In the November 2020 general e******n, whose chaotic results have been vigorously disputed, almost 15 million mail-in b****ts went unaccounted for, according to a good-government group that focuses on e*******l integrity. The research brief by the Indianapolis-based Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) notes that as the nation dealt last year with the CCP v***s (which causes C****-**), various U.S. states “hastily pushed traditionally in-person v**ers to mail b****ts while, at the same time, trying to learn how to even administer such a scenario.”
PILF describes itself as “the nation’s only public interest law firm dedicated wholly to e******n integrity,” existing “to assist states and others to aid the cause of e******n integrity and fight against lawlessness in American e******ns.” Former Justice Department civil rights attorney J. Christian Adams, now president of PILF, said the results don’t bode well for mail-in v****g.
“These figures detail how the 2020 push to mail v****g needs to be a one-year experiment,” Adams said in a statement. Bills pending in Congress such as H.R. 1, the proposed “For The People Act,” “risk inflating these numbers even further, pushing our e******n system toward error, disenfranchisement, and ultimately widespread doubt about e******n outcomes,” Adams said.
“Some of the counties with the least experience in administering mail v****g rejected the most b****ts nationwide. If continued, 2020-style chaos will become the norm.” PILF says it had warned that lost b****ts would be an even bigger problem in 2020 compared to previous years. In total, e******ns in 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020 saw more than 43.1 million unaccounted for mail-in b****ts.
Federal data compilations show that during the 2020 e******n, there were 14.7 million b****ts whose whereabouts were deemed “unknown” by e******n officials, according to the brief. To gather the data, the U.S. E******n Assistance Commission asked local officials how many b****ts were not returned as v**ed, were undeliverable, or were otherwise “unable to be tracked.”
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) inspector general most recently reported that only 13 percent of mail b****ts in the 2018 general e******n used the official tracking system, which means there is a wide variety of things that can happen to a b****t in the “unknown” column. “A b****t can be put in the wrong mailbox and land in an unfriendly neighbor’s trash. It can be thrown out with your unpaid bills. It can be left outside for the wind to carry the last mile (like seen in Nevada in 2020). E******n officials simply do not know what happened. Unknown b****ts are the greatest blind spot in the American e*******l system,” the brief states.
In the 2020 e******n, there were 14.7 million “unknown” b****ts, along with 1.1 million undeliverable b****ts, and 560,814 rejected b****ts.
PILF put these figures in perspective by noting that President Joe Biden carried Arizona by 10,457 v**es, yet Maricopa County, the state’s largest county, reportedly sent b****ts to 110,092 outdated or wrong addresses. The post-v****g audit process in Maricopa is still in progress.
The scenario roughly repeated itself in Nevada, a state where Biden prevailed by 33,596 v**es, even though Clark County “bounced” 93,279 b****ts. “The lesson is clear: increased reliance on mass mail v****g must correlate with aggressive v***r r**********n list maintenance,” the brief concludes. The report notes that many counties across the country had large numbers of “unknown” b****ts.
In California, Los Angeles County had 1,491,459 such b****ts, followed by Orange County (482,940), Riverside County (454,911), San Diego County (317,614), San Bernardino County (274,937), Santa Clara County (251,840), and Sacramento County (241,367). Clark County, Nevada, had 724,708 such b****ts. Essex County, New Jersey, had 248,290 unknown b****ts, and Maricopa County had 229,123 b****ts in the unknown category.
