Many Resources on Voting Intergrity and Election Issues
Latest from the Editor of Patriots for Greene.
We the People. November 7th 2025
Greetings to you all. We just got past the November 4th elections and yes there were issues nationwide. Cant say we are not surprised. We are monitoring and Would advise you to check patriot resources on the latest develpoments.
2026 Is coming and Much needs addressed.
as always, keep your eyes and ears open.
Recently, the Topic of Elminating Mail in ballots and machine voting has been brought into national Conversations again in which President Trump has made clear needs to be Dealt with. As we have expressed and shown, Mail in voting was banned in other countries and has been a concern for some time as known cheating and issues did occur nation wide in areas based upon information and provided public evidence we have seen. President Trump has taken a stance on eliminating mail in Ballots. We would Encourage you to do your research as Mike Lindell has been very vocal on these issues as well as Dinesh Dsouza in the Documentary movie 2000 Mules which has been public for some time.
We are hoping for Voter ID, Same day paper ballots, One day voting, Vote at your precinct and No mail in Ballots of which President Trump has expressed. Also, no machines as many in the patriot communities have also expressed but again, much is still ahead. Get involved if you can. We would encourage you to check out Audit the Vote PA and other patriot resources on what the latest developments are or how you can get involved.
Also, The Primaries were created to give the people the voice to choose who they think the candidate should be for their perspective parties. There are a wide range of Differences in the primaries, whether closed or open, depending upon the type of elections (be it local, State, national, governor, or presedential) but the people should be given the voice to choose who they think should be the option.
Endorsements we frown upon early in an elections process becuase it is basically taking the choice from the people and a party telling the people who to vote for. Sorry, But that is not how a Constitutional republic works. The people, We the People, Ultimately decide on who we think the candidate should be. That is of course a part of a free and fair Constitutional Process.
We would also highly encourage you to check out patriot acadamey and get involved in learning more about our constitution as that is the foundational principle for everything we hold most dear.
Again, Many Voting Integrity issues have come to the surface in recent months and are now being intricately looked at. We do understand the need for absentee with military service members or those with Health issues. Dont forget to periodically check your voter registration for any errors or issues.
God Bless and Keep Praying Continually.

DID YOU KNOW
Several countries have restricted or banned mail-in voting, particularly for residents living within their borders, often due to concerns about fraud or electoral integrity. Below is a list of countries that have either fully banned mail-in voting or significantly limited its use, based on available information:
-
France: Mail-in voting was banned in 1975 due to instances of fraud, notably in Corsica, where postal ballots were stolen or misused. It remains prohibited for residents within France, though citizens abroad can vote by mail for certain elections, and proxy voting is allowed domestically.
-
Mexico: In 1991, Mexico banned all absentee voting methods, including mail-in voting, to address widespread fraud and intimidation by the ruling party at the time. Since 2006, mail-in voting has been reintroduced but only for citizens living abroad, while residents within Mexico cannot vote by mail.
-
Belgium: Mail-in voting is not permitted for residents within the country. While there’s no evidence of a specific "ban" in 2018 as sometimes claimed, Belgium has never widely adopted mail-in voting for domestic voters. Citizens abroad, however, can vote by mail, and proxy voting is allowed domestically.
-
Italy: Residents within Italy cannot vote by mail, though Italians living abroad are permitted to do so. There’s no historical "ban" per se, but mail-in voting has not been implemented for domestic voters.
-
Sweden: Mail-in voting is not allowed for residents within Sweden. Citizens abroad can vote by mail, but domestically, voting is facilitated through in-person methods like early voting and proxy voting.
-
Japan: Mail-in voting is highly restricted and not available to most voters. It is limited to specific groups, such as those with disabilities who have special certificates, and is not an option for the general population living in the country.
-
Russia: Mail-in voting is not permitted for either domestic or overseas voters. While a 2020 law allowed for the possibility of postal voting, it has not been implemented in practice.
-
Brazil: Mail-in voting is not allowed for residents or citizens abroad. Voting is compulsory, and citizens abroad must vote in person at consulates or embassies, though limited online voting has been introduced in some cases.
-
Chile: Mail-in voting is not permitted for any voters, whether residing in Chile or abroad. Citizens abroad must vote in person at consulates or embassies.
-
Colombia: Neither residents nor citizens abroad can vote by mail. Colombians abroad can vote at consulates or embassies, and early voting is allowed domestically.
-
Argentina: Mail-in voting is not permitted for residents or citizens abroad, who must vote in person at consulates or embassies. A one-time exception occurred in 2019 when voters could mail ballots.
-
Morocco: Mail-in voting is not allowed, and citizens abroad cannot vote at all. Residents must vote in person at polling stations.
-
Tunisia: Mail-in voting is not permitted. While citizens abroad can vote, they must do so in person at polling stations in embassies or consulates.
This list is not exhaustive, as voting laws vary widely and can change over time. Many countries, particularly in Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East, either ban mail-in voting for residents or restrict it heavily, often citing security concerns like vote-buying or fraud. However, some of these nations allow mail-in voting for citizens living abroad or offer alternatives like proxy or early in-person voting. Conversely, countries like Germany, the UK, and Switzerland permit mail-in voting for all voters, showing that policies differ significantly even among developed nations.
Machine voting typically refers to the use of electronic voting machines (EVMs), direct-recording electronic (DRE) systems, optical scan systems, or internet voting to cast or count votes, as opposed to fully manual methods like hand-marked paper ballots counted by hand. Many countries use a mix of methods, and some have experimented with machine voting but discontinued it due to security, transparency, or cost concerns.
Estimating the Number
-
Total Countries: There are 195 recognized sovereign countries in the world (193 UN member states plus Vatican City and Palestine, as of March 2025).
-
Countries Using Machine Voting: According to data from the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA) and other sources, approximately 34 countries currently use some form of electronic voting (e-voting) at national or sub-national levels as of recent years. This includes countries like Brazil, India, the Philippines, and Estonia, which use EVMs or internet voting extensively, and others like the United States, where usage varies by region.
-
Countries That Have Discontinued or Never Adopted: Several countries have tried machine voting and reverted to paper-based systems (e.g., Netherlands, Germany, Ireland) due to concerns over security or transparency. Many others, especially smaller or less resourced nations, have never adopted machine voting, relying instead on hand-counted paper ballots.
-
Manual Voting Prevalence: The majority of countries still use paper ballots, often with centralized manual tallying, as it’s cost-effective and perceived as more transparent. Hand-counting is particularly common in parliamentary systems with simpler ballots (e.g., one contest per election).
Rough Calculation
If around 34 countries use machine voting, that leaves approximately 161 countries (195 - 34) that do not use it as a primary method at the national level. However, this number could vary:
-
Some countries use optical scanners to count paper ballots (e.g., Canada, parts of the U.S.), which blurs the line between "machine" and "manual" voting.
-
Data is incomplete for many nations, especially those with unstable political systems or limited election infrastructure.
Examples of Countries Without Machine Voting
Countries that likely do not use machine voting (based on available information and trends) include:
-
Most of Europe (e.g., UK, Germany, France reverted to paper after trials).
-
Many African nations (e.g., Kenya reverted after issues in 2013, though Namibia uses EVMs).
-
Smaller or less technologically advanced countries (e.g., Mali, Niger, Belize).
Conclusion
A reasonable estimate is that around 150–160 countries do not use machine voting as their primary method for national elections, relying instead on hand-marked and hand-counted paper ballots or minimal automation. This number is an approximation, as precise, current data for every country is not readily available, and practices evolve over time.
For a definitive count, further research into each country’s electoral system would be needed, but this estimate aligns with global trends favoring paper-based voting for its simplicity and verifiability.
