Voter fraud! Two of the charged are city officials of Paterson, NJ. With some elections having single digit separation of final counts, fraud can be a real problem!

Might be voter AND election fraud. A question in my mind is for all the people who didn't get their ballots and apparently they went to one place, how did that happen? Were they all mailed to the same address, was someone driving around stealing them out of mailboxes, was a postal employee to blame? Another question is, after all the years of voting by mail we don't really have any examples of this type of fraud, but as soon as it becomes a controversy, an obvious example appears?
The final though is, it was caught, easily caught. In any type of mass fraid like that, it only takes one person who didn't get their ballot to go in and find out that someone else cast it and cry foul (which is one reason I'm a bit suspicious that a big example only seems to have showed up after it became a political issue).

According to the article and commentary the Election Committee will be validating the mailed in ballots as well as checking signatures. This is one of the reasons, I oppose a national mail in ballot initiative. I understand the need for absentee ballots, but even then, there is a potential for fraud. A single vote doesn't mean anything if the person counting that vote lacks integrity.

Cpl (Join to see) - This instance seemed particularly ham fisted. They used the ballots of real people instead of trying to register a bunch of people who didn't exist (and thus wouldn't notice that they didn't get their ballot and when checking would find that someone else cast their vote).

SPC Kevin Ford Either way, fraud is fraud. If a message doesn't resonate with the electors, you don't get elected. And lying to the electors to get elected should be grounds for a recall. Again, if your message doesn't resonate, maybe government isn't the right place.
