To hide the truth.
It took Oregon ten years to prepare for it. The states now doing it have had only weeks, and Nevada did it cutting out the Republican party and not informing citizens before doing so.
The one time it has happened was the NJ primary. 20% of ballots were fraudulent, and several Democrats were arrested.
Those Democrats were not arrested for turning in 3 thousand fraudulent ballots.
The claim: Mail-in ballot fraud in New Jersey is a sign of bigger issues.
An article, "Mail-In Ballot Fraud in New Jersey Signals National Trouble" published July 15 on the website run by Judicial Watch, uses the arrest of four men in New Jersey on voter fraud allegations as evidence for “national trouble” if more American states move to vote-by-mail systems ahead of the 2020 election.
Judicial Watch is a "conservative, nonpartisan educational foundation, according to its website, and states its purpose as promoting "transparency, accountability and integrity in government, politics and the law."

What happened in Jersey
Four men from New Jersey were charged with multiple counts of voting fraud after the U.S. Postal Inspection Service reported finding hundreds of ballots in a single mailbox during a May election for the city of Paterson.
The election was the first there conducted completely by mail, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Judicial Watch article alleges this is what happened: “The scheme appears to have been simple: the men collected blank ballots, forged the paperwork and signatures, and submitted fake votes.”
This is inaccurate.
First, a bit of background on the state's election law: New Jersey has three ways to legally submit a mail-in ballot.
Voters can put it in the mail themselves, deliver it to the local board of elections or designate a “bearer” to drop off their ballot.
“Bearers” must identify themselves on the ballot.
They cannot collect and deliver more than three ballots, and they cannot be a candidate in the election, according to New Jersey election law.
On June 25, state Attorney General Gurbir Grewal charged Paterson City Councilman Michael Jackson, Councilman-Elect Alex Mendez, Shelim Khalique and Abu Razyen with the crimes, saying they collected and delivered more than three ballots each and did not identify themselves as the “bearer.”
Mendez also was accused of submitting one or more voter registration applications where he allegedly knew the person was not eligible to vote in the district.
He pleaded not guilty.
New Jersey also alleged that Jackson received one ballot that wasn’t sealed, and that ballot was subsequently delivered to the board of elections in a sealed envelope without information identifying the bearer.
Nowhere in any of the charging documents or public statements made by officials in New Jersey does it allege that any of the four men voted on someone else’s behalf.

Judicial Watch stated “nearly 20% of the 16,000 ballots were disqualified."
That claim is correct; however, it needs context.
The Passaic County Board of Elections tossed out 3,190 mail-in ballots, or about 19% of those submitted, according to Northjersey.com.
Of those, 800 ballots were improperly bundled.
Election workers rejected the remaining 2,300 for other concerns, including signatures on the ballots not matching the ones on file.
