A task force of #ElectionIntegrity attorneys, researchers, and experienced #ElectionExperts published: Standards for Voting by Mail today: Four Core Measures Will Balance Integrity and Access
The Standards are intended to equip policymakers and election officials with specific standards and protocols for best practices to protect the integrity of the 2020 General Election, with the increasing demands for voting by mail.
"This report and attached best practices seek to inform and prepare officials for an election where #MailVoting is being demanded through both administrative edict and litigation.”
FOUR KEY PRINCIPLES FOR #MAILVOTING
– No Automatic Mailing of Ballots
– Safeguard Return of Ballots
– Counting Must Be Secure, Transparent & Expeditious
– Preserve In-Person Voting
The National Task Force on Voting by Mail was established to review and promulgate proposed standards that should be established in any mail voting system.
#Votingbymail compromises the #SecretBallot and states must take steps to protect every voter’s right to cast a secret ballot, free of intimidation and undue influence.
Automatically mailing a ballot to all registered voters is an open invitation to fraud because the ballots are necessarily sent to voters who have moved, died, or are otherwise inactive. #VoterFraud
Voting by-mail compromises the secret ballot
process, which has been a hallmark of U.S.
elections for over 100 years. Voters are
vulnerable to intimidation and pressure tactics
by individuals involved in campaigns.

The legal challenge was filed by the Public Interest Legal Foundation .@PILFoundation, who called the decision a big win for the rule of law (via .@DailyCaller):
The @vaELECT rule allowing officials to count ballots that arrived without a postmark up to three days after the election was illegal, a state judge ruled.
.@townhallcom #Virginia Circuit Court Judge William Eldridge ruled the state’s late #MailBallot law violated state statute and permanently banned the law in future Virginia elections, the .@PILFoundation (PILF) announced.
.@PILFoundation's J. Christian Adams couldn’t believe what he was reading as he poured over the text of #HR1, the “For the People Act” -- the first piece of proposed legislation introduced by congressional Democrats in the 117th Congress.

'Ballot Chaser' Illegally Pressures Voters To Change...
This is a victory for #ElectionIntegrity and a strong signal that anyone who attempts to defraud the people of Texas, deprive them of their vote, or undermine the integrity of elections will be brought to justice. .@KenPaxtonTX
.@PILFoundation applauds the .@USSupremeCourt
for taking an important case involving #California’s donor disclosure laws. The Foundation previously filed an amicus curiae brief in support of the Americans for Prosperity Foundation’s .@AFPhq petition.
Full statement from @ElectionLawCtr / PILF regarding the rioting at the U.S. Capitol
“All violence and trespassing at the U.S. Capitol must cease and law enforcement authority should use all appropriate means to quell the lawlessness. .@PILFoundation President and General Counsel J. Christian Adams .@ElectionLawCtr
"Rioters demanding ‘#Electionntegrity’ have in some cases been misled by individuals who know very little about election administration.".@PILFoundation President and General Counsel J. Christian Adams .@ElectionLawCtr
[#ElectionManipulation] has always been high on the list of Democratic party priorities. That is why you saw HR1, which would make everything you saw in this election legal.
