Thinking of attempts to actually destroy ballots, fraudulent ballots and registrations. That kind of thing, separate from the things that the parties and candidates do. I think there will be more, both real and false claims. I am hoping to have a thread to keep track of them all, feel free to keep adding to the list if you hear of more.
1: 12 fraudulent votes cast in Mesa County, CO. Three were not caught in time and cannot be removed due to the way ballots are anonymous once removed from the envelope. Source, Colorado Sun. Nine were caught and removed in time. It seems like someone stole the blank ballots from mailboxes, all in the same neighborhood (In Colorado everyone gets a mailed ballot, to be mailed back in or dropped off at a ballot box; in-person voting is also allowed). No suspects listed yet.
2: Ballot boxes burned in Vancouver, WA. This is a district with a tight House race. Three more burned in Portland, OR but apparently with no damage. Several hundred ballots were in the Vancouver box but may be recoverable. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/ballot-boxes-set-fire-portland-vancouver-rcna177611 No suspects described yet by law enforcement.
3: 2500 fraudulent voter registration forms dropped off in Lancaster, PE. They are blaming it on paid canvassers, implying that it was just one organization:
4: Claims that foreigners are blatantly voting illegally just to spite the Dems. This one is just pure misinformation, the only "proof" are pics of passport covers next to pics of filled out ballots. Mostly just reusing the same ballot pic over and over again. Reddit link, which has links to the "source" on Twitter. But it seems to have some gullible people on both sides up in a lather. Destroying trust in the system seems to maybe be the goal. Trolling.
Others?

They don't identify the organization though.
