Election security is more than Russian hackers trying to change votes. We must secure the chain of custody of ballots, validate the identity of the voter, and maintain updated voter lists. Thus far, Democrats have shown no interest in any of that.
Take, for example, the race between former Republican Rep. David Valadao and Democrat T. J. Cox in California’s rural 21st district. When polls closed, Valadao led Cox by 6,000 votes — or 8 percent. That margin was wide enough for media outlets to call the race for Valadao.
However, late ballots delivered by third-party groups broke so heavily for Cox that he ultimately eked out an 843-vote victory. The results after ballot harvesting were very different from the polling before the race and since. In a July 2019 NRCC survey, Cox was polling at just 36 percent, while 52 percent said they would support "a potential Republican challenger." Valadao has since filed for a rematch.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that elsewhere in the state, Orange County voters on election night 2018 were calling the registrar’s office asking if it was legitimate for someone to come to their door and ask if they could take their ballot.
Who was coming to the door? According to a January 2019 Los Angeles Times story, illegal Dreamers were deeply engaged in the process — not just delivering ballots, but helping voters fill them out.

I totally agree. Just look at the massive turnouts at Trump rallies. Does anyone in their right mind think a democrat can defeat him in a straight-up election?
An obvious solution to this problem and so many others presented by the left.
Fight fire with Fire.
Apparently it’s not not obvious enough for the Grand Old Party, however.
All the CA tricks are now being done in NV. (which we now call CA East). We’ve ended up with a Dem governor and two Harry Reid backed senators. Clark County’s population is pretty hard to overcome out here in rural NV.
More details, please....
which race was affected?
what exposed the practice?
how did the citizens get wind of the secretive practice?
did Texas throw out the results?
were any of the perps penalized?
did Texas pass laws outlawing the practice?
....and so on and so forth......
Considering how many races across rhe country were stolen by democrats due to their numerous criminal tactics concerning ballots, the lack of concern and action by Republicans is baffling.
I wonder if the Demoncrats will use this in the 2020 national elections....of course not...wink wink
AND there were volunteers with blank ballots offering them to anybody who said they were eligible to vote. AND helping them fill out the ballot. AND getting them to sign it.
Here in Arizona the Maricopa County Recorder, Adrian Fontes (Dem supported by Our Revolution), accepted and counted ballots where the signature didn’t even remotely match the signature on record. That was done in Tucson, also. Cheating and never being held accountable is the Left’s MO.
1. No “third parties” should be able to deliver any ballots to a polling station - with the sole exception of a friend or family member delivering 1 or 2 to the mail box as a favor for someone with a legitimate excuse for not going to the polls themselves. Anyone delivering dozens or hundreds should be thrown in jail on suspicion of election fraud, and held until their innocence or guilt can be ascertained (as in, no bail).
2. I’d love to see a study of the “late ballots” that were “found” by third parties - and see what percentage break for Dems vs. the existing ballots, and also vs. the average of several reliable polls for that race as of just before the election. Something tells me that the “late” ballots (and just WHY are they permitted if they’re LATE???) are very heavily skewed toward the Dems, which completely defies simple statistical probability for ONE race, let alone several or dozens.
This stuff is just plain election fraud, and EVERYONE knows it - so WTF are the Republicans going to do about it in 2020?
Dana Rohrabacher WAS DEFEATED VIA BALLOT HARVESTING.
I know! It was terrible! I detest ballot harvesting. Just when the Rs start making some headway in the state congress, the Dems come up with another way to cheat!
The fleeing liberals from California and the northeast and Midwest will turn red states blue
They have already turned Colorado,Nevada, Arizona,
The day the absentee ballots reach the most office boxes a % throw them away. There are large trash cans in the hall by the mail boxes and usually one right outside. If you cover a town like Anaheim you might pick up a few hundred ballots, you can fill out and mail in,
In a town like Anaheim, conniving Dems might pick up a few hundred ballots from the trash, to fill out and mail in.
do that all over soCal and you could have thousands
Hope they’re not reading this.......cackle.
