3. That's not election fraud

Your mother did not knowingly cast a ballot when she shouldn't have.

ANY of us who voted early could have died before election day. In those cases, the ballots (which are numbered) are removed and not counted.

As in all things, there are probably a few ballots like that that slip through the cracks and are counted. That is NOT the widespread "fraud" that Republicans scream about.

I've seen a few crazies on FB go on about cases where a ballot was sent to a person who was dead. I'm sure that happens all the time; Election boards don't automatically get notified when someone passes away. But, that's not fraud. It's only fraud if someone else in the house fills out the ballot and returns it.
