Earlier this year the state of Maryland mailed a lesson to the rest of the country, though it did not mean to. A vendor error sent voters the wrong party’s primary ballots, and when officials tried to repair the mistake they discovered they could not reliably tell which voters had received which ballot. More than 563,000 ballots had been requested, 447,000 of them by mail, and the state was reduced to reissuing ballots wholesale because it could not trace its own mail stream.

This was not fraud. It was something quieter and, in its way, more revealing. A blue state, using a vendor it could not control, committed an enormous error and then could not even measure the size of the error it had committed.
