In Colorado, Repubs attempt to get "absentee ballot" to every Repub voter...
This is a great advantage they have over Democrats, at least in our state. I do not know if they are as organized in other areas of the country? However, there are reports that up to 40% of the people have already voted in FL? If you think about it, this makes it very easy to mail in a vote on any day you're feeling sympathetic with your Party. The way absentee ballots are handled, no identification, easy to manipulate signatures, etc, should raise a lot of red flags. But, so far, no one seems to have questioned this Republican "tradition"..

2. I don't know about that but...
Some could vote by absentee ballot and not even know they voted if their signature was simply forged. Of course, the Repubs would never do anything like that.

3. That was my thought
The old line vote early and vote often.

The records at the polls are not marked when you vote absentee, You could easily walk in and vote on election day after voting absentee.
Do they ever check the records from the polls?

5. How closely can the signatures be checked for forgery?
My name could be on an absentee ballot and I may not have signed it??
