Wisconsin’s Vote-By-Mail Looked Bad. It Was Actually Worse

[GURPS]

But at least it all got sorted out, right? Not so fast there, folks. An investigation was launched by the postal service’s Inspector General, with the results only being released this week. And as it turns out, things were even worse than they first appeared. There were extensive problems with the mail-in ballots, with many either arriving too late to be counted, going to the wrong destination or never even making it to the voters at all. By the time all was said and done, it’s not entirely clear if they even produced any valid winners. (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinal)

The U.S. Postal Service has identified hundreds of absentee ballots for the April election that never made it to voters or couldn’t be counted because of postmark problems, a new report says.
The post office’s internal watchdog chalked the problems up to receiving outgoing absentee ballots at the last moment from election officials, inconsistent postmarking of ballots and one mail carrier’s inattention to getting absentee ballots to voters in Fox Point.
The 17-page report by the postal service’s inspector general accounts for some but not all of the problems that marred voting for the April election for state Supreme Court. Nearly 1 million people turned to mail voting because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Digging into the details of the IG’s report, this was more than just a case of a few random errors. In Fox Valley, they tracked three “mail tubs” full of ballots, totaling nearly 750 of them, that didn’t reach the voters in time for them to be legally filled out and returned. That debacle seems to have involved the postal service’s use of a third-party vendor to handle some of the workload. They didn’t deliver the ballots to the local post offices for delivery until 6 pm on the night before the election. And that wasn’t even all of them. The state Election Commission said that the number was closer to 1,600 ballots that failed to arrive in time just from that one district.

Sounds like another one of keep finding ballots until we get the winner we want elections. Which will happen if mail in is used this November.

Just more reason why the Democrats want mail in ballots.
They know the problems, and know they can use them to their advantage.

It's like Hogan suggests to mail out ballot applications for the Nov election. If the person wants a ballot, they fill out the application and mail it back to receive a mail-in ballot. Then AG Dickwad opens his pie hole saying it will be "catastrophic" if mail-in ballots are not sent out to everyone in the State.

We need to get rid of that fool bad. Frosh is a Royal POS.

At the Census - in years past, when conducting the decennial census (because we conduct many others that do more than just count people) - there have been many obstacles to sending out and collecting forms. One instance I can recall in '90 was that lots of forms got dumped in the lobby of large apartment buildings, specifically projects. Just dropped in a pile by USPS rather than added to each box.

Those instances - they didn't get counted. SPECIFICALLY. We have MANY ways of accurately estimating in instances where there's a hole in the data.
We still need the whole of the data - you can patch a hole in a boat, but if the boat is not there, no patching is going to help.

Sadly - we can't do this with VOTING. There's no legal way to insert votes based on statistical patterns that can be legally done. Nor should it. Just because you've always voted R or D for President, I cannot just plop your vote in based on past data, like I can with other data gathering.

Unless you died while a resident of Chicago, then its democrap all the way.
