Flood the post office with them. Let them get cited as voting fraud via;ations, and generally screw up the works, particularly now that it appears they are backing down a little on disabling the postal service.

All postal workers should be trained in spotting fraudulent ballots, because ballots are hard to replicate due to the various ID numbers. The ones here in AZ are quite elaborate and "classy" (for want of a better word).
It's not easy to just get ahold of a spare ballot that's not sent or handed directly to you. This notion that it's a simple matter to get a bunch of ballots is pretty ridiculous.

(16,616 posts)Ours have a small perforated window that covers some of the part that the voter fills out, and it is ripped out at some point (maybe by a machine) when the votes are counted.
Counterfeit ballots should, in theory, be incredibly obvious, with bogus ID and tracking numbers. And they would have to be individualized to districts, because, for example, we're having a Town Council runoff on our ballot.
