Mail-in Voting

Catherine Engelbrecht is the Founder and President of True The Vote the nation’s largest voters’ rights group.The organization for over ten years now has been on the front lines of election fraud prevention by building action-oriented election integrity movements in key states, counties, and precincts. ‘True the Vote’ does not advocate for particular parties or candidates only for fair elections at all levels.(Photo) The voter rights organization was so successful that True the Vote and its founder Catherine Engelbrecht, were targeted by top federal government agencies including the IRS, DOJ, FBI, ATF, OSHA.

A Michigan resident put a toilet on their lawn with a sign that says, “Place mail in ballots here.”

Barb Byrum, the Democratic clerk of Ingham County, filed a complaint with police over the display, saying it could mislead people who aren't familiar with the voting system. “It is a felony to take illegal possession of an absentee ballot,” Byrum said Friday. “Elections in this country are to be taken seriously and there are many people who are voting by mail for the first time."

Police in Greenville, Wisconsin, found three trays of mail, including absentee ballots, in a ditch. The Outagamie County Sheriff's Office discovered the trays in a ditch on Tuesday morning, near Appleton International Airport, according to WLUK. The mail was returned to the U.S. Postal Service, and an investigation is underway. "The United States Postal Inspection Service immediately began investigating, and we reserve further comment on this matter until that is complete."

Lisa Deeley, the chair of the Philadelphia city commissioners, estimated that between 30,000 and 40,000 ballots in Philadelphia alone could be thrown out as a result of the court ruling. Statewide, that number could exceed 100,000.

That could have massive implications for the presidential election. President Trump won Pennsylvania in 2016 by only about 44,000 votes, and Democrats see the state as a critical part of their path to the White House in November.

With 350,000 dead registered voters across 42 states — including three critical swing states — to one state allowing ballots to be counted up to nine days after election day, what the heck is going on with America’s presidential election process? More importantly, what the heck is going on with the integrity of America’s presidential election process? With the election just 40 days away, the pitched battle between the Democrat Party and Donald Trump over the safety (integrity, security, validity; you pick) of mail-in voting, among other charges of voter fraud, continues to intensify.

"Since Monday, FBI personnel working together with the Pennsylvania State Police have conducted numerous interviews and recovered and reviewed certain physical evidence," Freed said. "At this point we can confirm that a small number of military ballots were discarded. Investigators have recovered nine ballots at this time."

"Some of those ballots can be attributed to specific voters and some cannot," he continued. "All nine ballots were cast for presidential candidate Donald Trump."

Freed said that Luzerne County election officials have cooperated with the investigation. His office "expect later today to share our up to date findings with officials in Luzerne County. It is the vital duty of government to ensure that every properly cast vote is counted."

The Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton (R-Texas), has announced that his office has charged four Democratic elections officials with 134 felony charges of voter fraud stemming from the 2018 Democratic primaries.

The four suspects, who were arrested on Thursday, are Gregg County Commissioner Shannon Brown, Brown’s wife Marlena Jackson, Charlie Burns, and DeWayne Ward. Paxton’s office says that among the charges are election fraud, tampering with governmental records, and mail-in ballot fraud, among others.

The statement from Paxton’s office says that the individuals in question created fake ballots to boost Brown’s razor-thin race by targeting “young, able-bodied voters to cast ballots by mail by fraudulently claiming the voters were ‘disabled,’ in most cases without the voters’ knowledge or consent.”

Jackson faces the most charges, with 97; 30 of those charges are for election fraud, as she is said to have marked numerous applications herself for voters to receive mail-in ballots even though they were not disabled. Brown faces 23 counts, while Burns faces eight counts, and Ward is facing six counts. The possible sentences in the case are as low as six months, and as high as 99 years.

The fraud was allegedly enough to tip the primary race in Brown’s favor, as he supposedly beat his challenger by just five votes, with a margin of 1,047 to 1,042. Of all votes cast, 787 were done by mail.

The president cited the following stories, questioning the integrity and stability of the mail-in voting process:

1. In Brooklyn, 25 percent of mail-in ballots were ruled invalid during the June Democrat primary.
2. In a New Jersey special election, nearly 20 percent of the ballots were thrown out, and four people are being prosecuted for fraud.
3. In a Florida primary, more than 35,000 mail-in ballots were rejected, and over 100,000 ballots were rejected in California.
4. In Pennsylvania’s primary, half of the counties were still counting ballots a week after the election.
5. The story of discarded military ballots discovered in Pennsylvania, many of them were cast for Trump.
6. Reports in Wisconsin of three trays of mail containing absentee ballots were found in a ditch.
7. In North Carolina, voters reported receiving two ballots in the mail.

I wonder if IPOTUS will approve mail ins if they have a Moscow postmark.

The Colorado Secretary of State is under fire after mailing postcards to dead people and non-citizens, urging them to go online and register to vote.

According to CBS4, at least a dozen people are confirmed as receiving the postcards who shouldn’t have – while the number of unconfirmed erroneous mailings is of course unknown.

“Which sounds really nice except my mother has been dead four years and she hasn’t lived, voted, owned property, worked, or done anything other than visit Colorado since 1967,” said resident Karen Anderson – who opened her mail about a week ago and found one of the postcards addressed to her mother.


Anderson wonders “how many went out that nobody called in about,” noting that the State of Colorado even issued her mother’s death certificate.

CBS4 has learned of about a dozen people who received the postcards who shouldn’t have. They went to a deceased woman in Las Animas County, six migrant workers in Otero County, a Canadian in Douglas County, a man from Lebanon in Jefferson County, and a British citizen in Arapahoe County.

Colorado Director of the Secretary of State’s elections division, Judd Choate, said the state goes to ‘great lengths’ to ensure the accuracy of the state’s voter rolls, however there are always mistakes.

“Colorado does virtually every single possible thing it can do reasonably to clean its voter rolls,” he said, adding that the list they use for the postcards is compiled by the National Electronic Registration Information System – which uses data from the DMV, national and state death records, voter rolls in other states, and change of address forms. He says his office then performs a second vetting.

“Yes, it’s true that occasionally it will go to a person that it shouldn’t go to, someone who’s already registered or somebody that’s below the age of 18, but the vast, vast majority go to the people who are eligible and then many of them follow-up and become registered voters and they get their ballot in the mail and can vote in our election,” said Choate – who added that postcards were mailed to around 750,000 people, of which he expects maybe 10% to register.

“You hear about them trying to register dead people but I never really thought I’d see it,” said Anderson.

The New York City Board of Elections is blaming a vendor for an egregious error on absentee ballots mailed to voters in Brooklyn that could cause their votes to be thrown out–even if they follow the rules to the letter. The reason is that the absentee ballots were sent out with return envelopes that were mismatched and bear the names and addresses of other voters so that if the person signs the envelope with their own name it won’t be counted as the signature would not match the name on the mistakenly sent return envelope.

A Biden Campaign operative in Texas is attempting to rig the 2020 election with the help of others in a massive ballot harvesting scheme, according to two private investigators who testified under oath that they have “video evidence, documentation and witnesses” to prove it. With the help of mass mail-in ballots, the illegal ballot harvesting operation could harvest 700,000 ballots, one Harris County Democrat operative allegedly bragged.

The investigators—a former FBI agent and former police officer—claim that Biden’s Texas Political Director Dallas Jones and his cohorts have been “hoarding mail-in and absentee ballots” and ordering operatives to them fill out for people in Harris County illegally, “including dead people, homeless people, and nursing home residents in the 2020 presidential election,” Patrick Howley of the National File reported.

While law enforcement agencies are reportedly investigating these potential crimes, nothing will be done about it until “well after the November 3, 2020 election” the former FBI agent said.

Dallas Jones was appointed the Biden campaign’s Texas Political Director in late August.

In his testimony, Aguirre stated that he is a retired captain with the Houston Police Department and now a private investigator.

“I am currently involved in an investigation related to a wide-ranging and fraudulent ballot harvesting scheme in Harris County intended to rig the elections in the Houston/Harris County area. This scheme involves voter fraud on a massive scale,” he stated.

Based on interviews, review of documents, and other information, Aguirre identified three individuals, including a state senator and the Harris County Commissioner, who are working with Jones on the ballot harvesting operation: “District 13 Texas State Senator Borris Miles, who is the handler of Mr. Jones, political consultant Gerald Womack, and Precinct 1 Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis.” Aguire added: “One of the companies these individuals are using as a front for this operation is AB Canvassing, although there are others that have been identified that we are investigating.”

Aguirre noted that the ballot harvesters have been exploiting the elderly with the complicity of nursing home staff.

There is 'no evidence' that election fraud does not occur.

In the 2020 general election, more Americans will vote by mail than ever before. Some states, such as California, have mailed so-called unsolicited ballots to all registered voters. Meanwhile, many others have expanded absentee ballot eligibility requirements. One way or another, millions of Americans will vote via mail this fall, which could create a nightmare scenario in which the election outcome could be in flux weeks after Election Day.

Unbeknownst to many, mail-in voting is not as simple as it sounds. Each state has different rules when it comes to casting mail-in ballots. Some require multiple witnesses.

District of Columbia resident Yvette Zane, 59, was charged in connection with the incident. Zane has been charged with first-degree theft and three other related charges, police said.

When asked whether the alleged crime was an attempt to take mail-in ballots or other forms of mail, a police spokesman said that the motive in the incident is “unknown."

According to the incident report, an eyewitness saw the suspect get into the driver's seat of the mail truck and drive away. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle several times in their roughly half-mile pursuit before the driver, who did not have a valid operator's license, stopped the vehicle in the 800 block of Varnum St. NW.

Scaring Voters into Mail-In Increases Election Uncertainty

Due to the political stoking of fears of contracting COVID-19, a massive push has been made, mostly by the left, to encourage voting by mail. This significantly alters the calculus on Election Day and completely upends the post-election period.

Most states and local election officials aren’t prepared to process, validate, and count large numbers of mail-in ballots. In six swing states (totaling 74 Electoral College votes)—Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — no mail-in ballots may be counted before Election Day.

Since reports indicate a far greater interest in voting by mail for Democrats than Republicans, it’s likely that President Trump will be winning these states by large margins on Election Day, only to see that margin shrink in the days and weeks after Election Day. Indeed, that is precisely the narrative being crafted by leading organs of the mainstream media.

Further, voting by mail doesn’t result in the same success rate as does voting in person. The Washington Post reported that some 534,000 ballots were rejected during the 2020 primaries, either because they arrived late, the voter’s signature appeared invalid, or other failures. A separate analysis published in the Post found that as many as 4.9 percent of mail-in ballots fail to result in a counted vote. Depending on the state and the share of the vote by mail for each major party, the 1 in 20 ballots that fail to convert into a vote could be determinative.

Uncertainty Can Fuel More Rioting

Adding uncertainty to what is a routine exercise in vote counting (the 2000 contest in Florida being an exception) is this year’s urban unrest. An election night featuring competing claims of victory, confusion, and early calls by the media, only to be reversed on the receipt of newer data, may lead to post-election violence unlike any seen in more than 150 years.

Purportedly aiming to make sense of this fraught election year, in early August, the Transition Integrity Project (TIP) released a report suggesting that President Donald Trump would not likely leave office without an unprecedented struggle. The TIP, a self-proclaimed “bipartisan” group of some 100 people, was entirely composed of those firmly opposed to President Trump.

Their purpose wasn’t so much gaming out plausible post-election scenarios as to generate breathless propaganda suggesting that no matter the outcome, President Trump would refuse to leave the White House on Jan. 20, 2021, Inauguration Day. He flatly contradicted such propaganda in his NBC town hall last week, saying that he wants the election process to be fair and that he will abide by verified election results.

TIP’s effort marks a lost opportunity, one that the Claremont Institute in partnership with the Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF) sought to remedy with our own simulation of election night and what might be a highly charged and competitive aftermath — a contest after the contest.


For the task, Claremont and TPPF assembled a team of 35 people, and over the course of seven days, these constitutional scholars, along with experts in election law, foreign affairs, law enforcement, and media, decided how they would react to fast-moving events. The operation was coordinated by a retired military officer experienced in running hundreds of wargames.

A federal appeals court ruled in favor of the Texas government Monday, saying mail-in ballots are more prone to voter fraud and blocking a lower court decision that could have upended the state’s signature-match requirement for those ballots. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that under Texas law, in-person voting is the norm and voting by mail is the exception, reserved for special cases such as the elderly and disabled. And requiring those ballots to be accompanied by a valid signature is not an undue burden, given the state’s interest in preventing voter fraud, the court ruled.

The 2020 Donald Trump campaign and the Nevada GOP filed a lawsuit this week to stop the counting of mail-in ballots in Clark County, Nevada, over the alleged lack of voter integrity measures.

The Trump campaign and the Nevada GOP filed a petition against Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske and Clark County registrar Joe Gloria to stop the counting of ballots in the county over alleged issues with the mail-in ballot counting process.

The plaintiffs contend that Gloria is “obstructing the observation process” by not allowing people to see where ballots are handled. The lawsuit asks the court to block the ballot counting until officials can devise a new plan.

The lawsuit contended that observers are too far to see computers or to monitor calls and that ballot review could compromise secrecy.

“Gloria’s complete failure to timely submit an election plan as required by Nevada law and further refusal to work with petitioners to assure meaningful and safe observation of the process is unprecedented,” the plaintiffs charged in the suit.

A Boston ballot box was set on fire early Sunday in what appears to be a “deliberate attack,” according to local officials, who called the incident “a disgrace to democracy.” Authorities in Massachusetts have asked the FBI to investigate the blaze, which was sparked around 4 a.m. outside the main branch of the Boston Public Library. The drop-off box held 122 ballots, 35 of which were largely spoiled, Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin’s office said. Galvin and Boston Mayor Marty Walsh blasted the act as a “disgrace to democracy, a disrespect to the voters fulfilling their civic duty, and a crime.”
