> Mail-in/absentee ballot request forms typically require applicants to sign the form and affirm their eligibility to cast a mail-in/absentee ballot under penalty of law. Upon receipt of a mail-in/absentee ballot request form, election officials implement varying procedures to verify the identity and eligibility of the applicant prior to sending the applicant a mail-in/absentee ballot. Such procedures include checking the signature and information submitted on the form against the corresponding voter registration record, as well as ensuring that multiple mail-in/absentee ballots are not sent in response to applications using the same voter’s information.

Let’s see. In 2020, many duplicates were sent. Ballots were sent for dead people. So the rumour is not only true, it has already been happening across the country as recently as last election.

Yeah, I got one of those “duplicate” ballots. News stories about it were posted all over political discussion sites as “proof” of fraud.

What they didn’t mention is that they all had serial numbers that tracked back to the registration roll anyway. If you tried to send both in, it wasn’t counted, and you’d be caught in the act.

I’m more comfortable with this process than I am with electronic voting with no paper record.

Can you name one person that was caught in the act?

In any case, voting is a solemn act of conscience.

It should be conducted on election day, in privacy, without undue influence.

Mail-in voting should only exist for those who cannot physically attend, with medical evidence.

That's how it works in italy. Where we also use paper instead of machines to vote.

Then a fraud requires a conspiracy.
