Alaska is open to voter fraud through mail-in balloting and citizens can help, according to an election watchdog.
Citizens Against Voter Fraud (CAVF) encourages Alaska residents who receive ballots in the mail for voters no longer living at their address to take a photograph of the ballot and submit it to the organization at fraud@endvotefraud.com.
Once CAVF receives an upload of a ballot they will run that information against a records database to parse out illegitimate voter from legitimate registered voters.
According to CAVF, Alaska has 37,018 more registers voters than they have citizens.
For context, President Donald Trump only won the state in 2016 by 46,933 votes.
In the rush to get mail-in ballots to voters as the election approaches CAVF is warning citizens that voter rolls like Alaska’s, that have not been cleaned up in some time, will likely result ballots being sent to incorrect addresses and to deceased voters opening up the process for fraud.
CAVF argues the mail-in process opens the vote up to fraud and could influence the outcome of the election.
“We know legitimate voters are receiving these illegitimate ballots in the mail,” Ian Prior, a spokesman for CAVF, said. “That’s dangerous to democracy.”
In fact, the Heritage Foundation has documented cases of voter fraud in Alaska going back several years.
CAVF was launched in as an educational effort to inform citizens about voter fraud and empower them to bring to spot it and prevent it from affecting the 2020 presidential election.
