Public Legal Interest Foundation (PILF) research shows that 28.4 million mail-in ballots have gone missing in the last four election cycles. In the 2016 and 2018 elections, a total of about 16.4 million mail-in ballots went missing.
Currently, Democrats are lobbying for nationwide mail-in voting for the November presidential election — a move that would deliver ballots to an estimated 24 million ineligible voters.
The plan is being bankrolled by organizations funded by billionaire George Soros.
Three forms of fraud occur wherever mail-in voting is allowed.
1. Double voting. Kansas Secretary of State, Kris W. Kobach, prosecuted election crimes. He said the most frequent form of voter fraud was double-voting—in which the voter votes in two or more states through mail-in voting.
2. Ballot harvesting. Mail-in voting facilitates ballot harvesting—whereby someone purporting to deliver the completed ballots on behalf of voters only delivers those ballots believed to favor a particular candidate.
Since typically only 50% of registered voters vote, ballot harvesting allows votes to be cast on behalf of people who normally don't participate in elections.
In the 2018 midterm elections, Democrats turned in thousands of harvested ballots in California, whose impact reportedly helped reverse six California congressional elections that had Republicans winning.
In Michigan in 2016, Democrats tried to submit thousands of ballots after the election that were harvested in Detroit for Hillary Clinton. So many additional ballots were submitted that there were thousands more votes than the number of actual registered votes tallied on the voting machines.
Many harvesters have gotten smart. They now mail the completed ballots one at a time as if the voter were mailing them.
3. Falsely voting another person’s ballot. A third form of fraud through mail-in voting occurs when someone fraudulently requests another person’s mail-in ballot. The fraudster then intercepts the ballot at the real voter’s mailbox, or he has the ballot sent to a phony address. He can then fraudulently vote the ballot and send it in. Alternatively, this form of fraud can be used without intercepting the ballot. The fraudster simply requests mail-in ballots for others to increase voter turnout in certain neighborhoods.
All three of the above forms of fraud occur in the vast majority of states that allow voters to vote by mail.
Three states have all-mail voting and voter fraud is widespread in those three states: Colorado, Oregon, and Washington.
4. Massive fraud in states that have all-mail voting.
In these states will "all mail" voting, for every election every registered voter is sent a ballot.
The results have been catastrophic.
Deceased voters, people who have moved, non-citizens, and duplicate registrations, an enormous numbers of extra ballots are sent to invalid names on the voter rolls.
The Pew Center estimated that the voter rolls nationwide contain 24 million invalid names. As a result, nearly 250 counties have more names on the voter rolls than there are eligible voters living in the county.
As a result, hundreds of thousands of extra ballots are sent out. When these additional ballots arrive in their mail box, many voters are tempted to fill them out and send them in. It is a massive invitation to fraud.
Democrats in Congress have been calling for new federal law that would mandate all-mail balloting in all 50 states. Such a law would guarantee voter fraud on a scale never seen before.
For absentee mail in ballots, the solution is for state legislatures to take steps to secure mail-in ballots (see Note at bottom of page regarding absentee voting).
Recent news reports on voter fraud:
1. Some 23,000 dead registered voters could receive mail-in ballots to vote in the upcoming 2020 presidential election due to a new law by Gov. Gavin Newsom of California. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/06/25/court-brief-23k-dead-registered-voters-could-get-mail-in-ballots-in-california/
2. Mass scale mail-in voting “absolutely opens the floodgates to fraud.” Partial transcript: "
"... when governments start adopting practices like mail-in ballots that open the floodgates of potential fraud, then people’s confidence in the outcome of the election is going to be undermined. And that could take the country to a very dark place, if we lose confidence in the outcomes of our elections. ...it absolutely opens the floodgates to fraud. Those things are delivered into mailboxes. They can be taken out.
" ...right now, a foreign country could print up tens of thousands of counterfeit ballots, and be very hard for us to detect which was the right and which was the wrong ballot. So, I think it can — it can upset and undercut the confidence in the integrity of our elections. We should tighten them up right now.

3. Hundreds of Michigan residents have responded to state Sen. Ruth Johnson’s request for evidence of ballot applications sent to dead, noncitizen, or underage “voters”.
$4.5 million of CARES Act funds were used to usurp the power of local clerks to automatically send unrequested ballot applications to all 7.7 million Michigan registered voters.
That could have a dramatic impact on the 2020 election, as President Trump won Michigan by .3 percent, or less than 11,000 votes. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/06/19/hundreds-of-michigan-residents-turn-over-unsolicited-ballot-applications-sent-to-dead-noncitizen-underage-voters/
4. Rep. Rodney Davis (R-IL) stated that mail-in voting and ballot harvesting are “ripe for corruption.” Mail-in voting can lead to fraud, abuse, and ballot harvesting, which could allow political operatives and others in states such as California to collect voters’ ballots and hand them in en masse.
Davis noted that Washington, DC; Pennsylvania, and Indiana had reports of voters that applied several times for mail-ballots, duplicate ballots, ballots that were not signed, among other issues.
Voters in D.C., Maryland, and Rhode Island reportedly did not receive their mail-in ballots or struggled to submit requests in those locations.
In Maryland, the mail-in primary and special election problems ended up in 75,000 ballots disappearing from the state’s website, ballots contain ED inaccurate postage instructions, ballots arrived weeks late, and multiple ballots were mailed to the same household.
Rushing towards a mail-in voting system before the November elections will cause “tremendous problems.”

5. A motion has been filed for a preliminary injunction to bar the enforcement of California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive order mandating that unrequested and unneeded mail-in ballots be sent to all of the state’s registered voters.
Newsom’s order will lead to “serious disputes later, possibly having a nationwide impact.”
Newsom’s ‘vote-by-mail’ mandate will mail millions of ballots to dirty voting lists in violation of the law could cause a constitutional conflagration over the results of the 2020 elections.

6. Public Interest Legal Foundation President J. Christian Adams testified to Congress about the dangers of vote by mail. Among them are a lack of transparency, where the poor and vulnerable are voted by third parties. He saw it firsthand in the case of United States v. Ike Brown, where ballot harvesters exploited mail voting to steal votes. https://www.leagle.com/decision/2007934494fsupp2d4401892
Federal data also show vote by mail has serious problems. Data from the United States Election Assistance Commission show that over the last four federal elections, over 28,000,000 million ballots were mailed out and are missing. The ballots never came back and were never cast. https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2020/06/11/j-christian-adams-at-politifact-the-truth-is-often-missing/
7. About 100,000 mail-in ballot applications were returned as “undeliverable” in Rhode Island’s recent primary election. About one-in-eight mail-in ballot applications that were sent out, unsolicited, by Rhode Island state officials were returned.
This means that in the June 2 election, about 12.5 percent of the nearly 780,000 mail-in ballot applications sent to registered voters had to be sent back.
Breitbart News reported more than 2.1 million mail-in ballots have been deemed undeliverable in the 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018 elections. Since 2012, more than 28 million mail-in ballots have gone missing.
Baltimore, Maryland recently experienced issues with their predominately mail-in voting election.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, officials admitted that duplicate ballots were mailed out to registered voters.

8. Automated mailing of ballots to all persons on inaccurate voter rolls “is the definition of voter fraud,” said Steve Scalise (R-LA), critiquing Democrat proposals to standardize mail-in voting. “Democrats are going to use it to win this election and maybe future elections,” he added.

9. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, officials have admitted that duplicate ballots were mailed out to registered voters. The duplicate mail-in ballot issues come as Allegheny County officials have reached a settlement with the Public Interest Legal Foundation to clean up its voter rolls, which include dead people, voter registrations duplicates, registered voters who claim to be 100-years-old and over, and registered voters who are missing dates of birth.
Still ongoing is Judicial Watch’s lawsuit against the state of Pennsylvania for reportedly having more than 800,000 inactive voters on its voter rolls.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/05/28/pennsylvania-officials-admit-duplicate-ballots-were-mailed-out-to-voters/
10. State officials and lawmakers from California, Texas, Pennsylvania and West Virginia are raising concerns over the threat that non-citizens on the voter rolls pose to the U.S. elections.
The issue is most pronounced in California where there is a voter fraud and election integrity epidemic.
In Pennsylvania and West Virginia, there have been reported instances of DMV staff offering registrations to non-citizens.
In California, illegal immigrants are automatically put on the voter rolls.

11. Dead people remain on the state of Virginia’s voter rolls. A court brief filed by the Public Legal Interest Foundation (PILF) alleges grave issues with Virginia’s voter rolls just as a lawsuit in the state seeks to strip witness requirements on mail-in ballots.
PILF research shows that 28.4 million mail-in ballots have gone missing in the last four election cycles dating back to 2012. In the 2016 and 2018 elections, a total of about 16.4 million mail-in ballots went missing.

13. Oregon's ballot scandal was documented by a Facebook group joined by 2,400 people called My Party Was Changed. Despite declaring their party membership, people received ballots only for the non-partisan races. And it was too late to fix the problem.
Others say they were sent a ballot for the Democratic candidates even though they are registered Republican. Others claim they received multiple ballots.
And, perhaps most disturbing of all, noncitizens are automatically being registered to vote because of the state' new motor voter law.

14. The 2005 Carter-Baker Commission noted that “absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud…. Absentee balloting is vulnerable to abuse in several ways: blank ballots mailed to the wrong address or to a large residential building might get intercepted. 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.”
An even bigger issue: the sweeping collapse of voter registration lists around the country and its impact on clean elections.
Judicial Watch is the national leader in election reform, fighting for enforcement of the National Voter Registration Act and is investigating NVRA abuses across the country, including in California, Maryland, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Colorado.
A Judicial Watch investigation uncovered 1.6 million inactive voters on Los Angeles County voting rolls. Los Angeles County had more voter registrations on its rolls than actual voting age citizens in the county, and that the entire state had a voter registration rate of 101% of age-eligible citizens.
A study by the Stanford Law School concluded that vote-by-mail raises “a variety of concerns.” Among them: at-home voters are susceptible to pressure from family members; votes get lost in the mail; requested ballots don’t always make it to the voter; and problems with signature identification and verifications.

NOTE:
Regarding absentee voting:
Kansas added three security elements to mail-in voting that prevent voter fraud. First, the person requesting the absentee ballot must either send in a photocopy of a qualifying photo ID or write his complete driver’s license number on the ballot-request form.
Second, every voter’s signature has to be matched against the signature that the state has on file for that person. If the signature doesn’t match, the voter is contacted and allowed to try signing again. If the signature still doesn’t match, no ballot is sent out. Third, in a separate law, Kansas also deterred ballot harvesting by requiring the voter of a delivered ballot to sign the envelope and authorize a specific, named person to deliver the ballot on his behalf.
It is essential that the other states enact these reforms to make mail-in ballots more secure. If all states were to take these three steps, the mail-in ballot fraud that President Trump rightly pointed out could be avoided. But the time to act is now.
Currently, Democrats are lobbying for nationwide mail-in voting for the November presidential election — a move that would deliver ballots to an estimated 24 million ineligible voters.
