Fact vs. Fiction on Vote by Mail

Myth 1: Voting by mail will lead to voter fraud.
Fact: There is no evidence of an increase in voter fraud with vote by mail. For example, in Oregon, over 100 million mail-in ballots have been cast since 2000. Of those, 0.000012% resulted in fraud (that’s about a dozen cases). 

Myth 2: If I mail my ballot, it won’t be counted on time!
Fact: Every vote matters, and every single vote is counted. As long as you fill out your ballot properly and return it by your state’s deadline, it will count the same as if you voted in person at the polls. 

Myth 3: Vote by mail gives one party an unfair advantage.
Fact: Voting by mail has shown no partisan advantage. Rather, vote by mail has been proven to increase voter turnout regardless of partisanship.

Increased access to vote by mail right now protects the health of voters and increases voter turnout. And that’s why When We All Vote is focused on safe voting for all.
