Do not let your family and friends fall for the lie that cast mail-in ballots are an abstraction that can be duplicated or fabricated in whatever quantity necessary to achieve a desired result, as an alarming number of unscrupulous politicians and pundits would have you believe.
• A mail-in ballot is tied to a very specific place. In Philadelphia, that’s a neighborhood or a sub-neighborhood. It may be as small as a few blocks.
• There’s a one-to-one correspondence between the number of ballots cast in a precinct and the number of voters who voted.
• There’s a one-to-one correspondence between the number of ballots cast in a precinct and the number of voters who voted.
One-to-one correspondence means something crucial: every ballot — EVERY BALLOT — came from a different, named voter who cast it freely. We can’t know how each of these singular voters voted, but we know that they did vote.
The names of the people who vote in elections are a matter of public record. You can download the entire list of registered Pennsylvania voters for $20 and see what elections each of them voted in. Again, not how they voted, but when they did.
A cool thing about that one-to-one correspondence between voters & votes cast: the number of named voters listed as casting a vote in whatever community you choose to look at will match the number of votes that were cast there. The people aren’t made up. You can visit them.
(This is a thought experiment. You don’t need to visit them. They’re busy and sick of election stuff. But you could.)
So if you think ballots are magically materializing to cause your guy to lose an election: show your work.
SHOW YOUR GODDAMN WORK.
Show where there are more votes than voters. I mean specific neighborhoods.
You won’t, because you can’t.
