About 16.4 million mail-in ballots went missing in the 2016 and 2018 elections, data provided to Breitbart News reveals.
The data from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission and the Election Administration and Voting Surveys for 2016 and 2018, provided by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), shows that between the 2016 and 2018 elections, roughly 16.4 million ballots mailed to registered voters went missing.
In the 2018 election, about 42.4 million ballots were mailed to registered voters. Of those mailed, more than one million were undeliverable, more than 430,000 were rejected, and nearly 10.5 million went missing.
The 2016 election showed similar discrepancies. That year, about 41.6 million ballots were mailed to registered voters. Of those mailed, more than 568,000 were undeliverable, nearly 320,000 were rejected, and close to six million went missing.
“Putting the election in the hands of the United States Postal Service would be a catastrophe. In 2018 and 2016, there were 16 million missing and misdirected ballots,” PILF President J. Christian Adams said in a statement. He went on:
These represent 16 million opportunities for someone to cheat. Absentee ballot fraud is the most common; the most expensive to investigate; and can never be reversed after an election. The status quo was already bad for mail balloting. The proposed emergency fix is worse.
Los Angeles County, California, for instance, had nearly 1.4 million mail-in ballots go missing in the 2018 election, while Maricopa County, Arizona saw 408,000 mail-in ballots go missing.

Fauci is out there now saying people won’t be safe in November unless we have mail in voting.
He’s been ‘activated.’
The article does not say a single thing about what “went missing” means.
Is it they were mailed and never delivered, delivered but never used, used and mailed back but never arrived back to be counted or arrived back but were never counted.
The article mentions a survey so I suspect these numbers were arrived at by extrapolating from a small sample.
And a awful lot of conservatives. Probably tilts conservative as a whole.
1.4 million ballots went ‘Missing’ in the liberal enclave of Los Angeles County? Wonder if they’re calling a ballot which wasn’t returned as being missing.
Kinda a key thing to know. The registrar there called every ballot where someone chose not to cast a vote on one of the propositions or in one race as spoiled. There’s no none of the above option. Judges races are the most common to be skipped by voters there.
Dave Bratt (R) lost to Abigail Spanberger (Communist), in our district. The leftists at The Government Postal Service failed to deliver Bratt’s literature to our home until one week AFTER the election.
Tell me about Publisher’s Clearinghouse.
Ballots in a Democrat trunk, key was lost. Locksmith closed
I have sent for a mail-in ballot, but since my locality has early voting, I will probably go vote in person rather than mail my ballot. Then my mail-in ballot will become a “missing” ballot, even though I voted.
Mailed it in plenty of time to arrive on time. Came back the day before his birthday with a notation on one of their yellow labels "Unable to deliver as addressed." Took it back to the post office with the complete address in roman letters added and was told "Maybe they moved." No, I told them, it never left the United States, I was there last year and know the address.
Postal clerk tried to claim that wouldn't have happened and gave it an uninterested toss back into the outgoing mail bin.
Use online voting.
I wonder what an audit of the zip codes/voting patterns would reveal.
16.4 million Republican ballots went missing in two elections?
I agree. I have been contacting GOP reps for years literally begging them to do something, at least pass laws that force election boards to cleanse voter rolls on a regular basis, pass laws to limit the use of mail-ins ballots to people who have no vote in person.
Well over a decade ago, a local reporter pulled a random 700 voters from the rolls of Davidson County TN and found 25 - 30 illegal registration - registered felons, yes dead people, people registered at a business address, a few people they couldn’t find living at the address provided. I think one of the dead people had voted 7 times since dying.
The reporter Phil Harris, even sent in a registration card for his dog Blackie and received a voting card back. He confronted the commissioner of elections and asked how this could happen, it was his dog. His only response was that what Harris did was illegal and there was no way to not have registered Blackie Harris to vote, as he had followed the proper registration procedure.
And what have these GOP reps told me, there’s little they can do, the Rats find a judge, scream that even cleaning up the rolls isn’t 100% fool proof and someone might accidentally be removed. That’s all a lib judge needs to hear & it’s thrown out.
That’s a cop out, Tom Fitton at Judicial Watch recently, after many court appearances forced CA to clean up and remove over 1 million illegal registrations from their rolls. The GOP could do more, if they really wanted to.
Yes, we are going to pay a price in November. A lot of fraud decided close election in 2018.
