Mail in voting is so unsecure and vulnerable to voter fraud it is incredulous that anyone denies it.

Hundreds of Mail-In Votes Already Set Aside Due to Voter Fraud Claims in Paterson

More than 800 mail-in votes in one of New Jersey's largest cities have already been set aside, according to a county spokesperson, as an election is marred by allegations of voter fraud.
Those hundreds of votes represent about six percent of all ballots that have been sent in thus far in Paterson's election Tuesday, the county spokesman said, which couldn't be held through traditional in-person methods due to the coronavirus pandemic. There are claims that mass batches of ballots are being sent in after images showed bundles of mail-in votes.
A town over, in Haledon, a post office spokesman confirms a bundle of 300 Paterson city ballots bundled in a mailbox there. A statement from postal inspectors said that their findings were sent to the attorney general's office and the Board of Elections. The mayor of Paterson says the voting problems could be criminal.
"If they are finding bundles of ballots in mailboxes, then the appropriate authorities mist take the appropriate action," Mayor Andre Sayegh said.
There have been reports of postal workers leaving stacks of ballots in building lobbies because voting rolls have outdated addresses listed. Two candidates from one ward have been pointing fingers as to who is to blame, while a third said mail-vote fraud is a major problem this election.

The 3rd Ward happened to have the highest number of disqualified ballots – roughly 1,150 votes, or about one out of every four that was submitted, according to various reports released by election officials.
The 2nd Ward has the highest number of disqualifications, with more than 900, followed by the 5th Ward with 480 and the 1st Ward with 350.
County officials say they will notify each voter whose ballot was disqualified. But that had not happened as of Friday, when the names were first made public. Among those on the list were former school board members Eddie Gonzalez and Danilo Inoa, the son of former 1st Ward Councilman James Staton, the brother of 6th Ward councilman Al Abdelaziz and the wife of Passaic County Freeholder Theodore “TJ” Best.
“I’m very disturbed with this system,” said Staton. “Everybody whose vote didn’t count should contest it.”
Also among those whose votes were disqualified was 91-year-old Tom Fuscaldo, the former president of the Paterson Taxpayers Association and a regular attendee of City Council meetings.
