This is straight up FUD.
Yes, you can change a printable ballot form that you then have to PRINT OUT AND RETURN before it is counted. This is no more an "exploit" than a printing a blank ballot, filling it in, and sending it in under someone else's name, or showing up at a polling place and voting as someone else.
It's also fraud and a felony for anyone who does it...
- evan_ 6y agoNot just return it: Return it in a certified, signed ballot envelope that was mailed to a registered voter
- 2ion 6y ago> It's also fraud and a felony for anyone who does it... Because that stops people who are planning to tamper an election in the first place?
- SV_BubbleTime 6y agoWhew, well, that’s good. So the posts about how in Washington they cancel the original ballot when you go through the print process for a new one are not correct? That seemed like too obvious a flaw!
- throwawayforce 6y agoThe parent commentor is being strangely dismissive and they are 100% wrong. In washington merely printing out a new ballot will immediately cancel the old one. It says it on the damn website. I can't speak for Oregon, but this is not FUD. I can't imagine any good intentions from someone being so disinterested in the possibility of fraud.
- SV_BubbleTime 6y agoThat seems impossibly wrong! Such a glaring flaw in the system should be big news. Has anyone but 4chan written about this? I wasn’t able to find anything.
