What these provisions amount to is an effort by Elias and the DNC to “prep the battlefield.” They know the DNC is preparing to engage in widespread efforts to dramatically increase the use of absentee ballots across the country to drive up Democrat party turnout in 2020 — this was the plan before COVID-19 fell into their lap as the perfect vehicle to justify “vote-by-mail.”

The goal was to create a system that was so onerous and burdensome that it worked as a disincentive to rejecting ballots based on mismatched signatures. The goal was to neutralize the “signature matching” requirement as a brake on fraudulent mail-in balloting.
