This push for voter roll maintenance comes amid heightened scrutiny by 2.7 million actions by Act for America members!
Beyond the issue of non-citizen voting, another significant concern is the vast scale of fraudulent ballots cast in the 2020 election by citizens.
Reports indicate that over 39 million ballots were cast fraudulently, meaning one in every five votes could have been compromised. This staggering number is largely attributed to the ease and convenience of mail-in voting. Unlike traditional in-person voting, where individuals must present identification at their local polling station, mail-in voting allows ballots to be cast without a physical human presence. This process bypasses the key security measures intended to verify a voter's identity and eligibility, making it vulnerable to manipulation.
One of the most alarming consequences of this lax system was the ability of organizations and individuals to exploit mail-in voting on an industrial scale. Left-wing groups, bolstered by funding from sources like Zuckerberg's "Zuckerbucks," capitalized on the expanded mail-in system to engage in practices like ballot harvesting, where third parties collect and submit large numbers of ballots. Additionally, fraudulent voter registration submissions became more prevalent, with some ballots being cast under the names of deceased individuals, pets, or non-citizens who were unaware they had been registered to vote.
Mail-in voting, originally intended to provide a more accessible option during the pandemic, became a vehicle for fraudulent activity, particularly through poor chain-of-custody protocols and lack of real oversight in signature verification. Without measures like voter ID numbers or social security number verification, it became nearly impossible to distinguish legal ballots from illegal ones once they were separated from their envelopes. This systemic vulnerability underscores the urgent need for election reforms, especially as mail-in voting becomes more prevalent.
The increase in mail-in ballots during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic led to widespread concern over potential voter fraud, especially in states where mail-in voting was expanded. Deciding Battleground States like California, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Texas saw dramatic increases in mail-in voting.
Nationwide, mail-in ballots increased by nearly 160% compared to the 2016 election, with about 65 million Americans voting by mail in 2020, compared to around 25 million in 2016. For example:
