For those of you who sensibly won’t bother to read the article, here’s the upshot:
The carrier apparently changed not ballots, but primary mail-in absentee request forms.
On 62.5% of the forms, the change was in the party affiliation; on the other 37.5% of the forms, the change wasn’t specified.
Thus, had this nefarious scheme gone undetected, 62.5% of the applicants would have received a mail-in ballot for the wrong party. Presumably, they would have been too stupid to tell, and their votes would ultimately have been discarded, or, worse, they would have voted in the primary for a candidate in a party other then their own.
Of all of the party affiliations changed, all were changed from Democrat to Republican. So . . . it sounds as though it’s the Republicans who were trying to perpetrate the fraud, not Democrats.
Worst of all, this would have affected eight – count 'em, eight – ballot requests.
Now: aren’t you glad that you didn’t read this stupid article?
Anyone who sees this as vindication for Trump is clearly desperate.
