Guy on Sander's Reddit admits he's committing voter fraud.

My parents as well as my uncle and aunt usually do not vote, so I asked them if I could vote for them as I'm more educated in the issues. They said yes!
So I just put stamps on 6 ballots and mailed them out!

I never thought of this problem with mail in voting but what would stop someone from literally paying people for their mail in ballots? Seems like it would be extremely easy.

1. The Sanders supporters will just say he's a Brock plant.

That's what they did with the guy in Nevada who admitted he changed his registration. After a few people in Nevada for Sanders criticized the guy, the entire Nevada for Sanders section of reddit was declared a Brock-funded conspiracy.

3. They use the same excuses conservatives have been

using for years when they get caught. "false flag operation!!" "conspiracy!". Some of this stuff is Alex Jones level intrigue.

6. I've rolled my eyes so many times I think I hurt myself.

Everything, and I mean *everything* is a conspiracy.

Unless Bernie wins something. Then, everything went perfectly smoothly.

8. Lol with the eye roll, TwilightZone.

I've done that myself.

9. I believe that the loudest Sanders supporters; the most obnoxious among them, are

Libertarian Alex Jones fans.

[TwilightZone]

10. And disgrunted former (current?) Ron Paul supporters.

Which, come to think of it, is the same thing.

11. Exactly. No sliver of daylight difference between the two factions. eom

[TwilightZone]

2. He covered his ass in a follow-up. He said he just told them who to vote for and they signed.

So, it's only kinda fraud-y. haha

The guy with the math comment is right, of course:

Parents + uncle + aunt is usually 4, plus the dude is 5, not 6.

Bernie math strikes again!

[sufrommich]

4. That's because someone mentioned to him that

what he did might be illegal.

[TwilightZone]

5. Yep

Oh, wait. Was that wrong? Should I have not done that? lol

7. Makes you wonder.

Should voting be more of an affirmative "act" rather than something as casual as returning a sweepstakes generic mailer?

There's a reason many people don't vote - they don't give a shit. Is this the 'swing voter' we want?

12. I'm 100% for mail-in voting.

You can essentially vote whenever you want, you don't have to schedule around work, school, etc., you don't have to find polling places that have been moved or closed, etc. You can do research while you're voting. In Florida, you don't have to get through the police roadblocks that the local GOP just coincidentally set up for the day of voting. In Arizona, you don't have to find the polling places, which are roughly as few and far between as abortion providers.

I think it's great.

13. Do you just receive a ballot in the mail...

or is it more like an absentee ballot request?

Do you have to "opt out" of voting at a polling place essentially?

I understand Oregon didn't have anywhere to go vote. It was all by mail, or dropping off at a ballot box by a certain time?

[TwilightZone]

14. Yep, they send you a ballot. You mail it back or drop it off at a ballot return box.

As I recall, Oregon has been mail-only since 2000.

[yallerdawg]

15. The lack of voting uniformity in the USA is astounding!

In Alabama, we have to show approved valid picture ID to vote.

West Coast just mails it in or drops it in a box.

Remarkable!

16. Blame the Constitution, though I think states have taken ridiculous advantage of the flexibility

The states can do almost whatever they want, especially after the Roberts court ruled that racism is dead and the Voting Rights Act was gutted.
