According to its findings, voter fraud, especially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-discussed-plans-for-a-business-that-would-include-joe-biden-emails-show\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden Discussed Plans For A Business That Would Include Joe Biden, Emails Show\">fraud related<\/a> to mail-in ballots, may have been common in the 2020 election. This conclusion isn\u2019t based on questionable allegations but on voters\u2019 own responses to the poll questions.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2-long d-flex justify-content-center\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-1557818417\">\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1379703300879-0\" class=\"mb-30\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-02d43004df4109bab0fcd5e62185b969 fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-2\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-02d43004df4109bab0fcd5e62185b969\"><\/div>\n<p>The Heartland Institute\/Rasmussen survey, which was conducted from Nov. 30 to Dec. 6, asked likely voters who cast ballots in 2020 questions about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-mike-lindell-visits-trump-in-white-house-then-media-captures-pictures-of-his-notes-to-president-referring-to-crimes-and-insurrection-act\/\" title=\"BREAKING: Mike Lindell Visits Trump in White House \u2013 Then Media Captures Pictures of His Notes to President Referring to Crimes and Insurrection Act\">fraudulent activities<\/a>, without telling them such actions were a form of voter fraud. The results were stunning. One in five people who voted by mail admitted to engaging in at least one kind of potential voter fraud, seriously calling into question the security of widespread mail-in balloting.<\/p>\n<p>For example, one question asked, \u201cDuring the 2020 election, did you cast a mail-in ballot in a state where you were no longer a permanent resident?\u201d Such an action nearly always constitutes fraud. Incredibly, 17 percent of voters said \u201cyes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another question asked if \u201ca friend or family member\u201d filled out a respondent\u2019s ballot, \u201cin part or in full,\u201d on behalf of the respondent, which is illegal in some states. Nineteen percent of mail-in voters who responded to the survey answered \u201cyes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even more remarkably, 21 percent of respondents admitted to <em>filling out a ballot<\/em> for someone they know, such as a spouse or child, and 17 percent confessed to signing a ballot or ballot envelope \u201con behalf of a friend or family member, with or without his or her permission\u201d \u2014 both potential forms of illegal voting.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-51a4d8fb4f62548d3dcaca7fb96c4aab fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-6\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-51a4d8fb4f62548d3dcaca7fb96c4aab\"><\/div>\n<p>Taken together, these results strongly indicate fraud and illegal voting heavily affected mail-in balloting in the 2020 election. Even if a fraction of the people admitting wrongdoing here are actually guilty, that would still equal the electoral margin for 2020.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an incredibly important finding since that contest involved more mail-in ballots than any other election in U.S. history. Election officials report that of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfr.org\/blog\/2020-election-numbers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">159 million ballots cast in 2020<\/a>, more than 68 million were submitted by mail, about <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/health-elections-coronavirus-pandemic-election-2020-campaign-2016-f6b627a5576014a55a7252e542e46508\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">43<\/a> percent\u00a0of the total. In addition, as the MIT Election Data and Science Lab <a href=\"https:\/\/elections-blog.mit.edu\/articles\/deep-dive-absentee-ballot-rejection-2020-general-election\">noted<\/a>, \u201cthe dramatic increase in the raw number of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/more-suspicious-elections-absentee-data-from-detroit-36-of-absentee-ballots-returned-were-from-people-who-were-not-listed-as-being-sent-an-absentee-ballot\/\" title=\"More Suspicious Elections Absentee Data from Detroit: 36% of Absentee Ballots Returned Were From People Who Were Not Listed as Being Sent an Absentee Ballot\">absentee ballots cast<\/a> was accompanied by a significant decrease in the overall absentee rejection rate for the country: from 0.96 percent in 2016 to 0.79 percent in 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If the recent Heartland Institute\/Rasmussen survey is accurate and one in five ballots were, in fact, fraudulent, that would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-of-south-africa-rages-against-travel-bans-over-omicron-variant\/\" title=\"President of South Africa Rages Against Travel Bans over Omicron Variant\">suggest greater<\/a> than 13 million ballots should not have been counted nationwide in 2020. That\u2019s far more than the margin of victory for President Biden in the popular vote, about 7 million.<\/p>\n<p>As troubling as these findings are, however, additional questions in the Heartland Institute\/Rasmussen survey suggest voter fraud and illegal voting may have been even worse than the one-in-five figure suggests. For instance, 8 percent of <em>all<\/em> respondents \u2014 not just those who voted by mail \u2014 said they were offered \u201cpay\u201d or \u201creward\u201d in return for voting.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-85cb4c4781cce69af6ed262f64ff7c0d fdrlst__b89e9-paragraph-10\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-85cb4c4781cce69af6ed262f64ff7c0d\"><\/div>\n<p>Equally disturbing, 10 percent of voters said \u201ca friend, family member, co-worker, or other acquaintance\u201d admitted to them that he or she \u201ccast a mail-in ballot in 2020 in a state other than his or her state of permanent residence.\u201d Eleven percent said that \u201ca friend, family member, co-worker, or other acquaintance\u201d admitted to filling out someone else\u2019s ballot.<\/p>\n<p>These questions could indicate far more fraud occurred than anyone previously thought.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also worth remembering that presidents are not elected by a national popular vote but through the Electoral College. The three states in which Trump and Biden were closest \u2014 Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin \u2014 were all decided by fewer than 21,000 votes.<\/p>\n<p>Biden narrowly won each of those contests, but if he had lost those three states, he wouldn\u2019t have reached the 270 electoral vote threshold needed to win the presidency. Instead, the Electoral College vote would have been a tie, <a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/What_happens_if_there_is_a_tie_in_the_Electoral_College%3F_(2020)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pushing the decision to the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.<\/a> With such razor-thin margins and the results of the recent Heartland\/Rasmussen voter fraud survey in mind, it\u2019s hard not to wonder how big of an effect fraud truly had on the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>But regardless of how much fraud occurred, one thing is absolutely certain: States must take appropriate legislative action to protect the integrity of the next presidential election so that all Americans can be confident that the winner of the 2024 campaign will capture the White House fair and square. <\/p>\n<p>There is already substantial evidence that voter fraud could play a significant role in 2024. Another survey conducted in March and April by the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen shows that <a href=\"https:\/\/heartland.org\/opinion\/heartland-institute-poll-shows-nearly-three-in-10-voters-would-vote-illegally-in-2024-presidential-election\/\">28 percent<\/a> of likely voters now say they would commit at least one form of illegal voting during the 2024 election, \u201cif given the opportunity.\u201d Interestingly, respondents\u2019 willingness to commit fraud was similar among Republicans, Democrats, and independents.<\/p>\n<p>There is some good news, however. The threat of voter fraud can be limited dramatically by changing mail-in ballot rules. Voters who are physically able to cast their ballots in person should be required to do so, or they should be mandated to have their ballot signature notarized, significantly reducing opportunities for fraud. Lawmakers could fund public programs to increase access to free notaries for those who need them.<\/p>\n<p>According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, just three states require notaries for mail-in ballots \u2014 Mississippi, Missouri, and Oklahoma. Only nine additional states mandate that a voter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncsl.org\/elections-and-campaigns\/table-14-how-states-verify-voted-absentee-mail-ballots\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">obtain one or more non-notary witness signatures when casting a ballot by mail<\/a>. Most states require neither a witness nor a notary to verify signatures.<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers must ensure widespread voter fraud does not happen in future elections. That can only occur if mail-in voting systems are radically improved. Time is running out for legislators to fix these major threats to American self-government.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fdrlst__b89e9-b34530a58a6659e614275c6ec0ff7a89 fdrlst__b89e9-after-post-content\" id=\"fdrlst__b89e9-b34530a58a6659e614275c6ec0ff7a89\"><\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">    \t\t\t\t\t   \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the last three years, the corporate press and several Biden White House officials have maintained that there is no widespread evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 election, labeling it the &#8220;most secure&#8221; in U.S. history.
