Postal workers accused of interfering with US election mail-in ballots

[Jpost] Postal workers have been charged with interfering with the sending of mail-in ballots for the US presidential election in multiple states, according to The Washington Times. These incidents raised concern as many states have been encouraging voters to vote by mail as an alternative to in-person voting during the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)

pandemic.

A Kentucky postal employee was fired after Sherlocks said that more than 100 mail-in ballots were dumped and collection boxes were ransacked outside of six Virginia post offices this month.

A postal worker in Florida allegedly stole close to two hundred pieces of mail including a mail-in ballot and 36 political flyers, according to The New York Post. It is unclear if the worker knew that the ballot was part of the stolen haul.

In the summer, a mailman in West Virginia pleaded guilty to switching voters from Democrat to Republican on presidential primary ballot requests and meddling with ballots, according to The Washington Times.

"If you want people to be disenfranchised, make them all vote by mail," said J. Christian Adams, a member of the US Commission on Civil Rights.

Voters in almost every state can track their mail-in ballots to ensure that they were received and will be counted. Some 47 states offer some form of ballot tracking, according to the nonpartisan nonprofit National Vote at Home Institute.

Don't care. Punishment should be severe. Except for junk mail, of course. They should get bonuses for that.

#2 Irrelevant. The theft is the crime and involving ballots makes it worse.

#3 From Denver, a report about ballot dumping all over town, which adds:

Another response stood out, too. "Please spread the word," it began. "If you have not gotten your ballot by Saturday, October 17, go to GoVoteColorado.gov to check your registration info. If it is correct, call 311 to request a replacement."

#4 I still have not received my ballot. My wife did. I checked VoteWa.gov and I am still registered. it claims my ballot has been sent. I requested a replacement a week ago. No replacement yet.
I've been voting from the same address for over 20 years.

#5 I am planning on voting in person on November 3 (Election Day). That way, my vote is more likely to be counted.

#6 I had no intention of voting by mail. I will show up in person with my g(r)om special edition mask and cast my votes. I'm not totally convinced of these computerized methods, either, but that's another story.
