Weren't a couple of folks around here saying that mail in ballots should be no prob? Looks to me like one on one voter registration fraud is but a small part of the troubling picture presented by mail in ballots.
MJK wrote:Kurt, first thanks for your response completely lacking in passive-aggressive overtones. My point was that this was an unprecedented number of percentage of disqualifications. Surprised that needed underlining but then again I'm sure you were aware of that but it does not fit the acoustic signature of the echo chamber here so you feel compelled to condescendingly insult rather than respond civilly. Really though what could you say? If the smooth, sophisticated NYC elections crowd and the USPS were totally buried by this event in one city, it is not much of a stretch to assume that on a scale many thousands of times larger the problems will multiply accordingly. If 20+% of the national vote in November gets disqualified shit will unravel; I guess if you are willing to vote for a senile rapist the collapse of the entire election process might be acceptable to you.
Looking forward to pointing this out again as future election events bear out my observation and predictions.
4 easy steps, close to as many ways for people to screw these up as there are people.Kurt wrote: Fill out affadavit, vote. Put vote in separate envelop. Place vote containing envelope in envelope with afadavit.
I don't want to buff up the Big Apple too much but rest assured electoral fraud is way older than New Amsterdam. But yeah, checks-and-balances.Kurt wrote: If affadavit is wrong or not filled out or if the people forgot which envelope went where, the vote would be invalid and still held, in case a review was ordered. Smooth? Smooth would have been just shoving them in the shredder and claiming only 100 or less were invalid. No one wants smooth, people want fail-safes.
