Short answer: Nope.

Long answer: Ballot harvesting (allowing a third party person to come and pick up mail in ballots and present them to polling officials) is spreading across the country. There is no accountability in place to ensure that the ballot the person filled out is actually the one which is presented to elections officials, nor any real penalty for ‘filling in’ missing information, such as skipped choices, nor any penalty for corrupting ballots (marking an additional space in a choice to say, negate the vote for a candidate the third party doesn’t believe in.)

Since it is primarily democrats who are picking up these ballots, and of course, primarily democrats who are making long lines for polling places, not so shockingly, where there is heavy ballot harvesting, there is a heavy gain for democrats in balloting.

So nope, no ‘red wave’ coming to the House, the democrats have a stranglehold on them right now until it is reformed to get them out of the ballot collection process.

I haven’t looked but depending upon the number of states that use some form of
paper ballots versus those that use electronic machines will impact the potential for ballot harvesting.
