Since the tumultuous 2020 election and the rapid expansion of mail-in balloting, the mainstream media have aggressively pushed the narrative that this unsupervised system is entirely secure and fraud-free. Anyone expressing concerns about the risks associated with widespread mail-in voting is immediately dismissed as a conspiracy theorist or labeled an “election denier” by the media establishment.
However, in a surprising turn, several mainstream publications have recently released articles subtly acknowledging that the process may not be as foolproof as they have often claimed.
Just last week, NBC News, known for its close ties to the Democratic Party, published an article highlighting concerns about postal delivery delays and their potential impact on mail-in voting in the upcoming 2024 election. Representative Sylvia Garcia, a Democrat from Texas, expressed apprehension about the issue, emphasizing the need to address any obstacles or difficulties to avoid a repeat of the problems encountered during the 2020 election.
Postal delivery delays are just one of the issues undermining the media’s narrative of the infallibility of mail-in voting. CBS News conducted an investigation revealing a surge in mail theft, with complaints skyrocketing from under 60,000 in 2018 to over 250,000 in 2023. The U.S. Postal Service has failed to secure millions of universal “arrow keys” used to access bulk mailboxes, leading to rampant theft and security vulnerabilities nationwide.
Moreover, reported cases of assault and robbery against postal workers have been on the rise since 2014, according to data from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. These troubling trends directly contradict the assurances from Democrats and their media allies that universal mail-in balloting is entirely safe and immune to fraud.
In reality, the mail-in voting process is susceptible to errors and malfeasance, a fact quietly acknowledged by the Cybersecurity Infrastructure and Security Agency (CISA) ahead of the 2020 election. Despite this acknowledgment, CISA chose to suppress information about the vulnerabilities of mail-in balloting and instead targeted online posts discussing these issues for censorship by Big Tech companies.
Widespread, unsupervised mail-in voting provides fertile ground for left-wing groups to exploit low-effort votes and gain an unfair advantage for Democratic candidates. The recent revelations from mainstream outlets serve as a stark reminder that the integrity of our electoral system cannot be taken for granted, and efforts to address vulnerabilities in the mail-in voting process must be prioritized to safeguard the democratic process.
