As added proof that mail-in voting is perfectly safe and the smartest possible way to hold an election, the American Postal Worker’s Union has endorsed Joe Biden for president in 2020. The union, which represents the USPS employees in every town in America, issued a blistering, potty-mouthed condemnation of President Donald Trump in announcing its support for Biden.
See? And when President Trump says that mail-in voting has the potential for vote fraud, he always says this “without evidence” according to the completely neutral mainstream media (which has also endorsed Joe Biden for president). Except… here’s the evidence.
The Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) has conducted a survey of developed nations around the world, to see how they conduct their elections and whether they trust mail-in voting. It turns out that banana republics cherish mail-in voting, while real countries that value the integrity of their election ban the practice.
How many times have you seen some dork on cable news telling you there’s “no evidence” that main-in voting encourages fraud? Probably too many to count. But almost none of the developed countries in Europe trust mail-in voting. At all.
According to the CPRC, nearly every country in Europe has imposed either a partial or total ban on mail-in voting. One-fifth of the developed countries in the world don’t even allow absentee voting. If their citizens want to vote in national elections, they have to show up in their home country and vote in person (with voter ID). In the handful of developed nations that do allow mail-in voting, the voter is still required to show up in person and display their passport or another photo ID to pick up the ballot.
In Japan and Poland, you have to have a special certificate from a doctor proving that you’re disabled in order to receive a mail-in ballot. Brazil, Russia, Israel, Mexico and a host of additional developed nations have banned mail-in voting completely, and most require in-person voter ID. What does it say when a country like Mexico has more secure elections than Oregon or Rhode Island? Mexico banned all mail-in voting back in 1991, due to rampant vote fraud.
A few countries have decided to allow mail-in voting for this year only, due to the coronavirus. But in every one of those countries, the elected government has passed a provisional rule that sunsets after this year. The ban on mail-in voting will be immediately reinstated in those countries. Here in America, Democrats are demanding that mail-in voting be made the new permanent standard.
Just last week, four guys in Los Angeles were convicted of felony vote fraud related to mail-in ballots. They were paying hobos with cigarettes and spare change to fill out stolen mail-in ballots. True story.
The Election Integrity Project has already located 485,000 dead people in California that the state sent mail-in ballots to for the November election. No biggie. I’m sure everyone at the addresses where those people passed away will be totally honest and won’t open those ballots, vote for Democrats and mail them back in. A 2016 report from CBS News in Los Angeles found that 265 dead people had continued to vote, year after year, thanks to the state continuing to mail their ballots to them.
In 2016, a US Postal Service employee in Texas was arrested for selling a list of absentee voters to a Democrat Party ballot harvesting group for $1,200. Just this year, a USPS employee in Houston was caught on surveillance video dumping a stack of Sheriff Troy Nehls’ campaign reelection mailers in a dumpster. But you can totally trust the Biden-endorsing postal workers’ union to handle your sacred ballot with care this November.
Back in April, a writer named Margaret Menge wrote an incredible piece for the South Florida Sun Sentinel. She described how she was easily able to obtain a fraudulent mail-in ballot in a 2016 experiment. It was easier than registering to vote in her own name. The piece is well-worth reading and it’s still online here. You can also read the data that the Crime Prevention Research Center compiled about mail-in voting in developed countries here.
You can continue to argue that mail-in voting works just fine if you wish, but the evidence is clear. Grown-up countries that care about the integrity of their elections ban mail-in voting.
