"Voters across Brooklyn are reporting widespread issues with mislabeled absentee ballots — a problem the city Board of Elections has blamed on an outside vendor.


In numerous cases shared with The Post, residents across the borough received ballot return envelopes bearing the wrong name and address, sparking confusion over how to fix the error five weeks ahead of the election."

The Democrats are going to have a LOT of ballots rejected because they weren't filled out properly. Karma wins again. They shouldn't have scared their base into voting by mail instead of in person.

Stories like this, along with the one with the idiot who strong armed nursing home patients into completing their ballots and then recorded himself, is reason why this mail-in ballot scheme should be halted.

It should be announced that all ballots mailed in to this point will be rejected, and all voters should either plan to vote in person or apply for an absentee ballot because they are homebound or will be out of their voting jurisdiction. We can spread the voting days over three to spread out the crowds.

I'm with you on this. I see no reason why we can't do in person voting safely.

What is the person plans to either vote via mail or not at all? The mail ballots are looking pretty good then, huh? Maybe mail ballots help turn out the vote for some people that normally would sit on the sidelines.

They need to go to the polls. We’ve being doing it this way forever.

If people are too lazy to go to the polls, then they give up their vote. It’s their choice. If they have a legitimate reason they can’t get to the polls, they can apply for an absentee ballot.

But you’re saying that in order to make it as easy as possible for people to vote, we should be willing to accept that there will be mail-in ballot fraud (or error), thus throwing into question the legitimacy of the entire election. I disagree.

As it stands now, liberals are going door to door asking or “helping” people fill out a ballot that they didn’t even request. The vote should be an individual and sole one, with no third parties “assisting”.

Mail ballots are fraught with the opportunity for fraud. In person voting reduces that. People are reporting double ballots sent out and ballots for the deceased.

If we can riot safely, we can vote safely.
