A new proposal out of New York seeks to let voters submit absentee ballots over the internet – and it could be a complete DISASTER.
The proposal, which was of course introduced by a group of Democrat lawmakers, calls for allowing New Yorkers to submit ballots for local, state, AND FEDERAL elections using “electronic absentee ballots” submitted via email.
These lawmakers claim that the change will only apply to members of the military serving overseas and people with “disabilities” but everyone knows that this is just the beginning. Give a mouse a cookie and he’ll ask for a glass of milk. The obvious next step, after they flesh out how easily it is to cheat this way into winning every election would be to let the masses vote this way and roll out their election sabotage on a much bigger scale.
Those in favor of this cyber voting plan argue that it’s about “preserving the right to a secret ballot for the military and the disabled” – but that’s a load of crap.
Election watchdog groups have already slammed the proposal arguing the move would jeopardize cybersecurity and further erode confidence in any election results to come out of the state.
In a letter to legislative leaders, Watchdog groups Reinvent Albany and Common Cause New York said they have “grave concerns” about the proposed legislation. They warned the move would “put the security of New York’s elections at high risk for cyber incidents, and undermine public confidence in election results.”
“At a time when election security and public confidence are under relentless attack, New York should not rely on insecure technology for voters that produces unprovable election results,” the groups wrote in the letter.
But that’s exactly WHY the Democrats are pushing this kind of proposal. Emailed ballots would be FAR EASIER to alter to show whatever result the Democrats want.
They’ve recently been caught on camera tampering with voting machines in Arizona, but this email system would make it MUCH harder to detect any sort of tampering.
“The New York State Board of Elections should establish and maintain an electronic absentee ballot submission system which will allow people who face barriers to voting to retain their right to vote by secret ballot,” the bill’s summary states.
However the government groups vehemently oppose this move and note that there is “broad consensus” that electronic ballot return presents “severe security risks to the integrity of our elections, because ballots cast over the internet can be intercepted, deleted and altered at scale—and can therefore change election results.”
They referenced several reviews conducted by federal agencies – including the FBI – which found that the risk associated with this type of ballot is far too high.
The agencies warn that electronic ballot return “faces significant security risks to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of voted ballots,” ultimately affecting the tabulation and results of elections.
Email exchange provides “limited security protections” and is “not considered suitable” for sensitive communications, the federal agencies further pointed out.
“While this may be a convenient tool for distributing or receiving ballots, policy makers and election officials should be aware of the risks and challenges associated with email,” the report stated.
On top of Democrat rigging, the change would open the door for foreign adversaries to easily interfere in our elections. In 2019, the bipartisan U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence issued a report claiming foreign governments were “actively” trying to attack American election systems and suggested that one way to resist these attacks would be to avoid online voting – the very thing Democrats are pushing for.
Do these people not understand that elections are the most important thing that happens in this country? It should be the most investigated thing to see that it has no fraud involved. Outcomes of elections effect every person in the US regardless of their politics. They should be one of the most honest things that takes place.
I’m afraid thereis no honest politicians anymore. Their number one and only priority is not to help the American people but to get re-elected..
There is no honesty left in politics anymore. Especially in the Democrat Party. They know very well what they are doing, which is why they are doing it. They do nothing without it being well planned out before hand. Including all of the mass shootings and school shootings. Surprise! The shooters all turned out to be Democrats. Gun control. We are collateral damage.
The Left and the DemoKKKRATS (but I repeat myself) are panicing because the American People are becoming aware of just how Leftist (read Communist) they REALLY are and how they want to control their very lives. All that remains for the DemoKKKRATS to do is cheat in elections in order to win. This is easier in Blue states and becoming much more difficult in Red states. Massive population migrations from Blue to Red are also changing voting patterns as lessening populations mean less influence/presence in Congress. Americans must be vigilant in preventing voter fraud in the 2024 election or else even more of our Freedoms will be usurped by a “Deep State” Totalitarian government that answers to no one.
Is it any worse than allowing DNC press gangs to go door to door harvesting ballots? Or renting voting machines from a company with ties to tax shirker ($8B and counting) Nazi affiliated George Soros?
The claimed 16% increase in election turnout (never before has there been an increase that high) should be reason enough to redo the 2020 election.
The States are no longer United. Maybe it’s time to split. or from a more slack union along the lines of the EU.
USA = United SOCIALIST of America !

OH sure. Add another open switch to an already fouled election process. That makes perfect sense as all democrat plans do. Shut down oil and gas in this country so we can buy it from big polluters overseas and ship it in big diesel container ships across the ocean. Thats gonna reduce carbon for sure.
Good for nothing democrats must spend every waking hour finding ways to cheat.They know they can’t win
without cheating. Makes me wonder what kind of lousy parents they had, Did they teach them when they were young the only way to win is to cheat and bury anyone who gets in their way. The only way to vote is to walk into a voting borth and put your vote in. No more mail in voting no more drop boxes, the only other people in that place when you vote is you and the police making sure every thing is on the up and up. No stashing ballets in a box under the tables to be counted later . You voted and it was counted then and there. Keep the democrats out of the place unless they are voting other wise they have no business being there. and as far as scum bag Obama goes he has no right trying to pass laws on gun control he is a has been so he needs to shut his big mouth and go the hell away like other past presidents have done. Obama and Biden are the most corrupt two people on earth.
Amen!!!!
Any American that loves this country and our freedoms do not vote this way. Go and vote in person and by the way you illegals don’t go near our voting places it won’t be good GO HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
