More than 3M ballots were cast in Wisconsin -- officials have flagged just 27 as possible frauds

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Of the more than 3 million ballots cast in the 2020 election in Wisconsin, only 27 are potentially fraudulent, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

Sixteen of the ballots in question had a UPS store as the mailing address rather than a residence as is required, the AP reported. The clerk sent the voters a letter giving them 30 days to register at a residential address for future elections.

Aside from those cases, four people voted both in person and by mail, one person was a convicted felon, and one absentee ballot was returned by the voter's son. In addition, three people voted in two places, one person returned two absentee ballots, and one person wasn't allowed to vote because they had been adjudicated incompetent.

Since ballots are secret, it's unclear who the people voted for. It's also unclear if they were Democrat or Republican since voters in the state do not register by political party, the AP noted.

Doesn't make the dotard happy I imagine.

1. Well let's just throw the whole thing out and do it again

I wonder how much bigger of a margin Joe would win by now.

2. Wait, I thought there were thousands and thousands...(rolling my eyes)

You know every single election official (GOP and Dem) across the country said nothing fishy went on. Every single one of them.

Smoothest election ever, they said.

3. I take it from the use of the word "officials" in the original op headline that

reTHUG/Fascist/Insurrectionist/Cultists are not being referred to. Now THAT's refreshing!

8. Yes, those officials are city and county clerks

who manage elections along with many other responsibilities.

4. Wait til the Cyber Ninjas have a go at it.

I hope all the chicken farmers have been instructed to save their chicken shit until the Ninjas can sift through it.

5. It should be illegal for journalists to use numbers in articles...

...unless they have a degree or some form of certification that they understand statistics.

It would be so simple to say, "3 million ballots were all analyzed for fraud and only 27 suspect ballots were found." And maybe that's what happened. They don't say. They want to "cover" the "story," so they have to tell us how some of the votes were caught and what is wrong with them. Who cares?

If it's just "3 million votes were cast and only 27 were reported suspect," it's meaningless. It's like saying 100 million people went swimming yesterday and only one was reported bitten by a clam. People who are terrified of clams will still avoid the beach.

By the way, "clams got legs."

6. You have a better chance of winning the Powerball than you do finding an actual case of voter fraud.

7. Another source indicated that 16 of the 27 were in one city. LaCrosse, Wisconsin.

At a UPS store. The blame should be on both the voter and the LaCrosse city election board. In Wisconsin, elections are conducted and administered at the city or township level. They really should go with county.

Voters registering with a UPS mailing address apparently don't understand what a physical address is compared to mailing address.

The LaCrosse city election board should have on file every legitimate residential address. Meaning that business addresses are not legitimate unless the voter also lives at the address. And they should know what addresses might be a problem and respond when they receive a form with that address. Addresses that might be a problem would be at the post office, any private mailing business.

9. What if you live in your car? Don't get to vote?

10. There is a way

People who are homeless can register with a letter from any organization that helps homeless people. See https://elections.wi.gov/forms/el-131-fillable on the back side.

11. Wisconsin provides an option. But that wasn't the problem here.
