  2. Exactly my point, made earlier.

    If there was even the merest whiff of voter fraud by the Republicans in this election the Trump-hating Big Tech media would have been all over it like a sweaty rash.

    How many of these armed guards surrounding post boxes were arrested by the police?

    It's not the media all over it mate, it was an election board...

    Allegations that operatives working for Dowless illegally collected, and sometimes filled in, absentee ballots on behalf of Republican Mark Harris’ campaign emerged shortly after the Nov. 6 election. They caused the state to hold off certifying Harris’ apparent narrow victory over Democrat Dan McCready.

    The state Board of Elections, during four days of hearings last week, heard evidence of what election officials called a well-funded and well-organized campaign to tip the election for the state’s 9th District in the U.S. House of Representatives, which stretches southeast from Charlotte.

    The hearings ended with the board ordering a new election, with an official calling the first one an “absolute mess.”


    And this has received less media attention than the Trump allegations.

    Now you have just hit on the biggest fault of postal voting.
    People are "advised" where to put their cross and the advisers even offer to take the envelope to the post box for them.
    It happens a lot but is not spoken about.

    Nope, apparently in America it's the republicans that use this trick despite them being strongly against postal votes :emoticon-0100-smile

    America is not the only country to use them though.

    If that's the biggest fault then we really have very little to worry about.

    Yes. Because as the case above shows, it's easy to spot and easy to deal with.

    The idea that this could be done on such a scale as to affect 5 States and nobody reports it or makes any allegations which result in a prosecution goes clearly against the case above which was spotted on 6th Nov and dealt with inside 10 days.

    How is it easy to spot?

    You'd have to ask the North Carolina investigators who received the allegations. The outcome of the case isn't in doubt.

    Does anybody really think that the postal vote was 'manipulated' to an extent that altered the overall outcome? ... it's bollocks ... the reality is that Trump's actions in handling the Covid crisis and the BLM issue were significant enough to turn the educated middle classes (of all creeds and colour) against him ... and that is all. <cheers>

    I would have thought a ballot arriving through the post with thousands of others and being opened and put in a pile ready for counting would be fairly neutral, how would you spot a fraud/advised one?

    So is the "main problem of postal voting" what happens when it gets to the counting centres OR as you said earlier, people advising where to put the cross or offering to drop it at a mail box?

    You made the assertion that people at the voting centres could tell if a ballot had been posted/advised by a third party (how can you tell that from an X on a card?), if that's true i would say both need investigating .
    The farming/harvesting of votes is probably worse from a fraud point of view though.

    No I didn't mate. I didn't mention voting centres prior to you bringing it up.

    Fair enough, you said North Carolina Investigators, same question though, how do they know?

    Remember votes are anonymous (supposedly) so how do they know if anyone has advised where to put the cross or who posted the envelope?
