Confessions of a voter fraud: I was a master at fixing mail-in ballots
A top DEMOCRAT operative says voter fraud, especially with mail-in ballots, is no myth. He knows because he’s been doing it, on a grand scale, for decades.
Mail-in ballots have become the latest flashpoint in the 2020 elections. While many warned of widespread manipulation of the absentee vote enabled by COVID polling restrictions, DEMOCRATS and their media allies dismissed such concerns as unfounded.
But the political insider, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he fears prosecution, said fraud is more the rule than the exception.
His dirty work has taken him through the weeds of municipal and federal elections in Paterson, Atlantic City, Camden, Newark, Hoboken and Hudson County and his fingerprints can be found in local legislative, mayoral and congressional races across the Garden State.
Some of the biggest names and highest office holders in New Jersey have benefited from his tricks, according to campaign records The Post reviewed.
“An election that is swayed by 500 votes, 1,000 votes, it can make a difference,” the tipster said. “It could be enough to flip states.”
The whistleblower — whose identity, rap sheet and long history working as a consultant to various campaigns were confirmed by The Post — not only changed ballots himself over the years, but led teams of fraudsters and mentored at least 20 operatives in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania — a critical 2020 swing state.

“There is no race in New Jersey — from city council to United States Senate — that we haven’t worked on,” the tipster said. “I worked on a fire commissioner’s race in Burlington County. The smaller the race, the easier it is to do.”
A Bernie Sanders die-hard with no horse in the presidential race, he said he felt compelled to come forward.
Mail-in voting can be complicated — tough enough that 84,000 New Yorkers had their mailed votes thrown out in the June 2020 DEMOCRAT presidential primary for incorrectly filling them out.
But for political pros, they’re a piece of cake.
In New Jersey, for example, it begins with a blank mail-in ballot delivered to a registered voter in a large envelope.
Inside the packet is a return envelope, a “certificate of mail in voter” which the voter must sign, and the ballot itself.
That’s when the election-rigger springs into action.
Phony ballots
The ballot has no specific security features — like a stamp or a watermark — so the insider said he would just make his own ballots.
“I just put [the ballot] through the copy machine and it comes out the same way,” the insider said.
But the return envelopes are “more secure than the ballot. You could never recreate the envelope,” he said.
So they had to be collected from real voters.
He would have his operatives fan out, going house to house, convincing voters to let them mail completed ballots on their behalf as a public service. The fraudster and his minions would then take the sealed envelopes home and hold them over boiling water.
“You have to steam it to loosen the glue,” said the insider.
He then would remove the real ballot, place the counterfeit ballot inside the signed certificate, and reseal the envelope.
“Five minutes per ballot tops,” said the insider.
The insider said he took care not to stuff the fake ballots into just a few public mailboxes, but sprinkle them around town. That way he avoided the attention that foiled a sloppy voter-fraud operation in a Paterson, NJ, city council race this year, where 900 ballots were found in just three mailboxes.
“If they had spread them in all different mailboxes, nothing would have happened,” the insider said.
The tipster said sometimes postal employees are in on the scam.
“You have a postman who is a rabid anti-Trump guy and he’s working in Bedminster or some Republican stronghold. He can take those ballots, and knowing 95% are going to a Republican, he can just throw those in the garbage.”
In some cases, mail carriers were members of his “work crew,” and would sift ballots from the mail and hand them over to the operative.
More than 500 mail-in ballots in New York City never arrived at the Board of Elections — leaving hundreds disenfranchised. They eventually were discovered in April. “For some undetermined reason, some baskets of mail that were bound to the New York City Board of Elections were put off to the side at the Brooklyn processing facility,” city elections boss Michael Ryan said at the time of discovery.

Hitting up assisted-living facilities and “helping” the elderly fill out their absentee ballots was a gold mine of votes, the insider said.
“There are nursing homes where the nurse is actually a paid operative. And they go room by room by room to these old people who still want to feel like they’re relevant,” said the whistle-blower.
“They literally fill it out for them.”
The insider pointed to former Jersey City Mayor Gerald McCann, who was sued after a razor-thin victory for a local school board seat for tricking incompetent and ill residents of nursing homes into casting ballots for him.
McCann denied it, though he did admit to "assisting some nursing home residents" with absentee ballots.
When all else failed, the insider would send operatives to vote live in polling stations, particularly in states like New Jersey and New York that do not require voter ID.
Pennsylvania, also for the most part, does not.
The best targets were registered voters who routinely skip presidential or municipal elections — information which is publicly available.
“You fill out these index cards with that person’s name and district and you go around the city and say, ‘You’re going to be him, you’re going to be him,'” the insider said of how he dispatched his teams of dirty-tricksters.
At the polling place, the fake voter would sign in, “get on line and vote,” the insider said.
The impostors would simply recreate the signature that already appears in the voter roll as best they could.
In the rare instance that a real voter had already signed in and cast a ballot, the impersonator would just chalk it up to an innocent mistake and bolt.

The tipster said New Jersey homeless shelters offered a nearly inexhaustible pool of reliable — buy-able — voters.
“They get to register where they live in and they go to the polls and vote,” he said, laughing at the roughly $174 per vote Mike Bloomberg spent to win his third mayoral term.
He said he could have delivered the same result at a 70 percent discount — like when Frank “Pupie” Raia, a real estate developer, was convicted on federal charges for paying low-income residents 50 bucks a pop to vote how he wanted.
Organizationally, the tipster said, his voter-fraud schemes in the Garden State and elsewhere resembled Mafia organizations, with a boss (usually the campaign manager) handing off the day-to-day managing of the mob soldiers to the underboss (him).
The actual candidate was usually kept in the dark deliberately so they could maintain “plausible deniability.”
With mail-in ballots, partisans count ballots at the local board of elections — debating which ballots make the cut and which need to be thrown out because of irregularities.
Despite frequent claims that President Trump’s warning about vote fraud/voting buying with mail-in ballots is “baseless” or “without evidence” about mail-in vote fraud, there are numerous examples of vote fraud and vote buying with mail-in ballots in the United States and across the world.
Indeed, concerns over vote fraud and vote buying with mail-in ballots causes the vast majority of countries to ban mail-in voting unless the citizen is living abroad.
There are fraud problems with mail-in absentee ballots, but the problems with universal mail-in ballots are much more significant.
Still, most countries ban even absentee ballots for people living in their countries.
Most developed countries ban absentee ballots unless the citizen is living abroad or require photo IDs to obtain those ballots.
Even higher percentages of European Union or other European countries ban absentee for in country voters.
In addition, some countries that allow voting by mail for citizens living the country don’t allow it for everyone.
For example, Japan and Poland have limited mail-in voting to those who have certificates verifying that they are disabled.
France banned absentee voting in 1975 because of massive fraud in Corsica, where postal ballots were stolen or bought and voters cast multiple votes. Mail-in ballots were used to cast the votes for dead people.

THEY WERE AGAINST MAIL VOTING BEFORE THEY WERE FOR IT
From ultra-leftist Slate, in 2016:
Voter fraud does happen. As election law expert and occasional Slate contributor Rick Hasen has explained, voter fraud occurs through absentee ballots.
The vast majority of voter fraud prosecutions involve absentee ballots that were illegally cast.
The only voting fraud schemes with the potential to actually swing elections involved mail-in ballots. This makes sense: It’s much easier to forge a signature, impersonate a voter, or buy a vote in the privacy of one’s home than it is in a voting booth at the polls.
If Republicans were truly serious about eradicating voter fraud, they would severely restrict absentee voting, permitting it only when voters have a good excuse, like illness. Why don’t they do so? Because absentee ballots are widely considered to favor Republicans.

DEMOCRATS DEMAND UNIVERSAL MAIL VOTING. JUST SAY NO
Mail-in voting is a throwback to the dark old days of vote-buying and fraud. Because of this, many countries don’t allow in-country absentee ballots.
Concerns about vote-buying and fraud have a long history in the U.S.
They helped drive the move to the secret ballot, which U.S. states adopted between 1888 and 1950.
Secret ballots made it harder for vote buyers to monitor which candidates sellers actually voted for.
Vote-buying had been pervasive; research at the University of Florida has found that voter turnout fell by 8% to 12% after states adopted the secret ballot.
DEMOCRATS now claim that voter fraud is essentially nonexistent. The Carter report found otherwise.
Intimidation and vote buying were key concerns of the Carter commission: “Citizens who vote at home, at nursing homes, at the workplace, or in church are more susceptible to pressure, overt and subtle, or to intimidation. Vote buying schemes are far more difficult to detect when citizens vote by mail.”
The report provides examples, such as the 1997 Miami mayoral election that resulted in 36 arrests for absentee-ballot fraud. The election had to be rerun, and the result was reversed.
There are more recent cases, too.
In 2017 an investigation of a Dallas City Council election found over 700 fraudulent mail-in ballots signed by the same witness using a fake name. The discovery left two council races in limbo, and the fraud was much larger than the vote differential in one of those races. The case resulted in criminal convictions.
It is often claimed that impossibly large numbers of people live at the same address.
In 2016, 83 registered voters in San Pedro, Calipornia, received absentee ballots at the same small two-bedroom apartment.
Since politically-motivated prosecutors in Blue urban shitholes rarely pursue this type of case, DEMOCRAT "fact-checkers" claim that fraud is nonexistent, and leftists swallow and regurgitate the lie because it fits their agenda.

If you can’t beat em’, cheat em’.
Voter fraud has been one of those things that the DEMOCRAT party has denied doing for decades, yet we continuously find evidence of it.
This is the same political party that also tries to prevent the implementation of a more secure voting system, going so far as to call things like voter ID “racist” despite the fact that it’s been proven to increase minority voting.
Wookie Michael Obama has been pushing for a very insecure way of voting with the vote-by-mail option.
Her organization “When We All Vote” has backed legislation currently backed by five DEMOCRATS and no Republicans. The idea is a path to voter fraud.

Determined to help elect politicians friendly toward his People's Temple, the Rev. Jim Jones ordered what former temple members say was an organized campaign of fraudulent voting practices that included importing busloads of illegal voters to cast their ballots.
“When Jones wanted someone elected, he got them elected,” Mrs. Johnson said, and, although her remark contains some overstatement, since some of the candidates Mr. Jones backed were defeated, there is little doubt that he controlled the votes of several thousand of his followers, enough to make the difference in a close election.
“Jones swayed elections,” said Jeannie Mills, who with her husband, Al, defected from the temple in the fall of 1975. “He told us how to vote.”
Shortly before an election, Mrs. Mills said, temple members were given sample ballots marked with Mr. Jones's choices to take with them to the polls.
Following an election, Mrs. Johnson added, members were required to produce ballot stubs showing that they had indeed voted. Nonvoters, she saw, were “pushed around, roughed up, physically abused.”
