CBS on Sunday did an experiment to determine just how safe mail-in ballots will be in November. CBS Weekend News journalist Tony Dokoupil set up a campaign “headquarters” and mailed 100 “ballots” to himself through the U.S. Post Office.
TONY DOKOUPIL: In the following week, we checked our PO box for the results.... When we went to collect everything, though —
POSTAL EMPLOYEE: I don’t see anything back there for you.
TONY DOKOUPIL: Nothing?
WOMAN: No.
TONY DOKOUPIL: Most of our votes seem to be lost.
WOMAN: That’s all I have back there right now. There’s nothing--
TONY DOKOUPIL: Are you sure? Are you totally sure?
In the end, 21% of the ballots were no-shows.
Best of luck America on Nov 3rd.
