1. The "Multiple Ballots" Concern


The fear here is that if a state mails a ballot to every registered voter, thousands of ballots will sit in apartment lobbies, get sent to old addresses, or allow people to vote multiple times.


The Reality of the Safeguard: A ballot is not like a flyer; it cannot simply be picked up by anyone and counted. Every single ballot package sent out is tied to a specific voter’s record via a unique tracking barcode.


If a ballot is sent to a voter's old address and a new tenant fills it out, it will be rejected the moment it reaches the election office because the signature on the envelope will not match the voter’s signature on file.


If a voter receives a mail ballot but decides to vote in person instead, the electronic pollbook at the voting center updates instantly. If they try to mail the ballot later, the system flags the barcode as "already voted" and rejects it automatically.


2. "Ballot Harvesting" (Third-Party Collection)


This refers to the practice where a third party—such as a volunteer, campaign staffer, or community member—collects completed mail-in ballots from voters and drops them off at an election office or drop box. Critics argue this opens the door for bad actors to pressure voters, alter votes, or simply throw away ballots from neighborhoods that vote for the opposing party.


The Reality of the Safeguard: States have heavily regulated or restricted this practice to prevent abuse. As of 2026, the law varies significantly depending on the state:


Strict Limits: Many states explicitly outlaw anyone other than a close family member or caregiver from returning a ballot.


Caps on Collection: In states where third-party collection is legal, laws often limit a single person to collecting only a small number of ballots (usually between 3 and 10).


Paper Trails: Collectors are often required to sign a log or affidavit on the ballot envelope, making them legally responsible for the ballot's safe delivery.


The Ultimate Check: Even if an unauthorized person collects a ballot, they cannot change the vote inside because the envelope must be sealed and signed by the actual voter. If the envelope is ripped open or tampered with, it is flagged and investigated.


3. Chain of Custody Issues


The concern is that once a ballot leaves a voter's hands, it passes through too many intermediate steps (mail trucks, sorting facilities, drop boxes) where it could be stolen or lost.


The Reality of the Safeguard: Election offices treat ballots with a level of security similar to how banks handle cash or police handle evidence. The "chain of custody" is a strict, legally mandated paper trail.


Tamper-Evident Tech: Ballots are transported in heavy-duty containers secured with serially numbered, single-use, tamper-evident seals. The seal numbers are logged before transit and verified upon arrival; if a seal number doesn't match or looks broken, the container is locked down and investigated.


Bipartisan Teams: By law, local drop boxes are emptied by teams of at least two people, almost always representing different political parties, ensuring one person is never left alone with the ballots.


24/7 Logging: Every single exchange—who touched the box, what time it was opened, how many ballots were inside—is documented on a physical seal log.


While managing millions of pieces of mail is undeniably complex, the security doesn't rely on trust. It relies on a rigorous, transparent system of audits, barcodes, and bipartisan oversight specifically designed to catch human errors and deter bad actors.
I'm not interested in an AI response that is designed to cover up real concerns and problems. If you want to believe mail-in ballots are secure, I'm not going to be able to change that. But it doesn't keep me from believing you are at least related in some way to the ostrich family.
 
What about those that say that they are difficult to secure. There are multiple ballots, ballot harvesting, and chain of custody issues.

It is completely understandable why that pattern raises eyebrows on election night. When you watch TV on election day and see one candidate leading, only to see that lead steadily shrink or flip over the next two weeks, it looks unnatural if you don’t know what's happening behind the scenes.


Political scientists and election officials actually have names for these exact dynamics: the "Blue Shift" (or "Red Mirage") and state-level processing bottlenecks. The delay and the partisan split aren't random; they are the direct mathematical result of state laws, geography, and changing voter habits.


Why Does It Take Weeks in Democratic States/Areas?


The states that take weeks to finish counting—most notably Democratic-heavy states like California—are not slow because of foul play. They are slow because of intentional policy choices designed to maximize access rather than speed.


1 Volume and Universal Mail Voting: States like California, Washington, and Oregon mail a ballot to every single registered voter. Processing tens of millions of paper envelopes takes vastly longer than tallying digital in-person voting machines. A single county like Los Angeles has more voters than 40 individual U.S. states combined.


2 Postmark Rules: Many Democratic-leaning states count ballots that arrive after Election Day, as long as they are postmarked on or before Election Day. In California, for example, ballots can arrive up to a week late and still be legally counted.


3 The "Pre-Processing" Ban: Some states prohibit election workers from opening envelopes, verifying signatures, or flattening paper ballots until Election Day itself. When millions of ballots arrive at once, a massive backlog forms that takes weeks to human-verify.


4 "Ballot Curing" Laws: Democratic states often give voters 2 to 3 weeks after the election to fix minor mistakes—like a missing signature—so their vote isn't thrown out. That extends the official deadline to certify results.


Contrast this with Florida or Ohio: These states allow election offices to start verifying and scanning mail ballots weeks before Election Day. On election night, they just press "print" on the results, making their counts look lightning-fast by comparison.


Why Are Most Mail-in Ballots for Democrats?


The heavy Democratic skew in mail voting is a relatively recent phenomenon driven by partisan strategy, demographics, and political messaging.


The 2020 Pandemic Shift: Before 2020, absentee voting was used equally by both parties (and often favored older, rural Republican voters). During the COVID-19 pandemic, Democratic leaders heavily encouraged their base to vote by mail for public health reasons, while Republican leaders explicitly urged their base to vote in person on Election Day. That created a massive, persistent split in how the two parties choose to cast their votes.


Urban vs. Rural Logistics: In dense urban areas (which tend to vote heavily Democratic), standing in line at a polling place can take hours. As a result, urban voters heavily prefer mail-in ballots or drop boxes for convenience. In rural areas (which tend to vote heavily Republican), polling places usually have short lines, making in-person voting fast and easy.


Younger Voters: Younger voters, who skew Democratic, are far more likely to use mail-in ballots or drop boxes than to visit traditional polling sites on a Tuesday.


The Result: The "Blue Shift" Phenomenon


When you combine those two factors, you get the "Blue Shift":


1 Election Night: The first votes reported are usually in-person Election Day votes (heavily Republican) and rural precincts (heavily Republican). The Republican candidate takes an early, often large lead (the "Red Mirage").


2 Days 2 through 14: Election workers begin the slow, labor-intensive work of signature-checking and opening millions of mail-in ballots and urban drop-box ballots. Because those methods are heavily favored by Democrats, each new batch of votes processed trends blue.


This dynamic happens predictably in every election cycle where mail ballots are counted last. Election officials of both parties have pushed state legislatures to change their laws—specifically to allow pre-processing of mail ballots before Election Day—so that results can be announced faster and avoid creating unnecessary public suspicion.
 
If the Donald had actually accomplished anything, he'd be out there pointing out all the ways our lives are better since he's been president. Instead he's floating election conspiracy theories and doing everything he can to interfere with the midterm elections. Not the actions of a confident man.

Was it during the 2020 election? After the election news reports said bags of mail,including ballots,were found by the side of the road? I forget what State this was in.
Not the only reporting of that nature as I recall.

A reporter asked Marwayne Mullin if Americans can be confident that the midterm elections will be secure. His answer:

"If the election officials, once we gave them the information they need to secure their elections and they chose not to, then those individuals can also be held accountable by fines, by penalties, and even, depending on how far it goes, prison time." Mullin said.


He was talking about state election officials who don't use the SAVE program. You might be asking: What is the SAVE program? It stands for Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements; it's a student loan repayment plan created by the Biden Administration. What Mullin is saying is any state election officials who don't adopt the DHS' list of ineligible voters could possibly face prison time. If this isn't authoritarian overreach I don't know what is.

Article I, Section 4, Clause 1

"The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing [choosing] Senators."

Not one word about the Executive or the President. States have their own security protocols and the Executive branch has no authority over them. The SAVE program is not a law passed by Congress; it's a student loan repayment plan and Mullin is trying to adopted it as a backdoor way to exercise federal control over elections. They're going to try everything in the book, legal or otherwise.
 
Real election interference. Donald wanted Mike Pence to certify the election based on votes cast by fake electors. When he refused, we know what happened next.

I have to make an edit to this post. Mullin's SAVE program apparently isn't the same as Biden's SAVE plan, though the names sound very similar. ABC News says this:

"DHS is now pushing states to use the expanded SAVE System—a tool maintained by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services originally intended to determine eligibility for government benefits—to assess their voter rolls, according to a DHS report released by the White House on Thursday night."​

It doesn't really matter though; he still doesn't have the authority to force states to use his data or go to prison. It makes me wonder, why the hostility on Mullin's part? If he really has something that would improve election security he would cooperate with states and help them, not threaten them with prison; or work with Congress to pass legislation. Seems like more of an intimidation tactic.

 
Markwayne Mullin desperately wants you to believe he's making elections more secure. You decide.

 
Yea i think mail in ballots are secure and the process of counting them shouldn’t be tampered with.👍🏾
Outside sources can tamper if they know how to gain access. Proven in court.

Why did Dominion drop its suit against Lindell?
2: Weaponization of Government (Attack Vector)“Whistleblowers, attorneys, cyber experts, and local officials who tried to preserve evidence or raise alarms were threatened with sanctions, targeted for prosecution, or stripped of credentials. The subpoenas were defied. The logs were cleared. The whistleblowers were interrogated. The auditors were threatened. The lawyers were indicted. The clerk who saved the server image was arrested, indicted, prosecuted, persecuted, and imprisoned. The officials who deleted election result files were not. At every level, the power of government was not directed at the question of what happened—it was directed at the people asking it.”——

The company formerly known as Dominion, now operating as Liberty Vote, has agreed to dismiss its $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against Mike Lindell and MyPillow with prejudice—meaning the case cannot be refiled.

Why did Dominion drop their suit against Mike Lindell? They didn't. The suit was dropped after one of the Donald's allies bought the company. The new company called Liberty Vote are the ones who dropped the suit. Dominion did win a settlement with FOX News to the tune of $787 million and would no doubt have gotten a settlement or judgment from Lindell too. A Colorado jury ordered Lindell to pay a former Dominion employee $2 million; and a Minnesota jury found him guilty of defaming the voting tech company Smartmatic.

Give me a break. The fact being the suit was dropped against Lindell. Why would they drop it if it was a slam dunk win? Lindell did not settle out of court. That is why.

Not in court. It was an out-of-court settlement. Fox caved.
and would no doubt have gotten a settlement or judgment from Lindell too.
Then why did they drop the 1.3 billion dollar defamation suit? In spite of all the threats listed earlier? It would have gone to court, and there would have been sworn depositions where lying is felonious.

800+ pages, 824 findings, 2517 citations. Five years of compiled research, court records, sworn testimony, government documents, and technical forensics.
That is why they dropped it.

All on appeal, and it is getting worse for the vote cheaters and their apologists.

Dominion was busted in spite of all the out of court payouts against Fox, and Newsmax. Dominion is gone and Lindell is still standing.

it was acquired in a straightforward business transaction in October 2025 by Scott Leiendecker, a former Republican election official from St. Louis who runs KNOWiNK (an electronic poll book company)

Major lost business opportunities and reputational harm.

The company was seen as distressed. Leiendecker described it as a "death spiral" for the brand despite legal wins, and he bought it opportunistically as someone already in the election tech space. He has said he felt it was his "calling" to stabilize the company, shift toward more paper-based systems, emphasize U.S. ownership, and try to rebuild trust.

votebeat.org
The new owner positioned the acquisition around "restoring public confidence," "election integrity," hand-marked paper ballots, and full American ownership — language that appealed to conservative concerns while aligning with existing trends in voting systems (most already produce paper records).

I was made aware the alien is not an American citizen. They supposedly reside in Australia. Their hobby here for years apparently is to downgrade President Trump,America,and Americans.

Its why they hide their profile now. So new arrivals like me cannot see where they're from. But others here know, so they reach out.
 
Far right is worth the read all the way through. Not only Lindell but also Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani reached settlements facing all sorts of backlash from vote cheats and their left-wing confederates, including legacy media. The good news? Dominion is gone!!!!
I doubt they're gone. They just renamed themselves.

Dominion,as a name for their service,should have forewarned voters the election was at risk.

Idle gossip and a bit humorous. I've debunked this myth many times and it's not worth the effort to do it again; but for the record, I'm a US citizen, born of US citizens and live in Oklahoma. Sorry to disappoint. People who have nothing better to do than spread gossip to denigrate others need to take a serious look at themselves. As far as why my profile is hidden, that's really no one's business but my own; it's not illegal to hide one's profile, I've come across many other who do it.

Especially given Australias government has plenty to criticize.
