“U.S. Postal Service officials have launched an investigation into the mailing of several absentee ballots for the Mobile municipal, after a postal worker reported what appeared to be voter fraud, according to FOX10 news… postal officials questioned the mailing of numerous ballots bearing similar handwriting, as well as multiple ballots from the same voters being mailed almost daily.” Mobile City Clerk Lisa Lambert, whose job it is to log in absentee ballots, says, “I would hope no citizen would try to defraud an election by doing something illegal.” Hope appears to be an insufficient deterrent. Mayoral candidate Sandy Stimpson tells local reporters that “this investigation should send a message to all voters: Fraud does happen and it’s up to you to make sure this is a fair election.“
