5 Ways California’s Month-Long Vote Counting Process Invites Fraud
What's the deal with California's process that has conveniently flipped two key House seats in Democrats favor weeks after the election?
A USPS mailbox in Michigan was vandalized over the weekend, potentially affecting local voters who had cast an absentee ballot, a new report from WZZM claims.
Sometime between 11 a.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. on Monday, someone apparently vandalized the mailbox outside the post office in Twin Lake, a rural area of Michigan about 45 minutes north of Grand Rapids.
'The good news is we have time before the election.'
What's worse, at least two local residents claimed to have deposited absentee ballots in the mailbox, but officials could not locate those votes.
Blue Lake Township Clerk Jeff Abram told WZZM he did not even learn about the apparent vandalism until a resident contacted him about his absentee ballot.
"I had a voter come into my office yesterday and said he deposited his ballot in the Twin Lake post office box that was outside the collection box, and he wanted to know if I had his ballot yet," Abram explained.
Just 10 minutes later, another resident came inquiring about an absentee ballot that had been deposited in the mailbox. Abram said he could not find either ballot.
Abram added that no one knows the motive behind the alleged crime or how much mail might be missing.
"I hope it's not to get the ballots. Again, we don't know what kind of mail was taken or how much was taken, but I do know that I do have two constituents that didn't get their ballots," he reiterated.
Abram confirmed to the outlet that he spoiled the ballots of the two residents who contacted him and issued them new ones.
He and other area clerks worry that other absentee voters, unaware of the allegedly stolen mail, might be affected. Anyone who placed an absentee ballot in that mailbox during that 46-hour window is urged to track their ballots online or call their local clerk so that they won't be disenfranchised.
"There are also two neighboring townships that use that post office branch as well. They too should contact their respective clerks to see the status of their ballot," Abrams said in a statement to Blaze News.
"The good news is we have time before the election if we need to spoil their current ballot and reissue them another ballot before the November 5 election," he added.
Whether any suspects in the case have been identified is unclear.
Blaze News reached out to the Twin Lake postmaster, who directed us to the U.S. Postal Service media contact. Blaze News was then redirected twice more. The final USPS source Blaze News contacted did not respond to a request for comment.

On a recent episode of Glenn Beck’s Wednesday Night Special, he took a close look at the upcoming 2024 presidential election. Tensions are high, as people on all sides of the political spectrum are skeptical about the integrity of America’s elections.
According to an ABC poll, confidence in our election system is at an abysmal 20%. How do we improve America’s dangerously low confidence? Glenn has some answers.
But before he got into the details of how to secure the 2024 election, he wanted to make one thing abundantly clear: “As we’re talking about the election, I am not talking about 2016, which the left said was stolen, 2020, which the right said was stolen, [or] 2022.”
“The only time I’m going to mention those elections … is in the form of this question: Do you feel like the election is more secure this year [2024] than it was in 2022 or 2020?” he said.
Because of the controversies and Big Tech censorship surrounding questions about those past elections, a significant portion of this episode is only available on BlazeTV. Glenn wanted to make sure everyone was able to access the episode, so BlazeTV is making it free until 9:00 p.m. ET on April 25, 2024. Go to BlazeTV.com/Glenn to watch the episode.

With that out of the way, here’s what Glenn discussed:
Glenn started by asking: “What has your state done to make this year’s election more secure?”
For example, according to a recent Washington Post article, “Voting in Michigan will be easier for many people this fall.”
Why will it be easier? “Because they have written laws extending early voting, making it easier for mail-in voting, and they’ve added enough ballot drop boxes,” Glenn explained, adding, “Isn’t that the problem that made people skeptical?”
The article then contrasted these “easier” Michigan voting protocols with states like North Carolina. “North Carolina will see changes in the opposite direction,” it claimed.
North Carolina, Glenn explained, has “required voters to show voter ID” — a policy that has “80% approval with all sides” — “required absentee ballot return deadlines,” and “[scaled] back the locations of early voting.”
“What they did in North Carolina, I think, is secure the election, but that's not the framing the Post is giving,” he explains. According to the article, “The two states illustrate how voting has changed since the last presidential election. But whether Americans will have an easier or harder time casting a ballot than they did in 2020 will depend on where they live and, often, whether Democrats or Republicans have been in charge.”
However, “easier,” according to Glenn, isn’t always better. Often, a more difficult path is what enhances security.
“Deadlines are hard; securing something is hard,” he says. “If something doesn’t require something that is hard, it’s almost meaningless.”
Regardless of who wins the election, “'Will either side believe it?”
“I don’t think so,” says Glenn, especially if we continue to choose “easier” over what’s best.
So as Election Day draws ever nearer, how do we ensure security? According to Glenn, there are eight things you can do and one red flag you should be on the lookout for. That red flag is what is revealed in the full episode, available only on BlazeTV.
