Users on the anonymous messageboard 4Chan claim to have discovered a way that people’s votes can be modified or cancelled online in Oregon and Washington — and all that you need is the person’s name and date of birth.
Their exploit allegedly worked for voters who are in the military, overseas or disabled. The claims rapidly went viral across social media late Sunday night.
Portland Tribune reporter Zane Sparling contends that “the ‘mark my ballot’ button is NOT the same as actually voting. It creates a form that absentee voters must submit to the elections office.” He added, “simply clicking these buttons does not create a vote. The form must be submitted by fax or email, and the form does not work unless you have been granted absentee ballot status by an elections official.”
Again, simply clicking these buttons does not create a vote.
The form must be submitted by fax or email, and the form does not work unless you have been granted absentee ballot status by an elections official.

Other social media commentators argued that the form itself can be submitted by anyone, without providing any identification at any point in the process.
People on social media who were digging into the have also claimed that by starting the process of changing a person’s vote online, it cancels any ballot that the person has already cast.
Not only that, but by continuing far enough you invalidate the ballot without any signature. pic.twitter.com/PSQN6HdGh9

Obviously, the potential for voter fraud with these exploits, if they can in fact cancel out ballots that have already been sent in, is massive.
MAJOR VOTER FRAUD

The Gateway Pundit could not independently verify the claims, as that would be voter fraud. We have reached out to the Oregon State Elections Office for more information and will update this story if a response is provided.
We will be continuing to provide updates as the story unfolds.
