No, the election wasn't stolen. But voter integrity is still a massive issue deserving attention

There is no excuse for conspiracy theories alleging the 2020 presidential election was somehow wrongly decided due to massive fraud, and we will not offer any such excuses. But that doesn’t mean voter fraud doesn’t happen or that the 2020 election did not suffer from serious fraud and ballot integrity problems.

Importantly, it also does not mean that election integrity measures are not needed before the 2022 election.

A new report based on government data shows there are still big election integrity problems that must be resolved. To be specific, more than 15 million mail-in ballots were unaccounted for in the last election. The Public Interest Legal Foundation found that those ballots, making up one-sixth of those mailed to presumably valid voters, were either lost, undeliverable, or rejected upon return.

This, all by itself, is sufficient reason for the states to tighten up the vote-by-mail process that dominated 2020 and other election integrity measures, such as voter ID

For those still in denial about the problem of election integrity, there have been disturbing findings in recent years that call for investigations and further election integrity measures.

For example, a September 2020 report also by PILF , based again on government voter data, found that nearly 44,000 voters may have cast multiple ballots in 2016 using their duplicate registrations. Moreover, nearly 10,000 voters in Georgia and the same number in North Carolina — both tight races in the last presidential election — appear to have voted twice in 2018 based on available government voter data.
