When you mail in your vote, you share your vote with your mailman.

You vote.

Then your mailman votes for you.

Then the sorter at the office votes for you.

and so on.

Finally, the election judges vote for you when they compare your signature, which recent local mail in elections say is a 10% chance they decide you don't get a vote.

When I vote, I don't want to share my vote.

Is it any stretch to believe that the mailman might not deliver your vote on purpose?

True story, I'm not on any Trump mailing lists, but the Trump campaign directed two mailings to my house a month or two apart. I could see them on the USPS informed delivery app.

The only two pieces of mail I've never received in my mailbox are those two.

If I vote in person and also a ballot shows up with my name on it in the mail, do they just pick which one to count? Count both? Count neither?

There are differences between universal vote-by-mail and absentee voting. This is not one of them. Accordingly, if you think this is the flaw in vote by mail, you should be against absentee voting.

I have informed delivery and was not properly getting my mail.

I asked the black female carrier about the missing mail and she went postal.

Some of my other neighbors had the same issue.

I kept reporting the missing mail to the post office with no results.

I put a hold on my mail and picked it up once a week.

They asked me why I kept renewing my hold each week and I said it was the only way to insure proper delivery.

When my home delivery carrier changed, I renewed home delivery.

I have very little faith that any votes for Trump will be consistently processed in favor of Trump by US mail.

I give Scott Adams full credit for first spotlighting this months ago:

If you give your mail-in ballot to a friend to drop in the mailbox, you didn't actually vote.

Your friend voted twice.

Once with his own vote and once by deciding whether or not to put your vote in the mail.

Ya, it was the oddest thing.

The first time it occurred I thought these things happen. The second time it happened I reported it.

I'm not giving anybody any money but that's bush league BS.

For the first time in its history, in open violation of the Hatch Act, the Post Office employees' union has come out in support of a political candidate,Biden. And that union is one of the most liberal, corrupt unions in existence. Note that one part of the Democrat's proposed bill is more funding for the P.O. That is the source of all the fraud concerns by the GOP.

The fake conservative talk show host Eric Erickson said on his show tonight that it shouldn’t be that big a deal if the DOJ has an observer at all counting precincts. . Not one caller had the brain power to ask him to opine on the possibility that the votes (especially in heavy right leaning areas) might never make it to the post office to begin with.

The only way to make it even reasonable would be to have a local drop box to slide it into and manned 24/7 by an armed Brinks guard.The ballots are transported, under federal agent escort to a counting station on Election Day. And have a Republican and a Democrat observer at every counting station to observe.

I actually feel sorry for the dead people. How are they going to continue to vote Democrat if they now have to mail-in their ballot?

Either you live in my neighborhood, or this problem is more widespread than most of us realize.

So, do you think active duty military deployed overseas should fly home to vote in person, or would you prefer them not vote?

“Citizens who vote at home, at nursing homes, at the workplace, or in church are more susceptible to pressure, overt and subtle, or to intimidation. Vote buying schemes are far more difficult to detect when citizens vote by mail.” — A Jimmy Carter-chaired committee on election reform

Suck on it.
