Take a close look at your mail-in ballot application. What do you notice?
You can have your ballot sent to a different address than the one listed on your official voter registration. I’m sure it’s fine…
We are told this feature accommodates college students and temporary workers, but it creates several avenues for fraud:
- Ballot harvesting: Political operatives could collect and fill out ballots for unsuspecting voters.
- Identity theft: Malicious actors might intercept ballots by requesting them to be sent to addresses they control.
- Vote buying: The ability to redirect ballots could facilitate schemes where third parties purchase and fill out votes.

Here’s a little taste from the article:
There’s also no way to verify the legitimacy of the vote with mail-in ballots. Once a ballot is redirected, there’s no way to ensure it reaches the intended voter or is filled out by that individual. And it makes a true audit of the vote impossible.
Some people suggest enhanced signature matching or requiring additional identification for redirected ballots will solve the problem.
How confident are you that signatures are adequately matched against the voter registration signatures on file? And additional identification? I was told voter ID laws are racist. Good luck with that.
The current system prioritizes convenience over security. Here are a few recent examples where mail-in voter fraud occurred:
Two women, including an elected official, were charged with voter fraud in a 2023 municipal election in Lawrence, Massachusetts.
In New York City in 2023, six people were charged with absentee ballot fraud related to a 2023 City Council primary election in Queens. Prosecutors allege they cast 23 absentee ballots without the voters’ permission.
In 2020, there were a few reported incidents, including:
- Nine discarded military ballots were discovered in Pennsylvania
- Some ballots were found in a ditch in Wisconsin
- A mail carrier in New Jersey was charged with dumping nearly 100 election ballots
[Them] “These cases are so rare, it’s not enough to change the outcome of an election.”
How many times have we heard that?
Just like there is no such thing as “a little bit pregnant,” there is no such thing as “a little bit of fraud.” Elections are either 100% secure and legitimate, or they are fraudulent.
