    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

  9. #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."

  13. @georgetakei A downside to mail voting: a controlling or abusive husband can insist on supervising his wife's vote, or even commit a felony by filling out her ballot himself.

    There's a lot to be said for the comfort and convenience of voting by mail, as one graphic meme had it, "at your kitchen table, with a cat in your lap, and a big book of information about the candidates and ballot questions provided by the state."

    There's also a lot to be said for the privacy of the voting booth.

  16. 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.

  22. I’ve been voting in elections for a very long time and there have been a few times where something happened that has stuck with me for years and made me feel concerned about voting with a mail or absentee ballot.

    In one election, I went to the precinct on election day, marked my ballot and put it in the tabulator. The tabulator spit it back out. I must have made a mistake or there was a stray mark on the ballot or who knows. The machine didn’t accept it. Tried 3 times, it spit it out each time. A precinct worker took the ballot and put it in a “spoiled ballot” pile and gave me a new ballot. I marked that one and it went through fine.

    But if the first ballot I’d marked had been something I mailed in or dropped off and an election worker was feeding it into the tabulator on election night, my vote wouldn’t have counted because I wouldn’t be there to have it spoiled and get a new one. It would just be put in the “bad ballot” pile.

    I feel like this election in November 2024 is so important that I want to put the ballot in the tabulator myself when in person voting starts. I live in Michigan, the races are competitive and extremely close here. Not just with presidential candidates but with representative candidates both state and federal. It makes me way too nervous that there might be a mistake and the tabulator will kick my ballot out and my vote won’t count on election night.

    To be clear, I completely trust our city clerk’s office to run a fair election, but if the tabulator spits out a ballot while the elector is not present, there’s nothing they can do to fix that. The ballot would have to be thrown out. It’s like the “hanging chad” of the modern day (in reference to the recount after the 2000 election) I feel in this election every vote is going to count, at least in Michigan and a few other states. I can’t afford to take the chance so I will be putting the ballot in the tabulator myself to make sure my ballot is counted.

  25. 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 sf.gov/sites/default/files/202
