It would be deliciously ironic if Democrats shoot themselves in the foot by pushing mail in ballots so hard but having a voter base that isn't competent enough to fill them out correctly.

So let's say 40% more Dems vote by mail than GOP, with a 2% rejection rate. That's 0.8% of the vote that they lost.

If this is by party registration it means nothing.

Reminds me of the Florida 2000 vote.

Dem instructions for their dumbass voters were written in a way that caused high amounts of over votes in some counties because they didn’t look at the ballot before writing them.

Said instructions were “vote on every page”, yet the presidential ballot had two pages.

The point is that most of those democrat voters would not have voted because on election day they would have been mainlining heroin or popping a cap in another BLM supporter. Voting by mail spreads out the time in which white SJWs and black community organizers can track down the gangstas and crack whores, and pay them walking around money to sign something.

dont worry NC Dems control the election board, at the end of the day those votes and more will stand. Especially if Cooper needs them to hold on

This is why the Dims already have 600 lawyers ready to roll.

I saw it on Twitter on a post that didn't have an article with it, but a few closely related ones showing ballots by African Americans are being rejected at a 5X rate compared to whites:

There were huge numbers of rejections during primaries, specifically in dem primaries of course.

It will be very interesting to see how many are rejected during the general, especially for those states that didn't have widespread mail voting during the primaries. One would think it will be a lot, but something tells me a lot fewer dem ballots will be rejected when the opponent is Trump instead of Bernie.

Where's that d-bag Forever Gator? He was in here yesterday talking about the stupidity of Trump voters while conveniently ignoring the idiocy of his beloved minorities.

Reading is fundamental - for some folks and for some folks it's not.

Thanks but I highly doubt that information is reliable.

How does Newsweek know which ballots were completed by black voters? I can't imagine there's a place on the ballot asking the voter to identify his race.

Sounds like more fake news being spouted in order to stir up voter anger.

NC BoE... all appointed by Gov Pooper... says you don't need a verified signature and they can be counted 9 days after election.

The State apparently releases that info.

quote:

In every election, a small percentage of mail-in ballots get rejected. But this election is likely to have a whole lot of mail-in ballots. And in an election where a record number of voters are expected to cast their ballots by mail, you’re likely to hear a whole lot about ballots that don’t count, especially because voters of color have ballots rejected at a higher rate than white voters.

It’s already happening. In North Carolina, absentee ballots have already been sent back and the state has been updating statistics on those ballots daily. As of September 17, Black voters’ ballots are being rejected at more than four times the rate of white voters, according to the state’s numbers.x
Rejected ballots are those classified as “witness info incomplete” and “signature different.” The racial breakdown includes all voters who identified as Black or white and who did not mark their ethnicity as Hispanic.

Black voters have mailed in 13,747 ballots, with 642 rejected, or 4.7 percent. White voters have cast 60,954 mail-in ballots, with 681 — or 1.1 percent — rejected. In addition, 434 ballots cast by white voters and 127 ballots cast by Black voters were marked “spoiled,” which can mean literally spoiled or something as simple as a voter informing the election office that the address they had requested a ballot to is wrong. (These are a tiny portion of the votes from one state, so obviously we have a long way to go before we know the full landscape of ballot rejection rates.)

So Democrats can blame it on mail in voting problems, then push to eliminate all requirements and just have a twitter poll in 2024.

That premise would also apply to the person(s) assessing the ballot.
