They had to throw out 20% of the votes in Paterson New Jersey, so why exactly is it strange to think that voting by mail is not safe? imagine 20% of the votes thrown out on national scale? There would be carnage. Also, there is a big difference between vote by mail and absentee ballots. Absentee ballots have to be requested and are thus tracked, while mail-in ballots go to everyone and are much harder to track, also Dr.Fauchi, who is one of the top experts on cornona virus has said that voting in person is completely safe so long as safety protocols are followed. www.cnn.com/2020/08/20/politics/paterson-new-jersey-city-council-voter-fraud/index.html www.businessinsider.com/fauci-says-in-person-election-with-distancing-masks-is-safe-2020-8

Not exactly lying has to be intentional. And if you accuse someone of lying you got to prove they were deliberately misleading people. Hence why "strictly speaking Not Factual" is such a powerful phrase. Because it neither accuses of deliberate misleading nor takes it off the table for the jury.

Mail in voting is safer digital voting. If you compromise 1 mail-in vote that is one mail-in vote affected. If you compromise one digital vote, you're more likely to be able to affect all votes. So inherently digital voting systems are actually less safe from attacks. Tampering with physical voting is a linear style attack. You have to put the same amount of effort into each vote. Temporary digital votes is a non-linear style. For each successful tampering it requires less and less effort to compromise subsequent votes

This is so bizarre as an Australian, where voting is compulsory for those over 18. We have early voting centres open for about 2 - 4 weeks before every election, voting by mail is just a thing that happens, and voting is generally held on a Saturday. The most controversial thing that happens is the quality of the sausage in bread you get when voting. (Voting for us is generally held at community centre locations like schools - which will take advantage of the captive audience by having fundraising events including cooking hot food and selling cakes.)
@richardchantlerrico

The sausage sizzle is always good - extra onion! I agree this whole thing seems stupid and so easy to fix by requring that everyone 'vote' and have their name ticked off - heck even make it a public holiday. For those that talk about freedom, you only have to get your name ticked off. You can literally throw the ballet paper in the bin on your way out if you want (or put it in the voting box not filled out).

In November 1960, I was at MIT and requested an Absentee Ballot from my home precinct in Mill Valley CA. I'm not sure why, but I was sent two. I returned one and destroyed the other. My mother was a poll worker at the precinct and there was a challenge, since I had been sent two ballots. So she asked, "How many did he return?" As only one had been returned, it was allowed. I never knew why two had been sent.

If you filled out a mail ballot the system recognizes that when you are checked in & you will be turned away...(or when the ballot is input if it’s mail). if you want to show up in person, you need to then cancel the mail ballot. This was actually a thing on Twitter where a guy cropped the photo to make it look like his vote was cancelled, but it was canceled because he physically went to vote. There are also audits of all states voting records & a double security number raises a red flag, that person is now liable for charges & an investigation will be done. This is why states have so many weeks to investigate & confirm votes. If by some miracle the double vote wasn’t caught at the polls (they usually are) then both votes will be canceled & if that person has no committed fraud they will be allowed to correct that ballot.

Now, this was obviously a joke (although he was seemingly confident at the time that he could get it done), but hypothetically speaking, if some zealous fans actually carried out said actions, could Martin's written permission be used as their defense in court when they are inevitably caught??

In fact a copy of the ballot can be used as a document to prove where your live. The way you know that you have turn 18 is when you receive a Ballot.

The Dept. of Education removed the mandatory civics class that used to be taught in 8th grade. In fact many school districts would not allow you to graduate unless you finished this course. The left which controls the Dept of Education does not want people to know how the government works or for people to know their rights. This allows the progressives to more easily manipulate and indoctrinate the ignorant youth when they do not know these things. The Dept of Education also removed the mandatory course in home economics, so that the youth would not learn how to manage a budget, use credit, file taxes, and other general take care of yourself once you are an adult kind of things so that the left can instead get people to rely on the government to do these things for them.

When I heard that you need to REGISTER to vote in the US and that most people don't get time off I was baffled. I live in Germany, and every person entitled to vote is registered by default and sent a reminder where their local polling station is. The elections are ALWAYS on a Sunday so most people don't need to bother taking days off. Of course you can also register for voting by mail which is fairly easy. I don't get the reasoning behind forcing people to register. But then, I don't get A LOT of the broken systems the US desperately clings to...

Essentially, a lot of systems here in the U.S. are archaic holdovers from the past 200+ years that are maintained for various reasons (political malarchy, hyper conservatism, change-resistant cultural norms, etc.). Many people here, mostly of the older White demographic, in the States fear and actively work against change because of an unfounded fear of disenfranchisement. Ironic, considering that many refuse to acknowledge just how privileged they are until such benefits might be shared with "them," and even then they hide behind lies and excuses so they don't have to admit they don't want people who aren't like them having the same rights and freedoms.

In Canada we're registered when we pay taxes, and we're allowed paid time off to go vote. And we can mail in votes. Because we actually care about democracy instead of trying to manipulate the system as much as possible to favor one side (no paid time off so only those who can afford to vote can vote, closing polling stations early, chopping up districts to make favorable outcomes, having fewer poll stations than is necessary for a given area, making it extremely difficult to advance vote or vote remotely, etc)

I live in Brazil, and we consider voting not just a right, but an obligation. That means that if your voting situation is irregular, there are a lot of things you can't do, like enter University or get a passport. People complain that voting shouldn't be compulsory but seeing as you can absolutely show up on the day and annul your vote, I think it's a better alternative than actively trying to suppress voting. Your power as a citizen to elect your government officials is the cornerstone of any democracy. Trying to suppress that right is a crime against democracy itself.

@@Makrillo I guess the deficiency would be the vulnerability of mail-in voting to a corrupt postmaster general who tries to suppress voting by slowing down the entire postal system. Otherwise, it works really well. Speaking as someone who has been using the mail-in system for 20 years. Actually, the one drawback we've had in a past was the lack of return postage, since it can be hard for people to get a single stamp. This year, all the ballots come with prepaid return postage, so that's no longer a problem. Even in the past, I sometimes mailed my ballot, and sometimes dropped it off into a ballot box at the library, or county building. Which brought up another question, as Portland (and other cities) have growing homeless populations. I just looked that up, and it's possible to register to vote using a shelter, park, or the office of the county clerk, if a voter lacks a residence. So, that deficiency has been addressed as well.

Fortunately, all you have to do is go to the polling place, tell the poll workers your mail in ballot was stolen, show your ID, and vote. Your mail in ballot is then destroyed. I've been on the early voter list for 15 years and have never had an issue because I have a PO Box, not a box on the street or the front of my house where my mail can be stolen. I have had my party affiliation changed against my will twice, both times to Democrat. Oh, and my dad voted Democrat the year after his death. Fortunately, all three problems were resolved quickly and no fraudulent votes were counted.

Poll workers give up a lot of their time to get training and give up a few days of their life for no reason other than they believe in our democracy. It’s difficult to know exactly what happened in your situation but various mistakes could have happened. It is possible that the poll worker didn’t ask for an ID (but that’s not very likely since poll workers are trained) it is possible that someone else whose name was on the list right above or right below you voted and poll workers accidentally checked off your name instead of theirs. Poll workers are human and mistakes are possible. As long as we continue to have people processing ballots (which I think people prefer people run polls instead of have technology do it) the idea that human error can happen must be accepted. If something like this ever happens again you should call your Secretary of State and let them know that poll workers are not being careful, perhaps they can receive more training if enough people complain. Another option for you to help prevent voter fraud is for you to volunteer to be a poll worker yourself.

Are there many problems that would prevent it's existence by it's own attributes? Most definitely. (To be clear, a "fairly liberal" think tank would have the same problems.

This is one of the reason why I love being European. Here (Spain) you can also vote by mail, but have to register first (no excuse needed, just registration). Also, every individual over 18 is registered to vote in person, incarcerated or not. But the most important thing is that elections are always held on Sundays, so most people can vote easily. And even if you work on Sundays, you have the right to vote and your employer has the obligation to let you go vote. You're allowed enough paid time off to get to the voting place and back, but you'll never loose your job because you want to vote and won't have to work overtime later because you chose to vote

Hey Legal Eagle, this is something I have been wondering about with regards to removing the right to vote from felons. There is a solid argument to be made that as a prisoner and compelled to involuntary labor that you must have your right to vote restored under section 1 of the 15th amendment. 13th amendment section 1. Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction 15th amendment section 1 The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. It seems pretty clear that as a convicted felon who can and will be made to work in prison you must have your right to vote restored on release.
@spamus5243
@spamus5243 3 года назад
The "previous condition of servitude" that they performed is not the reason they are being denied the vote, but rather because of the felony conviction itself. Their compelled labor and denied right to vote are not linked causally, but rather incidentally by a common cause: the felony conviction. I believe convicted felons should have the right to vote, but I don't believe you have a compelling argument here based solely on these amendments.

And I'm genuinely not trying to be a huge dick, but it is admittedly frustrating hearing so many people who don't care to hear how people come to crazy conclusions, and would rather just assume they are crazy instead of rational and coming to different conclusions. People can hold opposing views and both be right. what works for some will not for others. And what has been abused before can most certainly be abused again when a change is made to the system without proper forethought. Personally I think the decision to push en-masse mail-in-voting will result in greater dissatisfaction of the outcome. If Trump wins, the media will claim it was voter fraud, and if Biden wins many people will assume it was due to mail-in-votes. worse yet, they'd likely be right, because the majority of democrats live in cities that are promoting it the most. WORST yet, if the votes result in a Trump win that gets overturned by late mail-ins (most likely, as rural places are voting in person more than cities), NO-ONE will be satisfied. there isn't even a precedent for it happening. De-facto Trump would win due to deadline, but the votes would say otherwise after the fact. lose lose.

The notification indicates the voter's precinct polling station. Voters must present their polling notification and if asked a piece of photo ID (identity card (compulsory in Germany), passport, form of identification). As a rule identification is not required other than by the polling notification. If the voter cannot present the notification, a valid ID and an entry in the register of voters can qualify for voting.[13][14]

This is not an insignificant difference. Please look into the disaster that was the recent New Jersey election. Only about 50% of the sent ballots were returned, and 20% of those were rejected.

When I compared the number of cases of voter fraud against population, split by voter ID requirements, still no correlation arose. When I compared the voter fraud cases against population directly, there was in fact a correlation: the more people living in a state, the more voter fraud cases in that state, *regardless of ID requirements,* with the rate of voter fraud coming out to about 4 cases per million people *over the lifetime of the database, stretching back to 1971, and regardless of the voter ID laws.* Conclusion: Voter ID requirements do not stop voter fraud, not that there really is a fraud problem to being with.

Hi Aaron, As an Aussie I have total contempt for our voting system - we may as well be in Soviet Russia. What you need to understand is the three key rules. 1. You must vote ie it is compulsory and you get fined if you don't 2. We have preferential voting (STV) 3. You must put a preference against each candidate ie it is exhaustive preferential voting Like a lot of democratic countries we have two major parties. So rule 3 says you must put one of them second last. The corollary of rule 3 is that we must vote Liberal or Labor (US folk that is roughly Democrat and Republican). It is compulsory to vote Laberal (Labor or Liberal) is the consequence of this. In the US it would be you are forced to vote Democrat or Republican. The following corollary is that in Australia if there is a common policy between the two major parties you cannot vote against that policy. You are forced to vote for one of the majors and hence vote for the joint/shared policy that has thrown you out of work and ruined your life. How's that for a fine democracy?? Of course it is easily fixed by either making voting non-compulsory or by making it non exhaustive preferential. That forces the majors to go to the effort of getting the people out to at least put them second last. Of course the last person to advocate non-exhaustive voting (Albert Langer) was shoved in the clink at Her Majesties' pleasure. (US folk that means an indefinite jail until they think he will mind his manners better. Fairly Totalitarian huh, even if killing him would be taken as excessive). So Aaron I wouldn't be too thankful though we have some things to be proud of. The Australian Ballot as the US calls it. First country with universal male franchise and second with universal female franchise. Compulsory exhaustive preferential voting is definitively not one of them. So I will not vote as it is the only way I can avoid voting Laberal and their share common policies.

One way is that Native Americans on reservations often have addresses that don't correspond to the state's system, so they are deemed as not having valid addresses and therefore not eligible for absentee ballots. In counties and states with high Native American populations, this is deliberately used to prevent Natives from voting. Oh, wait. Those aren't the voters Republicans are worried about.

In WA state most people vote by mail. You can vote in person if you want or need too. King county did a great job with the vote in person for the primary this year. They got a giant hall where the Seahawks play so no one had to be any closer than 20 feet from anyone pretty much the whole time. They had mask for you if you didnt have one, hand sanitizer, they were cleaning the machines between use. They had snacks and drinks for people since it was a hit day. They also had voter guides where the candidates had submitted statements about themselves and there stances on things so if you had not decided you could sit and read about a candidate. They had enough machines that the line was never longer than two people for more than a few minutes.

So here in Washington, our ballots have 2 numbers tied to your identity in the voter rolls, one is a district code, and one is a unique number that is specifically the ballot assigned to you. If either number is not correct then the ballot is not counted. Furthermore your signature is on file and the signature on the outside of the envelope (security of your vote) is checked against that signature. In the time since I registered and when the State went 100% mail in my signature changed and I had to go through a process to verify my identity and update my on file signature. For returning the ballots, we have secure drop boxes, that are in many places around each county, The assessor's office has employees who work in teams of 2 or more retrieve from the drop box daily. On the night elections close the polls close at 8. At 8 a member of the team gives a card to the last in line that signifies they were in line and that their vote will be collected. Collected votes are put into tubs and secured with a metal band similar to what truck drivers seal their cargo with, and the drop box's slot is locked. Recently the state also voted and approved a measure that makes the postage covered for the mail in ballots. (Personally that should have always been covered from day 1 when we started doing mail in ballots even before we went 100% mail in)

Mail in voting is safer digital voting. If you compromise 1 mail-in vote that is one mail-in vote affected. If you compromise one digital vote, you're more likely to be able to affect all votes. So inherently digital voting systems are actually less safe from attacks. Tampering with physical voting is a linear style attack. You have to put the same amount of effort into each vote. Temporary digital votes is a non-linear style. For each successful tampering it requires less and less effort to compromise subsequent votes
@pilotavery
@pilotavery 3 года назад
Exactly, whatever method you figure how to hack in and change the votes means you can just use that same attack again on all of their different systems in all of their computers. Even if you managed to break into a room somewhere in some zip code somewhere you've only changed that specific neighborhood

This misrepresents gaining access to a digital system as being equivalent to gaining access to one person's mail-in vote. The process involved in gaining access to a digital voting system is complicated, and requires having physical access to the system in an extremely obvious way for several minutes, often while a very loud alarm is going off, OR having someone with authority to access the device willing to unlock it for you and everyone around them willing to look the other way. The process involved in tampering with mail-in votes involves acquiring ballots from people dumb enough to give them to you or who you can access their mail before they do to steal their ballots, then taking them home in bulk to tamper with at your leisure. OR having someone with authority to access the ballots after they have been unsealed willing to allow you access to them and everyone around them willing to look the other way while you grab them and replace them with ones you pre-filled out. Neither is a practical way to tamper with votes. You either get caught while the alarm is blaring or while you're stealing from people's mailboxes, OR someone doesn't look the other way. Your votes are safe either way. Claiming they aren't safe (either mail-in or electronic) is a form of disenfranchisement because it discourages people from taking the time to vote when they think it won't be counted.

If not, wearing your mask and keeping a distance should protect you... I don't think voting will be considered a high-risk activity for COVID in the end.

@@yespls4184 Here's the problem with in person voting: the poor soul who has to work the election and get exposed to all the covid in the air for many hours. Most of the people who do that are retired and more likely to suffer really bad covid symptoms, so oddly enough, they aren't volunteering to do this in the normal numbers. That's why there are fewer polling places with longer lines. There are efforts to recruit young people but, come on, it is a long, hard stretch of repetitious work that doesn't pay very well and most young people don't have the ability to handle that level of tedium while keeping their attention riveted to doing everything right. I love to work elections because it is history being made but it is a physical, mental, and emotional challenge even without the possibility of death. I worked our primary, processing mail in ballots, which was three people in a team about five-six feet apart across a table, masks and gloves. Huge difference. I'd like to do that again if they need me. When voting, do stop and think. It isn't all about you.

@Psilocybe Cubensis While I appreciate you're defence of mail-in voting, that's not what thisguy is saying. A major reason for most of the US archaic voting systems is because the when voting is both difficult and non-compulsory, voter turnout is lower. Statistically, older white voters (the GOPs main demographic) are the ones most likely to make the effort. The GOP is a major factor in this being an issue because in every major poll taken on the subject, if voter turnout was 100% (i.e. compulsory), pretty much every state would vote Blue. Which is why thisguy said the left isn't interested in voter suppression; it has no reason to do so.

It would be extremely difficult for all the towns in all the counties in all the states of the United States to be able to coordinate on that scale. But virtually anything is possible so I imagine that if the people counting the votes get caught lying then that will be treated as voter fraud or probably even voter fraud while abusing the office of power that they had (on account of the faith given to them by the American people to perform their duty with integrity) which would come with harsher legal ramifications for those individuals then the plain ol voter fraud he is talking about in the video.
