I suspect you will be able to buy all the ballots you want on Ebay. It will quickly establish a market price.

Nevada just passed the mail in ballot legislation three days ago?

They managed to get ballots out and some of them returned already?

This isn't fraud, this isn't sketchy.

Come on now -- this i not rocket science. A state could say that all voters should have received their ballot by Septmber 30th. If they haven't they should go online and check to confirm they are on voter list, have the right address. THEN........You notify and get a ballot and vote.

Nowadays if you move and voter lists aren't updated -- when you show up at the poll, aren't on the list you give a provisional ballot....and

58% of the returned ballots were found to be 'inactive' --- death, moving, etc .
42% were active.......and obviously those individuals did not look for a ballot.




Voter lists aren't perfect. I moved in 2010 from Georgia to South Carolina. I registered in South Carolina and was on the voter lists here for 2016. After the story popped up that Trump or Ivanka were on two lists because of moving.....I can't remember who it was....I checked -- and lo and behold I was on a list in Georgia. Thing is -- I no longer had a Georgia ID so I would never have been able to vote there.

So --- say Georgia had decided to do mail in -- I would have been sent a ballot in Georgia.




(I have subsequently notified Georgia that I was no longer a resident of the state.)

For the anti- Breitbart crowd...here's another article.

https://mynews4.com/news/local/about...res-06-24-2020

It explains all the quirks that can happen.

Just remember --- there are all kinds of issues with voter lists, provisional ballots, etc. with votes at polling station.

And you cannot object to Nevada having mail in balloting while proomting Florida having mail in balloting.

Your solution to voter fraud is the honor system?
