Missing Ballots

According to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission nearly 15 million mail in ballots are unaccounted for. These are ballots delivered to the wrong addresses,  sent to vacant locations, sent to registered voters who have died, and some ballots that were never requested, were never returned. 

This doesn't necessarily show that widespread fraud DID occur, but it does show that mail in ballots, not properly handled, can create some chaos. Furthermore, there is no tracking system that shows whether or not these missing ballots were used. Where the fraud might rear it ugly head is that these unaccounted ballots could be used for nefarious purposes. Also, if these ballots, that were intended for actual voters, didn't get delivered properly, those people were unable to cast their vote. And remember, the overall difference in 2020 was supposedly about eight million. 

Think about these missing or undeliverable numbers: 

440,000 ballots went missing in Pennsylvania. The margin there was 81,000 votes. 

83,000 ballots are unaccounted for in Wisconsin. The margin was 20,000 

In Georgia the margin was 11,000. 244,000 ballots went missing. 

Could those missing ballots caused the election to turn one way of another? No one knows for sure. There data doesn't break down party affiliation. I would imagine that someone with 10 pound head could dig deep and find an answer. 

Nevertheless, this many missing ballots goes deeper than just the outcome of an election. It goes to the heart of the system. In a country so evenly divided, ensuring that every person who wishes to vote should be at the top of everyone's list of priorities. Disenfranchisement causes low voter turnout. It can make people feel that their vote truly doesn't count. It causes people to question the integrity of an election. And it can further deepen the wedge that now exists in our country.
