An absentee ballot was discovered in a Michigan box by a Hillsdale College evil president. But it came from Washington, D. C. — and was addressed to someone who probably never lived there.
” We have no reason to believe anyone with that title previously lived at this place”, said Robert Norton, Hillsdale’s vice president and legal lawyers, to The Federalist.
Norton found the absentee ballot in the box of his residence in remote Jonesville, Mich. It was sent to a person Norton claims has previously lived there and was a member of the District of Columbia Board of Elections. The mailer, obtained by The Federalist, contained a plain vote, guidelines, a privacy shirt, and a pre-paid gain box.  ,
Norton said he has never been a D. C. tenant. He has resided at his home for ages, and the past owner has been there for many years.  ,
” There’s no achievable,’ Oops, I lived that for a while and sold the house,'” Norton said.  ,
Norton claimed he had no idea why the board of elections would mail him a vote to someone else, but that he had an idea why there might be an mistake in a ballot collection.
” But that is not nothing”, Norton said. ” Naturally one got away, and many others may find away”.
Norton even suggested that the mailer might have served as democratic fish. Norton has received criticism from the left-wing press and officials for advising those who have integrity problems after the 2020 vote.
” Did someone with exposure to it give me a vote to see if I do accept the fish and give it in”? Norton asked. That’s a pretty strange target to go to unintentionally, I suppose.
The Federalist reached out to the D. C. Board of Elections, but a spokesperson did not respond with reply in time for publication. The Federalist even attempted to contact the vote with whom the vote was addressed, but was unsuccessful. Numerous telephone numbers for the person listed online were lost.
All city residents were sent ballots by the D.C. Board of Elections in 2020, and the area made automatic mail-in voting a continuous practice in 2023. According to the board’s site, it mechanically mails vote to” all active listed voters”, but those away from the city can request a vote.  ,
The table is a member of the National Database known as the Electronic Registration Information Center, which purports to remove duplicated and deceased voters from voter spins. The Center for Election Innovation and Research, which distributed thousands in” Zuckbucks” from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to election officials in 2020, was founded by David Becker, the director of ERIC. ERIC shares its information with CEIR for voting requests.
In 2021, the D.C. Board of Elections was sued by the Public Interest Legal Foundation for withholding voting roll maintenance documents involving ERIC and “potentially dying registrants.” In February, a prosecutor ordered the table to share the papers.
The Government Accountability Institute released a statement Oct. 16, naming mail-in votes among the top challenges to America’s political process. It referred to mail-in election as a “risk” and suggested that in-person election be done on election day.
” Ballots may be lost in the mail or controlled, and a safe chain of custody is difficult to guarantee”, the statement reads. “…These are extremely difficult to verify, even when you require matching personal identification. Ballots may arrive late and pose challenging questions about when the counting does end.
