Some states may force residents to use mail-in ballots during the current health emergency. Voting by mail makes it easier to commit [[fraud]], intimidate voters, and destroy the protections of the secret ballot. Without the oversight of election and polling officials, mail in ballots are the ballots most vulnerable to being altered, stolen, or forged. Fraud by duplicate voting can occur, once by absentee or mail in ballot, and then again in person. Employees of private companies hired to contact and register voters have been known to change party affiliations of voters and forge signatures on voter registration forms, among other things. |
