Help roll back voter registration fraud in Virginia

Last May the Virginia State Board of Elections approved electronic signatures on absentee ballot applications. Unfortunately they failed to define what they meant by an electronic signature. Now the same staff who recommended that the citizen block on the voter registration form be optional has instructed registrars to accept a typed name with "electronic signature" in parenthesis behind it as an electronic signature. This is being exploited by third party entities who are submitting absentee ballot requests for voters without the voter being aware of the process.

The State Board of Election is meeting on October 6th and this may be on their agenda. It is critical to the integrity and uniformity of the elections process that they define an electronic signature for the purpose of signing an absentee ballot request as something that can be directly connected to the voter such as a user name and password, a biometric, a government supplied identification device with PKI technology or their actual signature on a pad. They must also vote to allow registrars to reject electronically signed absentee ballot applications that have been submitted by a third party when there is no proof the voter has signed the form.

Please contact the members of the State Board of Elections before their meeting on Tuesday 6 October to inform them of your concerns about the lack of definition in electronic signatures and urge them to define them in a manner that removes all doubt that the electronic signature is truly by the voter.

What's happening is that an organization is buying up mailing lists of people who live in Fairfax County and comparing them to the voter registration rolls. For names they find who are not registered to vote, they complete a voter registration card, type a "signature" and mail it in. The person is then registered to vote.

Fraud #1 is that the new voter does not know that they have been registered to vote.

Fraud #2 is that the person may not even be eligible to vote.

Fraud #3 is that the person completing the form can put any address they want, then request an absentee ballot.

Sounds like a job for Brian S. He can at least weigh in on the issue.

As of September 16th, 93 absentee ballot applications with "electronic signatures" had been received in Fairfax County.

Surprise! The vast majority of them (~87) had come from two different email addresses.

When Fairfax County contacted the voters due to incorrect information, it was learned that they had not filled out the form. Someone had asked them if they would like an absentee ballot and they had responded in the affirmative.

THE LAW: Virginia does not allow proxy signatures on absentee ballot applications. The voter is required to specify the justification for which they are requesting an absentee ballot and sign under penalty of law that the justification is valid.

Why isn't someone banging on the doors of the fraudsters with search warrants and subpoenas?

Yawn. Another "problem" that basically never happens. Contards keep crying about voter fraud, and studies keep failing to turn up evidence of more than one or two fake votes. Try harder, you vote-suppressing fascists.

Except in this case they already have evidence of 87 fraudulent illegal requests for absentee ballots.

When an absentee ballot request has nothing more than a typed name with "(electronic signature)" behind it, there is no way to connect that request to a voter. This is especially true when that electronically signed request comes from a third party email. Someone could request an absentee ballot for you and you would not know it until you tried to vote on November 3rd and were told that you cannot vote because you were sent an absentee ballot.

It does happen and people have been sent to jail for it. If your side would stop trying to cheat the system, you probably wouldn't see as much of an effort to block your cheating ways.
