Democrats have long pushed for ballot drop boxes and mail-in voting to make it easier for voters to vote. Recent arrests in the use of Ballot Drop Boxes to stuff the ballot box show how vulnerable they are to abuse.  The boxes are not attended and no process is available to verify that the ballots were filled out by a registered voter. Video  cameras caught two top Democratic party officials making repeated trips to the boxes and depositing ballots in a Democratic primary. Mail-in ballots also cannot be adequately verified. Some States require the voter’s signature on the outside as well as the inside so the signatures can be compared to ensure the ballot wasn’t removed and replaced but that is no guarantee since both signitures could be forged and replacing the envelope as well as the ballot or as in Georgia, removing the ballots from the envelope and throwing them away so the signatures could not be compared. While many people focus on the national elections, the primaries are the place where the party’s candidate for the national election is chosen. Since the primaries are presided over by party officials, they are the easiest to subvert. The party can ensure their preferred candidate is elected in the primary through manipulating ballots in the primary. By manipulating elections in cities and States where Democrats are strong, they can staff the city and State governments with people who will support the party leadership and prevent investigations into election . In swing States, they can use their times in power to manipulate elections to guarantee that the Republicans can no longer win. While the electoral college guarantees that a candidate for President must have support of voters in a vast number of States, Democrat efforts to abolish the electoral college would allow them to win with the support of the voters in only a few highly populous States. Democrats and Republicans both need to support common sense protections for voting to ensure that their vote is safe.
