Ballot Security Concerns Across Multiple States

Recent issues concerning ballot security and election integrity have emerged across the United States. In Schoharie County, New York, election officials removed a drop box over security concerns, although it had been used without issues in previous elections. Meanwhile, in Oak Harbor, Washington, the USPS is investigating after election ballots were found scattered outside mailboxes, with new ballots issued to affected voters. In Mesa County, Colorado, at least 12 mail-in ballots were stolen, filled with fraudulent votes, and submitted, with three being counted due to signature verification failures. This incident has prompted a criminal investigation, highlighting concerns over mail-in voting security. Despite these fraudulent attempts, Colorado officials emphasize that their election verification processes are robust and capable of detecting such issues.
