With such a definitive statement, no doubt you can provide evidence where this is occurred to affect a major election.

How does the elections department process my vote by mail (absentee) ballot securely?
It is essential to the integrity of an election that ballot processing be accurate and transparent, while maintaining your right to a secret ballot. After you return your voted ballot, your county elections department follows this ballot counting process:
- Your signature on the outer return envelope is checked against the signature on file in your voter registration record to make sure they match.
- You are credited for voting in that election. This ensures that only one ballot from each voter is counted.
- The outer return envelope, which identifies you, is then separated from the inner security envelope, which contains your voted ballot. Your ballot cannot be traced back to you, ensuring the secrecy of your vote.
- All ballots are inspected to make sure the tabulating machine will be able to read all votes. Tabulation equipment is tested before every election to make sure it is working accurately.
No fraud issues since this started in 2011.
Youād think Republicans would be bitching about it here in Blue WA.
They havenāt.
Everyone should be complaining about it if they actually care about the integrity of the elections.
Have you asked your state to disallow absentee voting?
Is there any groundswell of support there to stop it?
No, because absentee voting is very carefully controlled and monitored.
There are very limited instances when it is allowed in TX as well.

Florida went to no excuse absentee voting (essentially vote by mail) some years ago. It has not introduced any new issues. Voters can go to the polls on election day, go to early voting or vote by mail.
All of Floridaās issues, when they occur, then to be isolated to the 3 southeast counties. The other 64 counties seem to do just fine.

Works like that here, too.
It canāt with that volume of votes and one party control of the state, it simply isnāt possible.
What a purely partisan response.
Well done.
Some of us donāt care who is responsible, just that it can and does happen.
Itās been working since 2011 with no Republican complaints.
Kind of weird that the one major case of voting fraud by mail was Republicans in North Carolina and you mention Democrats. Clearly thatās GOO territory.
Pennsylvania just started mail-in voting last year.

Except states have been doing it for years and thereās been one single scandal.
Because fraud is extremely difficult to detect with mail in ballots.
Facts! What have facts got to do with this?
What point are you trying to (unsuccessfully) make?
