Beyond what has happened this past week and what WILL happen over the next several weeks, here's a dispassionate look at the problems with mail-in voting. Remember: this is something pushed hard by Election-Fraud Central in Wisconsin, a/k/a the Wisconsin Elections Commission.
...The first problem with mail ballot voting is that the election official (usually the county clerk) loses chain of custody of the ballot. Once the ballot is sent to the voter, the election officials have no idea what happens to it. It can be passed from person to person. Other individuals can fill out the ballot and no one would ever know....
...The second problem with mail ballot voting is the election officials lose the ability to control the environment in which the ballot is completed....
...A third problem with mail ballot voting is ballot harvesting. This is where a third party or organization collects voted ballots and delivers them to the election official for counting. It’s called “harvesting” because these third parties will typically collect numerous ballots at once and then drop them off. Now, not only has the election official lost chain of custody of the ballot, but so has the voter!...
...A fourth problem occurs once the voted ballot reaches the election official. Now, the ballot must be taken out of the envelope, registered as being returned, placed into an electronic counting machine and then stored in a safe location in the event it needs to be recounted. This process involves several steps and requires strict procedures to be put in place and enforced to maintain security—both physical and electronic security measures to prevent hacking. It has been my experience that election officials routinely block poll watchers from observing their actions with respect to this process. Barricades, police tape and chains are erected that renders poll watching essentially pointless....
Gov. Walker reminds us that HE "wrote the rules" surrounding processing mail-in ballots in Wisconsin and HE assures us that there can NOT be a problem.
OK, then, Gov. Enjoy your time in D.C. at that $600++K/year job.
