#absenteeballot — Public Fediverse posts

@cbarbermd

And if I recall correctly, the most frequent form of #VoteByMail fraud by far was #Republican widowers applying for and mailing in an #AbsenteeBallot for a recently #DeceasedSpouse

That said, it was extremely rare, but a Republican action non-the-less

#VisuallyImpaired #voters sue #NewHampshire over changes to #Absentee #BallotAccess

The plaintiffs say the new law will deter some voters with #disabilities from participating in the democratic process at all, even after they have registered to vote

By Steven Porter Globe Staff, Updated August 21, 2025, 9:30 a.m.

"Three people with visual impairments are suing New Hampshire officials to challenge the constitutionality of a law that will soon tighten #PhotoID requirements for voters seeking an #AbsenteeBallot.

"The plaintiffs — Adele Robertson of #ExeterNH, Daniel Frye of #ConcordNH, and Regina Wilson of #BrentwoodNH — allege the new law, known as #SenateBill287, will impose a significant burden on every #AbsenteeVoter statewide.

" 'And, in some cases, these burdens will entirely prevent voters from exercising their #RightToVote,' their lawsuit states.
Under the new rules imposed by #SB287, voters will be required to either bring a photo ID to their local election officials to request an absentee ballot in person, or submit a copy of their ID or a notarized signature along with their application.
While proponents said the legislation will better protect election integrity, critics said the changes will add barriers that disproportionately impact #seniors, voters with #disabilities, and those living in #rural parts of the state."

San Francisco, we can do better than this! Boost to spread the word.

With less than one week until the last day to vote, only 23% of registered SF voters have returned their ballots.

It's better to return your ballot sooner rather than later so you have time to fix any problems that could keep your vote from being counted.

If there's a problem with your returned ballot, the SF Department of Elections will try to contact you to fix the problem.

⭐ Do democracy a favor and vote early! ⭐ Put your ballot into an official drop box or bring it to the City Hall Voting Center. You can still mail your ballot, but remember, in San Francisco it must be postmarked by or on Election Day to be counted.

Get all our unbiased voting information at lwvsf.org/vote.

Returned ballots in San Francisco are looking up from one week ago. About 10% of ballots have already been returned and accepted.

It's better to return your ballot sooner rather than later! Then, if there's a problem, you'll have plenty of time to fix it.

Some ballots are coming in with problems that could keep them from being counted.

If you don't sign your ballot return envelope or if the signature doesn't match the one in your voter record, the Department of Elections will try to contact you to fix the problem.

And if you're a military or overseas voter returning your ballot by fax, you must also send in your "oath of voter" form. Get the form at https://www.sf.gov/sites/default/files/2024-09/N24%20Voter%20Oath%20and%20Ballot%20Return%20Form%20-%20ENCH%20-%20FINAL.pdf
