"I think it's apparent that the Dems finagled mail-in ballots by separating the ballots from their security envelopes so that fraud could not be detected."--HtS

Below is my ballot's secrecy sleeve aka security envelope for our upcoming election. The point of the secrecy sleeve is to make worriers feel more comfortable and secure that it's a secret ballot. ​Some people may worry that a neighbor or the postal carrier will hold their envelopes and ballot up to the light and peak at their votes.

Notice that the secrecy/security envelope is "optional". Any argument that Democrats nefariously separated ballots from their security envelopes is ridiculous on its face. What would be nefarious is if people attempted to match a ballot up with the signature envelope to detect how a person voted under the guise of looking for voter fraud.

These secrecy sleeves are secondary envelopes inside the outer signature envelope. In highly contested elections poll watchers sometimes challenge a signature if it doesn't match exactly the signature on file. The outer envelope has an individualized barcode for every voter. That's what we do in Oregon, and I suspect it's the same or similar in other states.

At any rate, the unchallenged mail-in ballots are determined to be legitimate by all concerned--including representatives of political parties BEFORE they are opened. Then these approved ballots are then removed and separated from their envelopes and counted. The vote counters and the vote counting machines do not know how any individual voted.
