‘Very scary’: Woman explains how easy ‘rigging’ her vote was

A woman named Emily goes to vote, waits in line, and then is told by the poll worker, “Oh, you’ve already voted.”

The poll worker turns the tablet to show that a mail-in ballot was recorded in her name.

When she asks who the ballot was cast for, she’s told she’s not allowed to know.

After a waiting 15 minutes for the poll worker to make a phone call, the mail-in ballot was cancelled and she was able to cast the vote at the Episcopal Church in Cape Coral Florida.

The potential for voter fraud was “very scary” said Emily, as her vote rigging was only discovered because she turned up in person.

In another case a man described how he was also told he had voted, despite scanning in his driver’s licence.

“This is why mail-in voting needs to be outlawed,” one X user wrote.

“When this happens call the sheriff to report the crime of voter fraud.” Another user added, “They have to let you vote by provisional ballot—and then you need to make a formal ‘Identity Theft’ police report.”

Some respondents expressed skepticism about the integrity of the voting process, with one stating, “We must not allow this to happen again,” and another emphasising, “Every single time. This will never change until people face real jail time over these crimes.”

The issue of provisional ballots was also raised, as one person shared a similar experience, writing, “My husband did not get his ballot by mail, so he stood in line and signed an attestation!”

Others argued for broader changes to the system, with one tweet questioning, “Another very important question is, ‘why can they delete a vote?’”

The sentiment of distrust in the voting process seemed widespread, with another commenter saying, “We will BELIEVE our eyes… not what they ‘tell us’ to believe.”
