Vulnerability of Mail-in Ballots
- Mail-in ballots are prone to interference and threaten election integrity.
- Officials in China recognize the vulnerability of mail-in ballots.
Mail-in Voting Process
- Voting procedures for mail-in ballots differ by state:
- Some states require voters to apply for a mail-in ballot with a valid reason.
- Others automatically send mail-in ballots to all registered voters.
- Basic process:
- Voter requests a mail-in ballot.
- Election officials verify voter identity.
- Validated applications result in a mailed ballot.
- Voter completes the ballot and includes identifying information.
- Ballots must be returned properly (via mail, drop-box, or in-person).
Steps Involved in Mail-in Voting
- Example (Minnesota 2020):
- Completed ballot is placed in a small envelope without identifying information.
- Small envelope goes into a middle envelope (signature envelope) that includes identifying info.
- Middle envelope placed in a larger mailing envelope with no personal info.
- Returned ballots are dated, verified for identifying info, and sorted for counting.
Concerns About Mail-in Balloting
- Complexity increases the likelihood of errors and interference—18 steps from request to casting a ballot.
- Processes for handling rejected ballots or errors add additional complexity.
- Many individuals handle the ballot after it leaves the voter's control, increasing risk.
In-person Voting Process
- In-person voting is simpler:
- Voter goes to polling place with ID.
- ID is matched with voter registration.
- Voter casts their vote with no additional handling.
Voting Integrity
- In-person voting ensures no additional people handle the ballot, promoting integrity.
- A small number of absentee ballots reduces tampering risk.
- The 2020 election saw a significant increase in mail-in ballots due to COVID-19.
2020 Election Data
- In 2018, mail-in ballots made up about 22% of total votes; in 2020, it rose to over 45%.
- There were 154. 6 million votes cast in 2020, with 69. 6 million being mail-in ballots.
Call for Changes in Absentee Voting
- Majority of election personnel are honest, but a few dishonest individuals can impact election results.
- The need for a legitimate reason for absentee voting is emphasized.
- Current mail-in voting methods are prone to election interference.
