Wonder if they had anything indicating party affiliation on them

I'm thinking this one is Occam's Razor and it was mail thieves grabbing everything out of everyone's mailboxes and dumping everything with no monetary value. I would think activist ballot thieves would keep the ballots and fill them out for the democrat.

As long as you're not lazier than me - and I'm pretty lazy - it's easy to get a replacement ballot. My last mail-in ballot (which was my LAST mail-in ballot) never showed up, but all I had to do was go vote in-person and they hooked me up. And now I ONLY vote in-person.

I haven't opened my ballot yet but last year I noticed a phone number and site where you could check to see if your ballot had been received.

When filled out, I drop it in the special drop box at the city center so it never sees the mail system.

I gotta laugh when people say there's no proof of voter fraud, adding "you paranoid extreme right winger."  (The "extreme" is obligatory, of course.)

I will repeat my logic about suspicion and proof.  Follow along with me:

---------------------------
On "proof:"

1. There is no proof without evidence.
2. There is no evidence without investigation.
3. There is no investigation without suspicion.
4. But suspicion without proof is paranoia, so shut up, you paranoid conservative.

They wrapped all that up in a nice little package, right?
----------------------

I leave speculation as to who I mean by "they" up to my paranoid readers.

I am sure there will be more of this.  And just like last time, Democrats will fight tooth and nail to prevent anyone from doing a thorough investigation.

As posted in a different thread, mailed out ballots in ILL-ANNOY have tags with our names and addresses on them so we no longer have a "secret ballot" any more.
Like you, I took it in to the drop box in front of our county courthouse as it's only ~3-4 miles away.  However, for "some reason"*, this county has TWO "boards of election" (and two "health departments".  MANY times in past elections, Republican candidates have been leading in the counts as the county gets done before midnight.  Unfortunately, East St. Louis is lucky to get it done by the end of the day AFTER the election.  By that time, the "Ds" are back in the lead - again.

True or not, it seems to me it would be easy for a programmer to increase the click size on "HIS HER ITS" candidate or even stick in an occasionall extra unbordered invisible click area or two for HIS HER ITS candidate.   Who would notice something like this, meant to induce unintended clicks, buried in a huge stream of program code?

The end justifies the means to some people.  Their code of ethics is me.

Give me my black ball point pen and little circles to fill out.  I once filled out the ballot with a "magic marker" and noticed (A) it bled through to the opposite side of the paper and (B) a warning that the ballot should not be marked up otherwise in any way.  I called and asked if the black dots on the back of the paper  would invalidate my ballot and the party said probably yes, so I went down in person, turned it in, and got a new ballot... which I stuck in the ballot pickup box, bypassing the mail.,

I am distressed by those of us who don't vote, since their vote "doesn't count" in the total mass of votes, but nowadays you have to look at it this way:

Your single little rinky-dinky "nothing" vote could cancel out one fraudulent vote on the other side!

"Pre-emptive vengeance," doncha see?

I was thinking about the possibility of extra protection around election day.  Might carry an extra handgun in the car.  Probably not a long gun, since I would not want to leave it in the car when at home, and carrying it back and forth apartment-to-car and v-v, especially with groceries and such, would be pretty awkward.  I used to hide a rifle in a long curtain rod box for the occasional range trips.

I'm a little concerned about the concentration of illegal aliens in certain areas of the country.  They could easily be recruited into a "krystallnacht"-type riotous mob.  Some cervasa, a megaphone... wouldn't take much.

But building-wise, attacks on this building are unlikely since we're fairly remote and I don't know of any concentrations of illegal aliens --ooops, "migrants" --hereabouts.   Nevertheless, I will keep extra ammo lying around the apartment instead of put away.

Come to think of it, I've got a slew of SKS stripper clips. I may load up a few more for the sake of fulfilling my "extreme right-wing paranoid right-wing extremist" label.

Paranoia is a survival trait.

So is xenophobia, I might add.

I have been *very* happy with my folding .300BLK and Vertx bag for those days when I want a little mor comfort than my CCW piece.  Throws in the car well, is subtle, bag carries more useful stuff than just a rifle.  Highly recommend.

So far 115,000 votors in Michigan have voted multiple times (or requested multiple ballots)  resulting in 164,000 "extra" votes.  One voter ID has 29 ballots.

So I guess the rule is that as long as the illegal ballot makes it across the finish line, it has to get counted as legitimate?!?

Our election integrity team received reports of thousands of duplicate ballots in Michigan.

We immediately investigated and have CONFIRMED that it was a glitch in the system - these duplicates were not and WILL NOT BE COUNTED.

We are on it and protecting the vote!

BREAKING: Colorado voting machine passwords were LEAKED online by the Democrat Secretary of State. Specifically, over 600 passwords for machines in 63 of the state’s 64 counties were posted for anyone to see

"BIOS passwords are highly confidential, allowing broad access for knowledgeable users to fundamentally manipulate systems and data and to remove any trace of doing so. Due to the sensitivity surrounding BIOS passwords, Colorado election regulation (8 CCR 1505-1), Rule 20.5.2(c)(11), requires limited access to a select few at the Colorado Department of State; neither county clerks nor commissioners have access to these files." - @cologop
 

Someone signed an affidavit swearing under the penalty of perjury that they downloaded the file from Jenna Griswold's website and discovered the hidden tab by simply clicking "unhide."

Hey, Secretary of Fraud @JenaGriswold
, how about you start upholding election laws instead of spending all your time gaslighting the rest of us about how safe and secure our elections are? We The Voters of this state would really appreciate it. Exactly one week from now, we will finally vote to restore Trump back to the White House to bring these crooks to justice.

@BehizyTweets
Here's a full copy of the affidavit.
