2022 Midterms

Why are mail in ballots less secure? What is your reasoning?

Have you ever investigated the security of Colorado's mail in ballot program? SC posted videos of it some time ago, probably a couple years. It's impressive how secure and transparent it is.

AND... just because it takes longer to count ballots does not mean there is fraud. If you believe that, then provide your proof.

Do you have any idea how many people put their hands on a mailed in ballot? Ask yourself why most other countries don’t allow it.

If it was up to Democrats, they would probably like us to be able to text in our votes. You have to really trust the chain of custody, which I don’t. That’s my right no matter what your dementia ridden president tells us.

Local and national experts and election judges agree that Colorado’s mail-in voting system is safe, the AP reported. Bipartisan teams transport, verify, open, sort, count and store Colorado’s ballots in secure rooms with windows through which anyone can watch. Election judges and computers check each vote and signature against state registries before the ballots are tabulated and stashed by the hundreds in cardboard boxes, numbered and dated.

Example: In a nursing home, one of the workers was convicted of taking residents ballots, filling them out and mailing. Many of the residents never realized their ballots had even been received.

Just holding your nose and voting for the less loathsome!

I am always really suspicious of voters who fall in love with politicians. Even if they start out good, the process quickly corrupts them.

Look, Fred, look at the information I posted above about the security of the mail in ballot system here in Colorado. It won't take you very long, and if you are as open minded as you claim with your news reading habits, it might change your mind about the security of this system.

As your AP reference stated mail in ballots are sent to all "eligible" voters in the state of Colorado. It does not address the fact that thousands of ballots are sent to individuals that are no longer living in Colorado, dead, and those who prefer to vote on election day only to find that a mail in ballot was cast in their name.
Once the horse is out of the barn it does little good to lock the barn door.

I am not aware that mail in ballots are being returned improperly. Please provide your evidence that this is, or has happened.

You do know that Colorado residents have to sign their ballots? Signatures have to be verified.

Did you review the links I posted above? They may answer your questions and concerns.

MSNBC is currently running a story about an election director illegally obtaining (50) absentee ballots. They are being fired.
Does that make you feel secure about mail-in ballots in Milwaukee or Colorado for that matter? Government officials stealing ballots.
