I sent the Strategy: How Trump may preserve and protect the Federal Election process in 2020 and beyond directly to Jenna Ellis through the Falkirk Center and to Jay Sekulow.

Both are Trump's legal advisors, so one way or another Trump 2020 advisory team will have this strategy to consider.

Anyone have Rudy's eMail?

FReegards!

More at link, also youtube of the entire 17 minute intervew. Seems to focus on ballot harvesting, but there is not way to prevent that other than in person voting, vote by mail invites the harvesting bulls*** as as myriad other methods of fraud. I see this focus on “ballot harvesting” as a very good intro or reason for “no mail in ballots” along with the USPS has already chimed in with “we can’t guarantee safety of mailed in ballots”.

Trump legal adviser: Ballot harvesting unconstitutional if it creates ‘wide opportunity for fraud’

‘We can stand in line and social distance and be safe at a grocery store or hardware store, we can stand in line to vote,’ said Trump 2020 senior legal adviser Jenna Ellis.

Allowing third parties to collect election ballots, a term sometimes called “ballot harvesting,” is unconstitutional if it creates “wide opportunity for fraud,” Trump campaign senior legal adviser Jenna Ellis says.

“I think that ballot harvesting is definitely opening up a ripe opportunity for fraud,” Ellis told Just the News in an interview, while acknowledging there is no language in the Constitution specifying “exactly how a vote has to be held.”

Citing Supreme Court rulings that talk about the importance of election security, Ellis said: “We have to make sure that we are securing the sanctity of that ballot, and part of the right to vote is to make sure that my vote, your vote is fairly and accurately counted.”

“When you undermine election security,” she said, by allowing procedures “that provide such a wide opportunity for fraud, then yes, that can be unconstitutional on that basis.”

Ellis is part of a legal team examining possible breakdowns in what they call the “chain of custody,” e.g. the interposition of additional barriers that separate a voter from directly delivering his or her own ballot to be counted. Each additional degree of separation from a voter’s personal custody of a ballot adds risk and opportunities for fraud, Ellis explained.

“If a ballot is mailed to an individual through the mail, and then they fill out their ballot, and then they give it to a third party to then go and return, and even if that third party happens to be a mail carrier, there are still documented instances where mail carriers have altered or destroyed ballots,” Ellis said. “So that just breaks down the chain of custody, rather than going and voting in person. You know, we can stand in line and social distance and be safe at a grocery store or hardware store — we can stand in line to vote.”

Ellis said today’s uncertain, COVID-era election environment creates openings for electoral mayhem and chaos.

“What we’re trying to make sure that we that we prevent is that these election laws aren’t just manipulated and changed hurriedly and in an unmonitored fashion like what the Democrats want,” Ellis said. “So we filed in multiple states, and if that ballot harvesting issue or the nationwide mail-in voting issue gets to the Supreme Court, then that would be great, but we’re taking this one step at a time and the most recent suit we filed was in the Western District of Pennsylvania, but go to protectthevote.com, and you can see everywhere that we’re fighting.”

Maybe someone like numberonepal or CJWolf and there are others who are on twitter can DM Rudy with your proposal.
