As mail-in voting has increased since the 2020 presidential election during the COVID-19 lockdowns, Democrats have advocated for it as an easier method of voting.
USPS told NBC News that, for the November election, it will "Employ a robust and proven process to ensure proper handling and delivery of all Election Mail, including ballots." Meanwhile, in Connecticut, after alleged ballot harvesting occurred during the September primary election last year and resulted in a court-ordered "Redo" election, the Democratic Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas advised voters to cast their ballots in person ahead of the Bridgeport mayoral redo primary election in January.
"Without the opportunity to drop off their absentee ballots at drop boxes, voters must instead rely on the U.S. Postal Service - and its unsecured mailboxes - to deliver their absentee ballot and simply hope that the ballot arrives by election day." Elias Law Group was started in 2021 by Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias, who in March 2020 advocated for states to switch to mail-in voting because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to records obtained by America First Legal from its lawsuit and released on Monday, CISA knew that mail-in and absentee voting are less secure than voting in person.
CISA still supported the widespread policy change to mail-in voting across the country and censored social media narratives regarding mail-in voting concerns.
These posts included concerns about mail-in voting, such as former President Donald Trump's Twitter post that there were "Big problems and discrepancies with Mail In Ballots." Years before the 2020 election, a bipartisan group analyzed mail-in voting and raised their own concerns.
Last June, the Republican National Committee announced its "Bank Your Vote" initiative, which "Will encourage, educate, and activate Republican voters on when, where, and how to lock in their votes as early as possible, through in-person early voting, absentee voting, and ballot harvesting where legal," according to the RNC's announcement.
