO YOU BALLOT, trade it for vote in person one

OR

If polling place closed or timecrunch etc: Fill it in AND HAND DROP IT AT YOUR REG OF VOTER DROPBOX. AS EARLY AS.POSSIBLE/ALLOWED.

I know, I read that paragraph three times and I'm still confused

This is a way of checking to see whether polling places are letting people vote both by mail AND in person.

The President is saying:

  1. If you sent in a mail-in ballot, you should still go in person to the actual polling place on Election Day.

  2. See if they will still let you vote.

  3. If they say, "No, your vote was already received by mail so you cannot vote again," then at least they aren't letting people vote twice.

  4. If they say "Sure, here's your ballot, go fill it out at that little table over there," then you know they are either dishonest or hopelessly screwed up.

*with #3 above, you still can't be sure your vote wasn't changed. But it's a start.

Has Trump conceded that mass main-in ballot is inevitable for Nov. 2020 elections.

Dems have sent out mail-in ballot en mass well in advance in case the covid-19 situation recedes as the election nears

I'm not sure how this helps TBH. Mail-in votes have no chain of custody. What happens when people show up to vote in person find out their vote has already been cast for the other side?

2
incogneato 2 points ago +2 / -0

I agree. No chain of custody with this mail-in garbage and a near guarantee of complete chaos at the polls, even before the communist rioters show up (and they plan to.)

And as an added bonus, your vote is no longer secret. That is far more important than most folks realize, especially in today's insane political climate.

In my dreams, Trump will come out this afternoon and say "All those mail-in ballots are hereby null and void and will be destroyed on sight. You have to show up at the polls and bring ID, or else get a bona fide absentee ballot immediately. Have a nice day."

(an absentee ballot is NOT the same as a mail-in ballot, no matter how much the Dems try to tell everyone it is)

There is no chain of custody for mail-in ballots. But if you legitimize those documents these people will actually become persecuted by the state for "fraud".

Except, if the system has already counted your ballot, they won't be able to replace it with a fraudulent ballot

This is the step I see not happening.

And between now and November the DOJ is going to be arresting and locking them up by the hundreds, if not thousands.

Again, it could play out, but I don't buy this step. You start arresting pollsters, even with video evidence of vote tampering, it will not save the election. It would kick off civil war 2.
