Article says there is no evidence of ballot tampering. No evidence because they refuse to look.

The people passing the law held investigations but couldn’t find evidence.

If I fill out my ballot and have my friend drop it off that is nobody’s business but mine.

If I trust some civic group with it then I trust them with it.

I don’t need some official making it a crime for that ballot to be received when it’s already illegal to tamper with it.

Find evidence of ballot tampering or stop b!+€#!^g.

If I fill out 5000 (democrat) ballots and have my friend drop them off in boxes at the county (democrat’s) office that is nobody’s business but mine.

If I trust some (democrat) civic group with 50,000 ballots then I trust them with my ballot.

Democrats will never cheat, lie, or steal.

The lawsuit is based on the contention that the legislation was aimed largely at minority voters who “have relied heavily on community members, organizers and friends to deliver ballots.” Now, with the threat of a felony, the challengers say these same groups “are significantly more likely to have their right to vote abridged or denied in the coming general election.”

Do minorities lack two legs that they can deliver the ballots themselves? Someone please tell me how this discriminates against minorities.

They’re pushing us towards CWII, folks. The current degraded status quo cannot continue. Something’s got to give.

There is absolutely no reason why the delivery person shouldn’t sign (with id.) when they deliver ballots. If any fraud or damaged ballots are found, then the officials will know who to talk to about how it happened.

Nothing biased about have responsibility assigned to the delivery person.

Bring your camera and hang out at the County Recorder.

From AZ statutes:
13-3884. Arrest by private person

A private person may make an arrest:

1. When the person to be arrested has in his presence committed a misdemeanor amounting to a breach of the peace, or a felony.

2. When a felony has been in fact committed and he has reasonable ground to believe that the person to be arrested has committed it.

This election is going to be stolen by Dems and there is nothing we can do about it.

Nothing.

And then there's the Election 2000, where absentee ballots for military were ordered to be sent out late, and not to be counted when and if they arrived after the deadline. Norm Coleman and Alan west got screwed...

Then there's THIS: http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/seven-charged-in-vote-fraud-scheme/

and THIS: http://miami.cbslocal.com/video/10676140-two-men-accused-of-ballot-tampering-in-homestead/

I just barely scratched the surface. I'm not going to stop " b!+€#!^g". But you need to wake up from your sleep.
