How can this happen?
I have a box at the local UPS store and have all my mail delivered there. Because the USPS out in the country where I live sucks.
So, if I were applying for voter registration and the clerk asked for my address, I’d give my UPS address because it’s the only address I use. Looking at the address, you’d never know it was a UPS store. It’s a legitimate street address.
If the clerk asked if that’s where I live, I’d say, no that’s a UPS store. My physical street address is.... But I’d do that only if asked.
Then should not they be allowed to register ONLY at their PRIMARY residence?
I believe I read somewhere that a bunch of fraudlent tax refunds went to one address. How hard can it be to write a line of code that will flag when more than 4 people attempt to get a tax return or register to vote at a single address?
This is just what they’ve uncovered. Heartbreaking.
Don’t know for sure. So I’m not going to make a stink about something g of which I am uncertain.

That was an address in Atlanta, if my memory serves me correctly.... It was multiple millions of dollars with something like 13,000 checks sent there...
I believe to this day is was a SEIU address...
Old friends. I hunt their land for deer each year. Occasionally we get political at that point we must stop or walk away. It got testy a few times.
Try to stay away from politics.
Didn't say I knew for sure. Just a guess.
The 2012 election was stolen. No doubt. They register voters, call and ask if they plan to vote, and vote for the non-committals. All the while using the IRS to stop conservative fundraising.
There will never be another legitimate election.
You’re asking your question from the perspective of someone whom sounds honest, with no intention to skirt the law or game the system by voting multiple times. Presumably, you just wouldn’t do it. I don’t know your reasons, and frankly I don’t need nor want to. Maybe you are a stickler for following the law. Maybe you don’t want to be caught breaking it. Maybe you like the idea of everyone voting once and the outcome is the outcome.
Not everyone has that kind of perspective. Some start out with the idea of overcoming the law and they believe they are doing a great thing by ensuring their candidate wins and if they can vote 6 times, there are any number of convoluted justifications for doing so. And I don’t mean to sound preachy, but there are stacks and stacks of “end justifies the means” types out there and they view their continued success within the system as a result of subverting it and working to game it.
Where you wouldn’t consider accosting and robbing an elderly person even for a microsecond, others would consider such a person an easy mark.
Most suburban and rural polling places are schoolrooms with four tables shoved together and some machines or booths dragged in and staffed by volunteers or $15/hour retirees, they’re not Fort Knox. So they are easy marks who those inclined to game the system. For some reason, many of us just don’t have that instinct.
Their new slogan: ‘The UPS Store, your new home address for voter fraud.’
What can Brown do for you?
Thanks for the compliments and the sermon.
I, along with the other two hundred or so folks that have a box at the UPS store, will all answer the same when asked for our address.
The clerks doing the registration should be asking for a physical address, not a mailing address.
I would think RR delivery people would notice high volume of ballots going to one address but realized it happens in the big cities, unabated. However, country folk also have more than a modicum of common sense. If a pile of mail goes to one address, chances are the carrier isn’t going to inspect the address on each piece of mail he/she jams in the box, we get a lot of mail to people here who are long-gone. Ow, my head. ;)
I’d say not too hard, considering all the surveillance technology the gov’t possesses. But I’m sure it boils down to ‘gotta wanna’ before something like that happens...
Are the “voters” in question party affiliated?
If they registered fraudulently they would most likely register as a member of the opposite party since you can vote for whomever you want in the general election.
In CA the registration form has a space for a physical address (required) and a mailing address (optional.)
If you’re homeless, you can register with an approximate location and use general delivery as your mailing address.
If you’re properly registered at a real residence and then become homeless, you can continue to use that address until you register again.
