@mystery-ak @Cyber Liberty@Once-LerWhen a voter requests a mail ballot, the county courthouse person dealing with mail ballots, mails a ballot, and each ballot has a separate number and that number is assigned to that person. If the ballot comes in with a different number on it, it is rejected.
When a person marks his/her ballot; it is put in the ballot envelope, then put in the mailing envelope. It can only get to the election center these ways:
The voter delivers it to the election center, or sends it by US Mail, or by a company who transports mail, such as UPS, FedEx,etc. Any ballot getting there another way, is rejected.
The article says:
"Videos are surfacing online of a single voter carrying numerous ballots. Postal workers were seen leaving some ballots sitting out in building lobbies. And hundreds of filled out ballots were found by postal workers in single mailboxes in Paterson, suggesting a possible vote bundling operation which election experts say is a crime. In one case, officials said more than 300 Paterson city ballots were found in a single mailbox in an entirely different town: Haledon."
The above actions, plus the woman who said she did not get a mail ballot but someone filled one out for her, sound like someone is printing fake ballots and filling out people's names. The above does not mean those ballots were counted. They may have gotten to election center, but every mail ballot is examined before it is counted. If the ballot does not have the proper election number on it, even if the examiners let the ballot go through, the machine will kick it out and it is not counted, but is saying someone is illegally printing fake ballots.
The District Attorney of every county is required to investigate election fraud. Those fake ballots were not counted, but the District Attorney has a case to solve.
"...single voter carrying numerous ballots"
A person cannot carry more than their one ballot to turn in to election headquarters. Those ballots would not be accepted if this person tried to do that.
"Postal workers were seen leaving some ballots sitting out in building lobbies." That is a job for the District Attorney and the Post Office of that county.
"And hundreds of filled out ballots were found by postal workers in single mailboxes in Paterson, suggesting a possible vote bundling operation which election experts say is a crime."
These ballots are fakes and will not have the right numbers on them UNLESS they stole them from the courthouse. How likely is it hundreds of ballots were stolen from the courthouse? Not likely. Those ballots will be kicked out by the machine OR found out another way when those ballots are checked by the Early Voting Ballot Board who examines the mailing envelope and the ballot envelope.
Remember, each county runs their elections. You live in a county, who did you vote for to run your county?
