Mail in ballot fraud in Beaufort Cty: a voter mailed in 2 ballots 2 days apart | Eastern NC Now

The sharp eyes of the Beaufort County Board of Elections staff caught and thwarted an attempt at vote fraud with mail-in ballots by a Democrat voter.  A military voter mailed in two separate ballots two days apart, both voted straight Democrat, and both were counted election night.  Both were in envelopes with the voter's return address.  The Board of Elections keeps the envelopes ballots are returned in, so this could be discovered.  With absentee ballots, the ballots can also be retrieved, and these two ballots were retrieved and the votes of one of them deducted from the totals.

This information is from one of the observers at the election canvas by the Beaufort County Board of Elections.

One wonders how this voter was able to do this.  Did he counterfeit one of the ballots with a photocopier?  Did the BOE make a mistake and send him two ballots? Whatever happened, every voter knows they are not supposed to vote twice.  It is u;nclear what action will be taken against this vote fraudster but he should be referred for prosecution.

THis is just one more example of how mail-in ballots are prone to vote fraud, a reality that was in the report of the Commission on US elections headed by Jimmy Carter.
