Yes drop boxes and mail in ballots with no signature verification and the counting done largely by one side of the partisan divide (county/state employees) is totally 100% secure what could go wrong? Those conspiracy nuts just don't get it.
- anigbrowl 2y agoThey had a very long hand-counted ballot audit of the 2020 election in Arizona in 2021, and after (iirc) a few months of double and triple checking they were unable to find any irregularities.
- ytpete 2y agoEvery polling place and every vote-counting center is open to observers from both parties, by law. Your idea that one party is shut out of this system has no basis in reality.
- mythrwy 2y agoNope. There is a lawsuit right now in Georgia over the decision by some locations to accept ballots over the weekend without GOP observers present. Counting without bipartisan observers happened frequently in 2020. Also "observers" weren't mentioned in my original post. Just because someone watches a count is irrelevant to my original points.
- Spivak 2y agoYou mean the one that was rejected? The lawsuit was wrong legally and morally— these are people who are eligible to vote casting their vote in a more secure manner than mailing it in, and doing so prior to election day. There's just no moral defense of rule-lawyering to throw out valid ballots or turn away voters, and judges in red and blue states alike aren't having it.
