I was watching Fox News this morning as I was making breakfast for my family and, low and behold, there was a piece on the controversy of mail-in balloting. They poo-poohed the concern about the potential fraud in massive postal voting. The whole report was a crock.
They narrowly focused on malfeasance once the ballots get to the county clerk, trumpeting all the checks in place there to prevent it. That’s NOT the real threat! Come on! The problem lies at the other end of the process: the ballots arriving at the homes.
Let me lay it out for our journos: we are seeing the end of the Australian ballot – i.e., the secret ballot. What’s that? It’s how we vote: go to a polling place, receive a ballot, and then vote in a booth. No one knows how you voted and no one can intimidate you into voting a particular way. Say goodbye to it.
Mail-in voting murders the freedom of the person to vote their conscience. Tens of ballots can arrive at a residence and plopped on the kitchen table … and who knows who’s filling them out. Do you really think that a signature underneath a perjury statement matters? Get real.
Anybody who has performed canvassing with voter registration rolls (they’re public documents by the way) will notice the single residence with 5, 6, or 8 registrations. What’s to stop one person voting 8 times? Answer: NOTHING!
Our media is a fount of ignorant reporting. No wonder opinion polls favor the monstrosity. The public isn’t informed of the ways that widespread voting-by-mail can produce one huge scam.
