Mail in voting, election Russian roulette

FRAUD AND MANIPULATION, JUST A QUESTION OF HOW MUCH

PLACING BALLOTS IN AN UNSECURED CHAIN OF POSSESSION WOULD NOT BE TOLERATED FOR ANY VALUABLE ITEM.

The advent of mail-in voting is possibly the end of our election process. The election process has been under attack ever since the Democrat voters of Florida decided that it was a good practice to attempt to punch stacks of ballots at one time to cheat in the 2000 election. It was a disaster and our election process has been under attack ever since.

In Pennsylvania, we had the most secure and most accurate voting machines ever. We were forced to scrape them by politicians who wanted to encourage the sale of new electronic machines. Electronic machines were undoubtedly suspect by many as being vulnerable to manipulation. Did they envision the possibility of tampering with machines for their benefit? I am sure, the cynic that I am,  that was a possibility.

We have had multiple new machines since the scrapping of the machines we used for decades. No one has been happy with any of them. Now we are embarking on a new experimentation on voting, Mail-in voting. This will be the most unsecured voting system in our nations history. We have never allowed the ballots to be placed in multiple hands on their way to the actual counting. In this heated political war that we are now engaged in it is not only likely, but probable, that there will be large scale attempts to manipulate the ballots.

Will politicized postal workers be encouraged or paid to discard ballots from some zip-codes that are heavily populated by one party or another?

Will ballots be requested by many of the dead or non-voters to be sent in by crews of ballot bandits?

Will the counting take extended time while more ballots are rustled up from who knows where?

I could go on on with the possibilities of fraud and abuse.

Is the intention really just to discredit our whole election process?

Would you feel comfortable sending cash through the mail, if it was marked on the envelope, that it contained cash?

Political activists on both side are not going to trust the other and we could begin a war of ballot trashing.

Does anyone believe we will know the the winner of this election in day, a week or possibly months?

We are in fact gambling with the future of the nation, not just about the outcome of such an election, but the inevitable doubt as to its validity.

There is only one true and accurate way of voting , 1 vote, 1 person, voting in person in the tried and proven process of all voting the same day in a simple and efficient manner. Counted by mechanical means that cannot be manipulated.

The election process is the way that a free people settle their differences and is a way to unite the nation. It is the keystone of democracy. This experimentation is destined to be the likely end to the foundation of our nation. If we cannot trust the election process, our disputes are very likely to be settled in the street.
