I'll dig around on the application issue for article. I live in Michigan and studied the election laws for a project. In 2018 we passed "no excuse absentee voting". In that law a citizen on the voter rolls has to contact their County Clerk and request an absentee ballot and the Clerk after verifying them would deliver said ballot. Sec. Benson took it upon herself to spend fed covid emergency money and send absentee voter applications to 100% of the voter rolls regardless of the fact that it had not been purged of dead, moved or otherwise disqualified voters. People recieved multiple apps at their homes for people who use to live there. So if someone were so inclined they could slap a signature on multiple applications and receive multiple ballots to return with county clerks/election workers "assuming" they were valid signatures. Homeless shelters and group homes rec'd hundreds of apps because they allowed homeless people to use their address for id and welfare purposes over decades. The Sec. of State simply flooded the zone with apps and ballots without legal authority to do so.
