Absentee balloting fraud .. is the most common form of election fraud because its apparently the easiest to do/get away with .. Anybody watching the Postal workers ?? Wouldn't want any with sticky fingers .. I imagine the ballot envelopes are fairly obvious .. Here's an interesting scam .. ----------------------------------------------------- Commercial services such as DBT have massive databases which can be redundantly matched in a variety of ways to produce a deep level of cross-reference. This type of service is extremely expensive, but may be the only way jurisdictions can truly "scrub" their records of such names, given the constraints of NVRA. The problem is universal. California Secretary of State Bill Jones estimated that ten to twenty-five percent of his state's voter rolls were "corrupted" in similar fashion. Under NVRA, such records must be maintained on the voter rolls as "inactive" voters for two general federal elections, but are "reactivated" if voted during that period. Since it is not difficult to identify such names simply by searching such inactive voter lists, such names constitute a source pool for voter fraud. The Voting Integrity Project estimates that such problems exist to some degree in every state. Election fraud which utilizes such names can easily escape detection if done outside the polling place via absentee ballot. That is why absentee ballot fraud is the most common form of election fraud and is on the rise. It is difficult to detect absentee ballot fraud and even harder to prove in a court of law, but can be done with the help of hand writing experts. Most such cases are brought to the attention of prosecutors by candidate, party or independent poll watchers.
