The Coercion Issues of Vote By Mail

Filed under: policy, voting — March 20, 2007 @ 10:52 pm

There isn’t much hard data on the coercion issues of vote by mail, though with states adopting new absentee voting policies, that may change, and we may start to see some interesting things. In the meantime, there’s a very interesting collection of vote-by-mail fraud incidents reported regularly on the No Vote By Mail blog. I recommend it. Especially to people who think voter coercion is reserved for third-world countries and pseudo-dictatorships.

    Ben, a few years ago, working with the National Commission, I interviewed party activists in Oregon. Activists in both parties detailed how they participated in (fairly small scale) attempts to tamper with about-to-be-mailed ballots by supporters of the other party.

    Hi David King @1, please contact me at NOVBM.com, I’d love to know more about your experience in Oregon.
