PEN – 7/12/20 – We have read media reports claiming that mail-in voting is the way to go in current and future elections. You may or may not agree with this philosophy – we do not agree with this train of thought.
Voting by mail could ‘possibly’ lead to opening the flood gates for fraudulent votes – but, most of all, mail-in voting will most certainly delay final results to elections and will almost certainly lead to some candidates claiming that votes for them were not counted or not received at all when votes are tallied.
Absolutely – voting by mail is safer for voters at this time and so convenient – but, is it the best answer for an unblemished and incontestable election? We don’t think it is. As a matter of fact, we believe that there are many in the media, and political establishment, praying that mail-in voting will taint upcoming elections in order to open the door to contesting the election results.

When we vote, by mail or in person, we want our votes to be counted. So, why should we leave this important step to chance such as mail-in votes getting lost, not counted, tampered with etc.? We shouldn’t.
