List of Voter Fraud Cases and Mishaps Since 2016- And Why I Will Vote In Person

With the Covid19 aka Coronavirus aka Wuhan Flu/Chinese Virus (take your pick) pandemic still hovering over us like a heavy dark cloud, the Democratic Party is attempting to expand voter mail-in ballot options. As expected, the Republicans are not too keen on this idea claiming it'll be easier for the Democrats to cheat if it's implemented. The Democrats believe the same thing of the Republicans.

The fact is, it would be easy for either side to cheat. And both sides allegedly have in the past. But ever since Donald Trump was elected president the Democrats, in tandem with the never-Trump tools, have become so uber-desperate to destroy him, they're doing everything in their power to make sure he doesn't win four more years. If you're a Democrat I'll let you do your own research, this post will focus mostly on the times the Democrats have cheated, or attempted to cheat, including many times this year. I'll also include cases of incompetence and user error, and how YOUR vote could easily NOT get counted, and that includes both Republicans AND Democrats.

We've had the ability to vote by mail for decades. It's called Absentee Ballot. I've done so in the past when working on a project out-of-state. Now, if it's an important election I haul my ass down to the polling booth to make sure my vote is counted. This year will be no different. But to blanketly send out universal mail-in ballots to every person in your state is fraught with risks, and the potential for fraud. This is how ballots wind up being sent to wrong addresses, dead people, and dogs. This is how people can vote more than once.

Since the Democrats have been trying to gaslight the American people into thinking mail-in voting is safe, and that cases of fraud, etc are few and far between, here's a long list of links to cases of various types of voter fraud and voting incompetence that have occurred over the past 5 years or so, that you can share with friends and foes alike if you plan on voting this election.  I will be updating, as I discover more cases

October 2020- Everywhere (updated)

New Jersey- A New Jersey postman was arrested after he tossed almost 100 blank mail-in ballots into a dumpster near his house, along with around 500 pieces of mail in another dumpster.

California- A man in Redondo Beach, Tom Thompson, just received mail-in ballots for his parents who died over a decade ago. When he posted about it on Twitter asking for Richard Grenell's help to look into this, Grenell's Twitter account was suspended until he took down the photo of the 2 ballots because, you know, we don't have issues with mail-in voting. Many people commenting on Thompson's Twitter post had similar experiences. 

Texas- There are allegations of ballot harvesting by Joe Biden's political director in Texas, Dallas Jones, but nothing definitive yet. 

Carrollton, Texas- Zul Mirza Mohamed, running for mayor of Carrollton, was arrested and jailed on 109 felony counts of mail-in voter fraud. Democrat.

Columbus, Ohio- Almost 1 in 5 voters in Franklin County, Ohio (home to its Capitol) received the wrong absentee ballots. Almost 50,000 ballots had incorrect info.

September 2020- Everywhere (updated)

Michigan- Over 400 Michigan voters stationed in the military overseas, or citizens living abroad, were sent ballots with the wrong running mate for Trump. They claim the votes will count, but who knows.

Virginia- About 1,000 to 1400 voters were sent two ballots in Virginia. Allegedly, a mistake by the printing company.

Minneapolis, MN- Latest Project Veritas expose' - a ballot harvesting scheme for cash linked to Democratic Rep Ilhan Omar.

Texas- Four people in Texas (including Democratic commissioner, Shannon Brown) were just arrested and indicted for voter fraud during the Democratic primaries in 2018. Shannon Brown won by 5 votes after provisional and absentee ballots. (H/T @GeorgiaLogCabin.)

Wisconsin- Three trays of ballots, including absentee ballots, were found in a ditch in Wisconsin.

Georgia- Allegations of about 1,000 voters who double-voted in the Georgia primaries in June. They sent in both absentee ballots and voted in person. Investigation is ongoing.

September 2020- North Carolina

19 non-citizens in North Carolina were charged by the Feds with voter fraud for illegally voting in the 2016 elections. No mention of who they voted for.

August 2020- New Jersey

"Judge Ernest Caposela ordered a new election for Paterson’s Third Ward for Tuesday November 3, said Scott Salmon, an elections attorney representing Third Ward Councilman William McKoy. The election will have voters once again decide which of five candidates will fill the single post for the city’s Third Ward.

In June, Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal announced voting fraud charges against 1st Ward Councilman Michael Jackson, 3rd Ward Council-Elect Alex Mendez and two other men. On behalf of McKoy, Salmon filed a successful injunction to stop Mendez from being sworn into office late June."

All Democrats.

August 2020- California

A California man was charged with voter fraud for voting both as himself and as his dead mother in three elections between 2012 and 2014.  She had died in 2006. No mention of which party.

August 2020- Nationwide 

"An extraordinarily high number of ballots — more than 550,000 — have been rejected in this year's presidential primaries, according to a new analysis by NPR.

That's far more than the 318,728 ballots rejected in the 2016 general election and has raised alarms about what might happen in November when tens of millions of more voters are expected to cast their ballots by mail, many for the first time."

The main reasons the ballots were rejected- no signature, the signature didn't match the one on file, or arrived too late.

August 2020- Nationwide

Two Democratic affiliated organizations, although they claim to be non-partisan, are arbitrarily sending non-official mail-in ballot applications to voters in 20 different states. Legal, but can lead to confusion.

"Voters across the country are receiving mail-in ballot applications that contain inaccurate and potentially misleading information, election officials say.

The Center for Voter Information (CVI) and its affiliate the Voter Participation Center, both based in Washington, are sending the applications to voters in 20 states.

The groups were founded by Page Gardner, who has worked on multiple Democrat campaigns. The group says it is nonpartisan but was founded with the help of John Podesta, President Bill Clinton’s former chief of staff, according to documents obtained by watchdog Judicial Watch."

August 2020- Nevada 

1.3 million Absentee Ballots were sent to every voter in Clark, County, Nevada. 223,469 of those ballots were sent to the wrong address, so those 223,000 plus voters did NOT get a chance to vote in the primaries. And, as it turns out, it adversely affected more Democrats than Republicans.

Democrat 92,337
Republican 53,129
Others 78,003
TOTAL 223,469

August 2020- New York

Here's one for you Democrats. 80,000 plus mail-in ballots were disqualified in the NYC primaries.

July 2020- Nationwide

Mail-in ballot issues across the country.

July 2020- California

"Four more men were sentenced after admitting to their involvement in a large-scale scheme to bribe homeless people on Skid Row in exchange for forged signatures on ballot petitions and voter registration forms, prosecutors said Wednesday."

and

"The California secretary of state’s election data obtained by the AP showed 102,428 mail-in ballots were disqualified in the state’s 58 counties, about 1.5% of the nearly 7 million mail-in ballots returned. That percentage is the highest in a primary since 2014, and the overall number is the highest in a statewide election since 2010."

June 2020:  Indiana

Democratic Party activist Jan Reed "was accused last month of illegally sending hundreds of absentee ballot applications with instructions leaving voters no choice but to participate in her party's June 2 primary election." When told to stop, she refused. Democrat.

June 2020: New Jersey

"Of the 2,400 registered Republicans in Bernardsville, 500 to 700 of them received erroneous mail-in ballots, listing the Democratic candidates instead of the Republicans."

June 2020: Michigan

"Some households have received unexpected mailings for deceased voters or since-moved occupants as part of a mass mailing of absentee ballot applications across Michigan.."

June 2020- Florida

Over 18,000 mail-in ballots were rejected in Florida's March presidential primary. Again, late arrival and signature issues.

May 2020:  South Carolina

"South Carolina election officials could have counties cut ties to a Minnesota printer after about 20 Charleston County absentee ballots were found in Maryland this week. 

The ready-to-mail ballots have since made their way to Charleston-area voters, state and county election officials said, but it is just the latest problem with SeaChange Print Innovations, which prints and mails absentee ballots for 13 S.C. counties. 

Some Greenville County voters received the wrong absentee ballots this year when the Democratic presidential primary and a special election for sheriff were held 10 days apart, S.C. Election Commission spokesman Chris Whitmire said."

May 2020- Pennsylvania

Not mail-in ballot related, but voter fraud.

"A former Philadelphia election official has pleaded guilty to taking thousands of dollars in bribes to stuff the ballot boxes for Democrats in local races between 2014 and 2016."

April 2020-  Oregon

Although Oregon officials blamed the voters, 100s of people had their party switched to non-affiliated from Republican during the primaries. It seems in Oregon you're automatically classified as non-affiliated unless you opt-in. Oregon Secretary of State claims:

 “We have an automatic voter registration system that automatically marks people as nonaffiliated, we then send them a letter with a returnable postcard asking if they want to opt out or declare a party, if they don’t return that or change their party online or on our paper forms, then they remain non-affiliated. I don’t know if that is what is happening, but it might be in some cases.”

A pretty asinine way to run an election. One should NOT have to opt-in. I should be able to remain affiliated with whatever party I initially chose when first registering to vote until I CHANGE it.

Check out the Facebook page My Party Was Changed Oregon that was created because of this fiasco.

September 2019- Michigan

"Southfield City Clerk Sherikia L. Hawkins was charged Monday with six felony counts over "unauthorized and inaccurate" changes to absentee ballots in the November 2018 election."  

 193 Absentee Ballots. Democrat

February 2019- North Carolina

I'll be fair and include the Absentee Ballot harvesting voter fraud case of Republican Mark Harris.

January 2019- Texas

95,000 non-citizens were discovered on Texas voter rolls.

November 2018- Florida

This Florida Sun-Sentinel article illustrates the dangers of mail-in voting- from sloppy signatures to late-arriving ballots, to fraud, and incompetence.

November 2016- California

"Jerry Mosna of San Pedro found the two stacks of ballots on top of his mailbox on Saturday. All of the 83 ballots were unused and addressed to different people, all supposedly living in an apartment he knows to be occupied by a single, 89-year-old, neighbor."

Information on voter fraud from The Heritage Foundation.

Easy To Cheat-

1. Margaret Menge has an interesting story on how she tested the system in 2011 while living in Palm Beach County, Florida, and succeeded.

2. This article from the New York Post highlights voter fraud perpetrated by a Democratic political insider who claims he has been doing it for decades.

"..the political insider, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he fears prosecution, said fraud is more the rule than the exception. His dirty work has taken him through the weeds of municipal and federal elections in Paterson, Atlantic City, Camden, Newark, Hoboken and Hudson County and his fingerprints can be found in local legislative, mayoral and congressional races across the Garden State. Some of the biggest names and highest office holders in New Jersey have benefited from his tricks, according to campaign records The Post reviewed."

Missing Ballots- tons of them-

According to Real Clear Politics

"Between 2012 and 2018, 28.3 million mail-in ballots remain unaccounted for, according to data from the federal Election Assistance Commission. The missing ballots amount to nearly one in five of all absentee ballots and ballots mailed to voters residing in states that do elections exclusively by mail." [snip]

Although there is no evidence that the millions of missing ballots were used fraudulently, the Public Interest Legal Foundation, which compiled the public data provided from the Election Assistance Commission, says that the sheer volume of them raises serious doubts about election security."

But no-one knows for sure.

Ballot Harvesting-

Then you have the ripe-for-fraud system whereby someone is allowed to return a ballot for someone else.  Here's some info on Ballot Harvesting, and its potential for fraud.

"In states where the practice is legal, volunteers or campaign workers can go directly to the homes of voters, collect the completed ballots, and drop them off en masse at polling places or election offices. In some states, ballot harvesters can be paid hourly for their work collecting ballots."

Critics fear that in states without restrictions on who can return a ballot on someone else's behalf, a third party could take advantage of the system by tampering with or discarding the ballots."

That's what happened in North Carolina with GOP candidate Mark Harris, see February 2019 above. And this fraudulent scheme by Democrat cheaters inTexas:

May 2020, Texas- "A two-year investigation uncovered an alleged ballot harvesting scheme in which people with prior forgery convictions picked up batches of mail-in ballots and a number of voted ballots were marked identically."

Unlike North Carolina, which only allows a close relative or legal guardian to deliver a ballot, 26 other states are more lenient.

"..26 states allow a voter to designate someone else to return their ballot for them, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. A dozen of those states limit the number of ballots that the designee can collect and return on behalf of voters. And 10 states allow the ballot to be returned by the voter's family member."

California expanded its ballot collection program in 2016 to allow any person — not just a relative or housemate — to collect an absentee ballot. Operatives can be paid for ballot harvesting in California but their compensation can't be calculated based on the number of ballots they collect.

One has to wonder in those incredibly close races in the 2018 mid-term elections in California if that's how some of the Democrats won traditionally GOP-held House seats.

Ballot Harvesting is also being implemented in Nevada for the November general election.

This is not a definitive list, but I didn't have the time to delve further, and I didn't want to turn this into a novel. Voter fraud is NOT a myth, as Democrats would have us believe. Issues with mail-in ballots are very real, and potentially disastrous depending on how close the race is between two candidates.

Vote.

Vote in person.
