Like SA, your name needs to be on the voters roll before you're allowed to step up to the polling booth, which means you would've had to register to vote in your area first.

Unlike SA, though, there's no verification to prove you are who you say you are, because like you've correctly stated, there is no requirement for a state-issued ID in the UK, because it apparently infringes on people's rights somehow (they'll refer you to the war, and how people were numbered, etc). Also, they don't mark your thumb or anything as a safety to ensure you don't go back later and vote under someone else's name. It's the UK, after all - the chances of there being more than one John Smith in your borough are freakishly high.

In the UK they match you to the votes roll based on post code as well. They ask you for your address to match you to the voters roll. You cant vote twice. If you pitch up and someone has voted "for you", you can lodge a complaint. I think it will be obvious if there are a large number of these complaints.

Part of the verification process and audit checks ensures that the number of ballots matches the number of people marked off on the voters roll. Observers from all parties are on site ensure that voters are only marked off on the voters roll if they have been issued with a voting doc. Its only possible to have the number of people marked off on the voters roll to exceed the number of ballots, as people spoil or destroy their ballots.

Im sure the US has similar controls.

Looking forward to 4 years of waking up and not seeing the President of the USA attacking his military, or families of servicemen, not making up BS about NATO, or misunderstanding tariffs so badly that you bankrupt farms and lobster fisherman, lying about a virus that's killing 1000's of people a day, lying and attacking opponents as enemies who should be locked up, making up stuff then sweeping it under the rug when nothing comes about and and and.

The best thing will be his tweets will no longer mean anything.

If he loses, Twitter can ban him and probably will.

Agreed. I still think it will go to Trump with the outstanding military votes.

Still we must not forget that the possible roads to victory for Trump are dismal at this stage. His own people know it, but he's still paying his campaign people to say otherwise. I maintain that what's going on along the East Coast is shitty Republican theatre. For the past two days only Nevada and Arizona have truly mattered. Now with Pennsylvania and Georgia in the mix...

Trump has a better chance to get hit by lightning in the next two days than win this election. In my humble opinion.

I was amazed to discover that there is no ID check, even with in-person voting, in the UK. Don't know what it's like in the rest of the first world but I think fraud has always been easy in the US too, mail-in ballots or not.

I hope people understand that ballots aren't just counted. They are checked against a system and the voter is contacted if their vote wasn't counted and given the reason why. You can't have two votes for the same person.

I can't go vote after mailing in a ballot because the system will pick up two from me.

If it were the other way round I'm sure Trump would be screaming since usually there is a mandatory request required by law and usually follows the certification which is much later in the month.

The Dems have been very dignified. Heck if they took him up on the offer to "stop the vote" they would have won already. If they could take him up on the offer that is. But that, much like Trump's take on almost everything in the universe, is a fantasy.

Hey, the guy who didn't remember his own grand daughter and thought he was running against Bush somehow managed to get more votes than any other candidate in history - even Obama.

Or the electorate didn't believe the BS narrative and have known Biden for years that he has a stutter and didn't fall for the spliced and diced videos.

Of course the second Trump says anything, the opposite immediately becomes the truth.

Did you only read the tweet or did you read the article as well?

Mail in ballots will have a higher rejection rate, this is because signatures have to match, unlike in person voting, the person used the wrong pen color and mails it in it's not counted. The article then refers to this rejection rate being 2%. Rejection rate =/= fraud. Do you understand this difference?
