And if I recall correctly, the most frequent form of #VoteByMail fraud by far was #Republican widowers applying for and mailing in an #AbsenteeBallot for a recently #DeceasedSpouse

That said, it was extremely rare, but a Republican action non-the-less

There is no evidence that non-citizen voting is a serious problem or that it has any impact on election outcomes.

"A 2020 analysis by Oregon’s Legislative Fiscal Office found the state’s justice department obtained just 38 criminal convictions for voter fraud across 20 years of votes and nearly 61 million cast ballots. It showed an effective 0.0000006% rate of voter fraud in Oregon elections during the past quarter century."

"Wyden in 1996 was the first federal official to be elected entirely by mail ballots. By the 1998 primary election, Oregon became the first state to have more ballots cast by mail than at polls, and a ballot initiative to move to 100% mail-in voting passed later that year. Oregon became the nation’s first all vote-by-mail state in 2000."

UPDATE: So our early voting primary ballots *were* received and recorded by the county. They just weren’t showing on the TX Sec of State portal (where they should have been).

But no worries: The county posts the records of all the ballots it receives. In Excel CSV files. One per day. So you have to download them one-by-one and search them individually until you find your name. 🤦‍♂️
