Public commenter urges voter ID, calls mail-in ballots "immediately corrupt"
Summary
A public commenter at the meeting alleged widespread "fake voters," urged proof-of-citizenship and voter ID, and called mail-in ballots "immediately corrupt," citing a commission associated with Jimmy Carter but providing no supporting evidence.
A public commenter at the meeting urged stricter voting rules, saying there are "many, many fake voters" and that some come "from other states," and argued that voters should be required to prove citizenship. The commenter said, "That's why we wanna have voter ID" and added that "citizenship is very important," framing those requirements as a response to alleged cross-state fraud.
The speaker also attacked mail-in voting as inherently unreliable, stating, "the concept of mail in ballots, it's immediately corrupt," and cited a commission associated with former President Jimmy Carter, saying "his commission came out to the conclusion you cannot have mail in ballots." The commenter gave a numeric estimate—"more than 0.5 of your states have serious election problem"—and repeatedly called for getting rid of mail-in ballots. The commenter did not provide evidence, cite which Carter commission they meant, or point to supporting data; no formal motion or vote on election procedures was recorded during the remarks.
