Have no idea of the veracity of this.
Definitely worth looking into, though.
“If you get a mail in ballot for the November election, do not destroy it or throw it away. If you do and you go to vote, they will assume you’ve already voted because they have a record that you got a mail-in ballot. Then you will not be allowed to vote on election day. You must bring the mail-in ballot with you. Otherwise you will not get to vote. Technically you will get to vote but you’ll have to go downtown to the courthouse and go through all kinds of hoops to get your vote counted, which probably almost no one will do. This is part of the conspiracy for voter fraud. The Dems are going to make sure that a lot of ballots are mailed to a lot of Democrats and a lot to Republicans and they’re going to count on Republicans not knowing what to do because this isn’t what they do. The Republicans will probably throw their ballots away and then they won’t be able to vote. This is not a rumor, this is true.”
Even if you receive your vote-by-mail ballot, you can change your mind and vote at a polling place on Election Day. To do so, you can:
If you do not bring your vote-by-mail ballot with you, you will not lose your opportunity to vote at a polling place on Election Day. A poll worker will provide you with a provisional ballot, which will be counted after your county elections official has confirmed you are registered to vote in that county and did not vote more than once in that election.

Hmmm, still disturbed.
Wow. So if a MIB was mailed to you even if you didn’t ask for it and you show up to vote in person.. you can’t. Electoral fraud like we have never seen before.
I thought that was standard practice. If you request a mail in ballot, you can’t vote at a polling place. You’ve made your choice.
But the key is that you request a mail in ballot. At that point you have made your choice.
Yep, that’s my reading.
I believe that is the practice in Nebraska. If you requested and were sent a mail-in ballot, that is how you must vote.
Ok so they mail me an unsolicited ballot. I do not receive it. Therefore when I go to my polling place I can not vote. What a disaster.
I was thinking about this yesterday.
Literally anything to make it more difficult to have a normal legitimate election.
“provide you with a provisional ballot”
If you get a provisional ballot you have to follow up with the county clerk to make your vote counts. The rats are counting on you not doing that.
That’s not a problem in Georgia. We have a better procedure to verify if you have voted.
The problem with this idea is knowing exactly who you voted for.If any such attempt was made with me...if I've received a mail in I would have tossed it...I'd say I voted a straight Rat ticket from Plugs all the way down to Town Dog Catcher.
They can only disallow in person vote if your ballot is already recorded.
In the immortal words of Sherman T. Potter: HORSE HOCKEY!
You will be allowed to cast a provisional ballot in person on election day. Then if your mail-in ballot is not received by the cutoff date, then your provisional ballot will be counted. If your mail-in ballot is received, then your provisional ballot will be voided.
This is EXACTLY what President Trump was saying when he said to "mail in your vote, then go vote in person."
So the keyword is ‘requested.’
In the past, mail-in ballots were only sent out if they had been requested by the voter. This year, I’m assuming millions of mail-in ballots were sent out even though they were not requested by the voter. BUT were they recorded as requested, more or less automatically... I guess it all depends on the honesty of your respective Secy of State. In California, that’d be Alex Padilla, democrap activist: Zero on a scale of 1 to 10 for honesty.
Please note that these procedures differ from one state to another. In some states, they might vary by county. Everyone should check how they will be allowed to vote.
E.g., in New Jersey, they are essentially eliminating polling places.
Sounds like a hoax, and not a very beleiveable one.
If people are really psyched about standing in a plague line to vote, have it.
I will be voting by mail, as usual, if that’s not good enough for any particular candidate no problem.
There are several to choose from, and it won’t be wasted on somebody who doesn’t want it.
This is why Republicans need to vote in person. Wear a gas mask if that makes you feel comfortable but do it in person.
— That’s not a problem in Georgia. We have a better procedure to verify if you have voted.
Ditto for New Hampshire.
