Attorney General William Barr suggested to the New York Times that foreign adversaries will try to interfere in the 2020 presidential election by making and sending out “counterfeit ballots” to voters.
Barr said the idea was “one of the issues that I’m real worried about,” claiming that “there are a number of foreign countries that could easily make counterfeit ballots, put names on them, send them in. And it’d be very hard to sort out what’s happening.”
Business Insider: “The theory that foreign adversaries would print out fake ballots and send them out in batches to election offices — which Barr himself did not cite any evidence to prove — is very unlikely for several reasons… Most ballots and the envelopes they come in have barcodes and extremely specific information, like precinct numbers and voter identification numbers, that are very hard to replicate.”
