Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Ill., wrote in Fox News on Thursday that if Democrats have their way and the general election is held entirely with mail-in ballots, this will “unquestionably invite fraud into elections.”
Davis wrote in an opinion piece that certain states, such as California, are planning on sending mail-in ballots to every registered voter in the state, and asks: “How can you send every registered voter a live ballot in the mail when you don’t keep accurate voter registration lists?”
He adds, “Allowing states to send all of their recorded registered voters a ballot without making states update their lists of registered voters would unquestionably invite fraud into elections.”
The congressman adds that Judicial Watch recently filed a lawsuit stating that the city of Los Angeles had more registered voters on its books than it had citizens, and concludes that, “If Democrats can federally mandate a nationwide all-mail election in November, election officials will be sending out more live ballots than voters, which will lead to fraudulent ballots being returned.”
