Be understood that ballot harvesting is a euphemism for cheating.

It may be cheating, but if its legal, the other side needs to up their game to at least the same level as the communists

Be it understood that ballot harvesting is a euphemism for cheating.

Thank you for the public reminder! In that context, it's specifically a euphemism for vote fraud. One popular gambit is getting your hands on other people's absentee ballot applications--especially convenient if they're, say, old folks in an assisted-living facility who may not even be reading their mail--and filing out the application for them, changing the return address to, say, a mailbox or post box you control. Signatures on the applications in many heavily (perhaps) Democratic districts may not be diligently checked against records by election workers who are in on the game. So, who knows whether it's John Doe who is actually the guy receiving John Doe's absentee ballot to cast?

You collect hundreds or thousands of these signed applications, receive the ballots, and have election parties where your party's volunteers fill them all out for your party. Then they stamp them and drop them into various post boxes.

That was one of the games played prolifically in swing states in 2020. I'm an election inspector (who fortunately works for a very strict district). Signatures nowadays are easy to check accurately against previous records. But in corrupt districts run predominantly by one party, signature matches on ballot applications, at polling-place sign-ins, and on the ballots themselves might not be challenged if the ballot is cast for, you know, the right party.

Our electoral system stands or falls on our voting districts being filled with people who hold themselves and others to the standard of truth.
