This is an actual page on the White House web site. It reads like something written about a third world dictator. So embarrassing. I have not seen any branch of the federal government sink this low in my lifetime.
@elonmusk India's population is about 1.5 billion. You're deranged if you think that they need more.
It's amazing how you're always worried about the WRONG things. Of all the crises in the world right now, THIS somehow is a major concern for you?? 🤡😅
CLAIM
“Mail‑in ballots aren’t checked for validity, so the process is unsafe and inaccurate.”
FACT
Mail‑in ballots are checked for validity in every state, using multiple layers of verification. The dominant method is signature matching, used in 32 states, where election officials compare the voter’s signature on the ballot envelope to the signature stored in the voter’s registration file. If the signature is missing or doesn’t match, the ballot is flagged and not counted unless the voter completes a cure process.
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS
• Every mail ballot is logged when issued and logged again when returned, preventing duplicates.
• Most states use signature verification; others require ID numbers, witness signatures, or notarization.
• Ballots are checked against registration records to confirm the voter is eligible and the ballot belongs to them.
• Unique barcodes track each ballot from mailing to acceptance.
• Ballot paper, envelopes, and barcodes include security features that prevent counterfeiting.
• States conduct post‑election audits to confirm accuracy.
WHAT THE DATA SHOWS
Independent analyses (AP, PBS, NCSL, academic studies) consistently find mail‑ballot fraud rates between 0.00004% and 0.0009% — effectively near zero.
BOTTOM LINE
Mail‑in ballots are validated through signature checks, ID requirements, ballot tracking, and registration verification.
The process is safe, accurate, and heavily audited, with fraud rates that are exceedingly low.
@chaosintifada @mehdirhasan If you think there's another side to the Republican Party nowadays, then you're delusional.
This is who they are. Either own it and claim it or use your brain and get the hell out.
