Early Voting Blues, Now With Do-Overs

Michigan's Democrat-inspired early voting is not only causing headaches, it's letting Democrats have free voting do-overs.

The Detroit News: State: Voters spoil 8,000-plus ballots as Democratic field shrinks

In short, you can vote early, then change your mind for any reason and spoil your ballot up until the day before the election and get a do-over.

I'd certainly hope that as part of any do-over they have to first retrieve and destroy your prior ballot, otherwise you're opening the door to letting people vote twice - a potential problem and opportunity for hi-jinx in a primary, a disaster in a general election, and if there's a less than reputable clerk running things (looking at you Wayne County) there's a real nice opening for fraud here.

Of course, this all takes time and money, and under the guise of making voting easier its actually creating opportunities for fraud and for letting people change their minds and their votes, which really shouldn't be permitted.

On the upside it's interesting to see the Democrat powers that be acknowledge they're left with a couple lousy candidates:

Grebner had no doubt Biden would snap up most of the spoiled ballots.

"What I see is a very distinct phenomenon," he said. "All over liberal class America, all we care about is beating Trump and we see Biden as a not very good vessel for our hopes. But we see Bernie as an absolute screaming horror.”

While an understatement, that's pretty much what you got in the candidate pool there Dems.
