How would voter ID prevent something that blatant?
The only way to prevent any form of voter ID is to identify the voter. Clearly the easiest way to do that with in person voting is to use photo ID, it becomes more complex with absentee voting and ultimately would require fingerprints on the ballot or some other form of biometric identification.

Mail in and absentee voting is strife with fraud.
Stiffing the ballot.
You should see the nurses at nursing homes, around at early voting time.
They mine votes from the patients.
This is a duplicate thread, but how many of those ballots were found to be false? This primary election already happened. There is nothing illegal for someone to drop off signed and sealed ballots for people who are unable to make it to the ballot drop off.
That would be like blaming a father of voter fraud because he took every one's ballot in the family and dropped them off at the same time so they each didn't have to do it.

What you describe is illegal in my state.
It is considered stuffing the ballot. Another reason for voter ID. To be positive the person voting is that person registered.
The only mail in ballots in my state are military stationed overseas.

Texas doesn't allow mail in ballots except for a few limited reasons. Also does Texas even have ballot boxes where they can drop them off or is it strictly mail in only?
So in other words, it wouldn't be considered stuffing the ballot in your state because ballot drop offs don't exist in your state.
And then there's a calibration error on the machines in Illinois, resulting in attempts to vote for a Republican candidate being changed to votes for the Democratic candidate. Wonder how that problem managed to go undetected?

The article says nothing about if it is that one machine or if it is all the machines. This is one of the reasons why I am not for this move to technology. There is too much risk for error to happen, accidentally or intentionally.

The Democratic Party "speaking heads" keep uttering the same old mantra, to whit: There is no voter fraud and photo I.D. would deprive the poor from voting".
Balderdash!
The Democrats want to leave the system as is because it benefits them (they know damn well that the fraudulent voters vote Democratic.)
Whenever a senior Democrat holds a public meeting no one is admitted unless they can prove who they are (with a photo on a government approved document i.e: driver's licence being the most common.
Voter I.D. has been approved in Texas (I don't know about other states) hopefully this will become accepted throughout the land.
If the country is to survive as a true democracy voters must have complete confidence in the integrity of the (voting) system. Photo I.D. would go a very long way to accomplish this. As it is many (too many) eligible voters feel the system is rigged and stay home.
