Stuffing mail ballots makes zero sense if you're actually trying to tilt elections in your favor. It requires too much effort and conspiracy to get past the procedure you describe. Your crime-ing efforts are better off throwing away your opponents' mail ballots.
- xadhominemx 4y agoNo, because it’s easy to check if your vote has been registered. If someone threw away a ton of ballots, people would notice.
- BeFlatXIII 4y agoThey're not thrown away in the dumpster instead of fed to the counting machine. They're discarded as invalid over "signature doesn't match" and legal nit-picking. It's another case of regulatory rules being used to stop competition instead of improving market/election integrity.
- mulmen 4y agoThis has the same problem. I can use a webpage to verify my vote has been counted. If there’s something wrong I can see there’s a problem and what to do about it. If this was widespread it would be caught.
- xadhominemx 4y agoAgain, many organizations track ballot rejections for exactly the reason you describe. It’s very easy to discover this sort of behavior.
