House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said the next COVID-19 relief bill will contain provisions to fund widespread mail-in and absentee voting.<\/p>\n

Pelosi spoke to<\/a> Greta Van Susteren of Gray TVs \u201cFull Court Press\u201d on Sunday, touching on Democrats priorities for the upcoming pandemic relief package, referred to alternately as \u201cphase four\u201d or \u201cCARES 2.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will in our bill, also, have funding for vote by mail, which we think is essential,\u201d Pelosi said, citing voter safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the state of Wisconsin, they had a number of COVID cases that were immediately traced to people having to stand in line for a long time to vote,\u201d Pelosi said, adding, \u201cSo, this is not only the health of our democracy, its the health of our people.\u201d<\/p>\n

A report released May 5 by Milwaukee County (pdf<\/a>) said 26 people in that county may have been infected while at the polls on April 7. The report also noted that another 26 may have been infectious when voting or working at the election, though it is unclear how many of the 26 are included in the states count of 67.<\/p>\n

Department of Health Services spokeswoman Jennifer Miller said that at least 23 of Wisconsins COVID-19 positives among those who voted in person or worked as poll workers, also reported other potential exposures to the highly contagious bug, according to the Wisconsin State Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Further, a new study by researchers at the World Health Organization and Stanford University found no evidence of increased COVID-19 transmission in Wisconsin following the primary.<\/p>\n

The study, published on medRxiv, an online medical research platform, concludes Wisconsins vote was a low-risk activity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe analyze confirmed cases and new hospitalizations in Wisconsin in the weeks surrounding the April 7, 2020 election, and find no evidence of a surge in SARS-CoV-2 Transmission,\u201d the authors write, referring to the virus by its scientific name.<\/p>\n

In the interview, Pelosi cited Oregon as a success case of mail-in voting: \u201cThere are states like Oregon that have had vote by mail for a number of years, and they claim success and it certainly pleases the people there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oregon, a pioneer in the field, started mailing ballots to all voters in 2000, with negligible verified instances of fraud, according to an op-ed in The Hill jointly penned<\/a> by Amber McReynolds, CEO of the National Vote at Home Institute, and Charles Stewart III, Professor of Political Science at MIT.<\/p>\n

The authors noted the following figures in regards to vote by mail in Oregon: \u201cWith well over 50 million ballots cast, there have been only two fraud cases verifiable enough to result in convictions for mail-ballot fraud in 20 years. That is 0.000004 percent\u2014about five times less likely than getting hit by lightning in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

While noting that absentee ballot fraud is the most common type, Arizona State University<\/a> researchers found that, since the turn of the century, \u201cwhile fraud has occurred, the number of cases is infinitesimal.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, has long raised the alarm<\/a> about the dangers of mail-in ballot fraud.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsentee ballots are the tools of choice of election fraudsters because they are voted outside the supervision of election officials, making iRead More From Source<\/a>
