The Federalist Helps Sound the Alarm on Overseas Ballots. Major legislative overhaul needed.


December 18, 2024


A recent article in The Federalist is raising awareness about the dangers associated with ballots from overseas voters. Overseas ballots are one entry point for non-citizens to vote.

 

Michigan Fair Elections Institute has been investigating the vulnerabilities linked to these ballots and produced a detailed policy statement in late November. 


Frederick Woodward, an MFEI analyst and co-author of the policy statement, summarized the issues in an article for The Federalist. 



Excerpt from Woodward's article:

 

Republican victories in November could easily lead some on the right to become complacent when it comes to fighting for integrity in our elections, but that would be a huge mistake, especially when it comes to overseas voting. UOCAVA, short for the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, has numerous problems, including a poor track record for verifying the identity and eligibility of the voters it admits to the system.


This observation might help to explain in part why the Democrat Party has recently taken a particular interest in UOCAVA voting. In August, the DNC announced that it would begin attempting to register up to 9 million voters through the system, despite the federal government’s own acknowledgment that only 2.8 million eligible voters are actually overseas.
