Fox News conducts mail in ballot experiment.

Anyone else see it just now? They mailed out 500 envelopes the same size and weight of a real mail in ballot divided up among 5-6 big cities throughout US sent to the same destination. Of those 500 ballots:
11 didn’t reach destination:
9 still missing
2 returned
Total of 2.2% not delivered.
“Edit cause I did a shite job laying out the numbers”

It's a shame that democrats are the ones voting by mail 
Posted on 10/26/20 at 5:53 pm to HogBalls
That looks like 4.4%

That means of roughly 240,000,000 eligible voters, 5,280,000 votes would be unaccounted for.
No big deal, lmao

On a large scale 2.2% is thousands if not hundreds of thousands of votez

What do you think the total of folks receiving mail-in-ballots choose to vote in person?
Considering over/under is 2% I'd think it's higher percentage for in person...

Just going by the 124 million people who cast ballots in 2016, that’s 2,728,000 votes not delivered. 54,560 per state.
That’s unacceptable.

A very flawed experiment.
Bloomberg has been spending up to $1000 each to buy felons the right to vote in Florida.
This establishes the value of a vote to (in one sense) be >$1000.
Now take 500 envelopes, put 10 $100 bills in each. Then write on the envelope "THIS ENVELOPE CONTAINS $1000 CASH."
NOW see how many of those envelopes reach their final destination!

Don’t forget there will lots of deceased democrats voting 3 days after Election Day to cancel out the ballots that never arrived.

The problem is that the mail never stops. It just keeps coming and coming and coming, there's never a let-up. It's relentless. Every day it piles up more and more and more. And you gotta get it out but the more you get it out the more it keeps coming in. And then the bar code reader breaks and it's Publishers Clearing House day.

Your math is off

How many electoral votes were lost in the mail?

You’re right. I didn’t do the math, just copied Fox News numbers.
Don’t trust the mail boys! Get your arse out and vote!

It won't matter. According to FOX, the Polls are not wrong, and it's all but over.

The calculation is that despite the higher failure rate of mail ballots, increased turnout by mail will counter those ballots not making it or being rejected.
As always we find out next week.

Don't surrender so easily.

My response to them was, "Are boomers and Republicans the only ones that know how to mail a ballot or stand in line to vote?"
I'd always get, "Who can trust the post office? Covid, man, Covid! I don't want to die from voting!"
