A supposed republican state delegate near me posted a picture on twitter today with the caption “Counting provisional ballots, Democracy in action.”
I posted back that provisional voting and same day registration (Just approved in Maryland) were sure recipes for voter fraud. Sadly, useful idiots like her go along with that nonsense thinking that their Democrat “friends across the aisle” have best motives in mind and aren’t just cheating their butts off.
Provisional voting and same day registration does not give anyone enough time to check eligibility. Dems know that. A pox on any Republican who supports that, because it destroys the integrity of the vote.
How can there reasonably be so many provisional ballots? California reports having ordered over one million?!?!
When you vote by mail like we do in Oregon, there are no provisional ballots and no same day registration.
Although motor voter seems ripe for registering illegals, Oregon does give undocumented persons licenses. You have to provide a certified birth cert to get a license for citizens and legal residents have to present their passport and visa.
Since the ballots dribble in over two weeks, the elections office has time to validate the signatures and get them trayed up for counting at the end of election day. The envelopes aren’t opened till then.
The outer envelopes are barcoded next to the signature and they are scanned in, signature checked and marked as received. You can check online to confirm receipt of your ballot.
This makes it all that much harder to slip fraudulent ballots into the vote count.
I truly believe voting at numerous polling places just introduces to damn many ballot handlers and dark corners for nefarious activities to be a viable system anymore.
The crap that takes place during actual counting can be addressed by lawyers, cameras and citizen watchdog groups.
I personally think ballot counting should be done with live webcam broadcasting at all times.
