Nearly 20,000 Mail-In Ballots In NY Could Be Discarded: Hans von Spakovsky
Hans von Spakovsky joined The Tipping Point on One America News to discuss how postmarking issues could result in nearly 20,000 ballots in New York being tossed out. Von Spakovsky explains that this is one of many examples demonstrating the weaknesses of using a mail-in voting system.
Simply put, the absentee ballot system introduces huge blind spots in the chain of custody. It is in these blind spots where abuses often occur.
Moving to all-mail elections would be dangerous. Ironically, it would likely disenfranchise many voters—the opposite outcome of what proponents of such a change desire.
Hans von Spakovsky is an authority on a wide range of issues – including civil rights, civil justice, the First Amendment, immigration, the rule of law and government reform — as a senior legal fellow in The Heritage Foundation’s Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies. As manager of the think tank’s Election Law Reform Initiative, von Spakovsky also studies and writes about campaign finance restrictions, voter fraud and voter ID, enforcement of federal voting rights laws, administration of elections and voting equipment standards.

In light of this ballot dilema I would like to offer some terrific information about Postal Service rules and regulations about postmarks. I really hope someone of authority reads this. Firstlt I want to say that any ballots that are not postmarked before the date of the election should automatically be discounted and prohibited. With that said, post marks come in 3 different methods,2 of them are authentic and cannot be counterfeited. The first is done by the facer canceler machined process. This is where a machine cancels the ballot with a spray containing phosphorous and cannot be counterfeited. The second is also a machine done with ink containing chemicals only used by the Postal Service. The last is called a 'Date Plug" this one should not be accepted as it can be counterfeited and plugs can be stolen from the Postal Service by its employees.
On election day where ballots are to be accepted mostly after the date of the election Postal Inpectors should be stationed to veiw post marks for authenticity. And Postal Inspectors Should be available at other sites also. The postmarks can actually be veiwed online if there is a discrepancy.
Now, in light of the person arrested at the Canadian border who in fact sent a letter with ricin to the President, all ballots should go through Postal Service Automation where all of these ballots will be sniffed and scanned for dangerous materials. For the safety of everyone involved, all of the ballots, where people can get it in the mail, vote and throw it in a mailbox, every single one of these must go through automation so that they can be scanned.
Personally, I am going to the Polls, I usually vote by mail, but not this time and not anylonger. I don't trust anyone with my vote, and the Democrats trying to change the voting process without investigation or planning is at the least irresponsible, and seems like a scam to cheat on the elections.
Easy fix, make it illegal to use mail-in voting.
Polls or absentee only!!!
Hateful, demonc rats party wanted to scam the election. Please do not send your ballots via USPS mail… Carry it with you and personally bring it to the voting center and drop it.
So according to what he said ABSENTEE voting is not good as well if the post office doesn’t mail them? So then does Trump need to give the the 3.5 billion, and will that fix it?
Decadent demonc rats party wanted the mail in ballot to scam the election. What people can send kids to school, go to grocery, ride even cramp airline and cannot go out to vote?
Like joe?…
It won't be close and trumps out, dim wit.
YOU FAILED TO MENTION THIS … https://youtu.be/L6sRu8lZAc8
Get some drop boxes already. They do that in Wa state. Everyone knows you have to add postage or drop them in the convienient drop boxes located all over the damn city.
Tossed out for arriving late. Maybe people should be wonder why Trump's appointed post master general wants to slow the mail down?
Trump: mail in voting is bad for America
Also
Trump: I mail in all my votes
So Trump and junior vote by mail butthe rest of Americans should not?
To say there is no potential for cheating with "mail-in" is admitting you are a cheating Democrat.
Democrat's ignore the problems with mail in voting because they want to win and they don't care how they win.
This is hilarious 😂
I plan on voting in person to make sure my vote is counted.
Just another case of RBD (RULE BY DECEPTION). MSM and the DNC are RBD…
Contrary to the claims of many on the left, voter fraud is a very real problem. When someone commits voter fraud, the process is no longer fair, everyone’s vote gets diluted, and in some cases, election results are changed: https://youtu.be/1F50yI3FYek
The post office forgot the postage IF these are legit ballots. Maybe they are reproductions and the criminals forgot about postage.
Clearly we need to increase the first class postage.
