More than one thousand registered voters in Virginia received “duplicate absentee ballots” in the mail this week; raising even more questions over potential fraud just weeks before Election Day.
“Officials in Fairfax County, the state’s largest jurisdiction, said a printing problem with absentee-ballot address labels led election workers to inadvertently mail out extra ballots to as many as 1,000 county voters,” reports the Washington Post.
“When I got the mail, we got four ballots — two for me, addressed to me, and two addressed to my husband, so for someone who is a first timer doing mail-in I was confused,” said one resident.
“Before the supervisors caught it, the people applying the labels applied them to the entire sheet of labels rather than just pulling out the ones that should have been processed,” Fairfax County Registrar Gary Scott said.

JUST IN: Judge Orders New Election in New Jersey After Candidates Charged with Mail-in Voter Fraud
From Fox News:
A judge has ruled that a new election will be held in November for a disputed Paterson City Council seat, just weeks after the race’s apparent winner and a sitting councilman were charged with voter fraud.
State Superior Court Judge Ernest Caposela issued his ruling Wednesday.
Alex Mendez had won a special election on May 12 to fill the seat, but claims of voter fraud were soon raised. An investigation was then launched after the U.S. Postal Service’s law enforcement arm told the state attorney general’s office about hundreds of mail-in ballots located in a mailbox in Paterson, along with more found in nearby Haledon.

President Donald Trump has cited the disputed race as a case study in what could happen in an election conducted mostly by mail. His re-election campaign sued New Jersey on Tuesday in a bid to stop the state’s plans to conduct the November general election mostly by mail.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Universal Mail-In Voting is ‘Going to be the Scam of All Time’
President Trump issued a dire warning from the White House Friday; saying universal mail-in voting will likely create the “scam of all time” this November.
“Absentee is okay. This scam of sending millions of ballots, you know who knows this? The Democrats. There are going to be millions of missing ballots. You could be talking about large percentages going missing, fraud, it’s a disaster,” said Trump.

“Everybody knows I’m right. You don’t have to know a lot about politics. This is going to be the scam of all-time,” he added. “Hopefully judges will be able to see this clearly and stop it.”
