Between 2012 and 2018, 28.3 million mail-in ballots remain unaccounted for, according to data from the federal @EACgov.

The missing ballots amount to nearly one in five of all #AbsenteeBallots and ballots mailed to voters residing in states that do elections exclusively by mail. #DeadVoters #DoubleVoters #VoterFraud #ElectionFraud @Heminator bit.ly/2VU82NN

States and local authorities simply have no idea what happened to these ballots since they were mailed – and the figure of 28 million #MissingBallots is likely even higher. @Heminator bit.ly/2VU82NN

Some areas in the country, notably #Chicago, did not respond to the federal agency’s survey questions. This figure does not include ballots that were spoiled, undeliverable, or came back for any reason. @Heminator bit.ly/2VU82NN

Although there is no evidence that the millions of missing ballots were used fraudulently, @PILFoundation, which compiled the public data provided from the @EACgov, says the sheer volume of them raises serious doubts about #ElectionSecurity. @Heminator bit.ly/2VU82NN

Sens. @amyklobuchar and @RonWyden have proposed the Natural Disaster and Emergency Ballot Act of 2020, a bill that would allow every eligible voter the opportunity to vote by mail, regardless of state laws governing mail-in ballots.

A significant increase in mail-in voting this fall could greatly incentivize “#BallotHarvesting,” where third parties collect mail-in ballots on behalf of voters and deliver them to #ElectionOfficials. @Heminator bit.ly/2VU82NN

There’s long been a consensus that such a practice incentivizes fraud, and #BallotHarvesting is illegal in most of the country. Public debate over the issue has intensified in recent years. #VoterFraud #ElectionOfficials @Heminator bit.ly/2VU82NN

The fact that millions of unused mail-in ballots are floating around in every election cycle “is not a secret type data here – it's sitting there on the Internet, and you're paying for the server cost,"@LCChurchwell @PILFoundation. @Heminator bit.ly/2VU82NN

“So what do people that really focus on the election process do about that? They go into #BallotHarvesting." @Heminator bit.ly/2VU82NN

"If there's so many ballots out there in the wind unaccounted for by #ElectionOfficials, surely some manpower could be dedicated to go bring them in. And that's another part of the system where you have weaknesses and risk.” @Heminator bit.ly/2VU82NN

The potential to affect elections by chasing down unused mail-in ballots and make sure they get counted – using methods that may or may not be legal – is great. #BallotHarvesting. @Heminator bit.ly/2VU82NN

“I really think the only reason vote-by-mail problems are not getting more attention on a regular basis, is that it's kind of an embarrassing problem and people just aren’t paying attention,” says @LCChurchwell. @Heminator bit.ly/2VU82NN

“These numbers of missing ballots demonstrate large voter list maintenance failures and security gaps within the broader #MailVoting process.”
