Too late. GOP'er management just invested in new rolls of "Just Voted" stickers to be worn on gameday. They still think it's 1973

allot harvesting.” To some, it’s a creepy term, conjuring images of hulking party machines plowing through passive fields of citizens, threshing their votes and delivering them to the ballot box. To others, the whole thing seems practically a conspiracy theory — a catch-all for sore losers who can’t understand how voters could have rejected their team.
Feelings aside, ballot harvesting is a reality for much of the country. In twenty-seven states, your ballot can be returned by someone other than you, your family member or your caregiver. Further, only twelve of those twenty-seven have any limit at all on the number of ballots a person can turn in, meaning an eager harvester can show up with dozens or hundreds of ballots.

one helluva way to run a country!!!!
Now what she is doing may be technically illegal, but there is zero chance to ever prove it. Dad and kids might not really care, but they would certainly claim they voted if ever asked so mom wouldn't get in trouble. So now one democrat vote has suddenly become four democrat votes. Now multiply that by 100,000 in that state and democrats have suddenly gained 300,000 votes they wouldn't have had before.
It will go away if republicans master the practice. The more republicans do it and win from it, the more democrats will come to hate it. Of course, not without first a lot of complaining, hand wringing, arrests and congressional investigations by democrats. And lots of whining and “threat-to-democracy” hand wringing by their friendly media too. Some other tactic will be found.
Learn it. Love it. Live it.
Ballot harvesting was fraud, is fraud and will always be fraud.
Make it illegal.
Rules get changed, can’t play by the rules you wont be able to change them.
cut it off at the source. Mail-in ballots need to be curtailed. Since Covid, mail-in ballots are being mailed out to almost everyone. This needs to stop. Mail-in ballots should only be available to those with extenuating circumstances.
The California GOP figured this out quickly after 2008. Why the rest of the country’s GOP hasn’t gotten in board is baffling.
How about the unionized caregiver at a large nursing facility? Offers to help a few of the “less aware” residents fill out their mail in ballots, presto, a big stack of Dem votes. Probably not significant in the strongholds for either side but enough maybe to tip some elections in the purple states.

First you have to get them to care!
Agree it is dirty, distasteful, and probably borderline illegal but as the article points out it is not going anywhere.
I would not advocate illegal practices but if it’s legal you can’t concede these types of votes and win close elections.
You need to win elections first.
OK, what’s the first step to making it illegal? Winning elections in the states where it is legal. Now how do you go about doing that?
We had the most perfect elections. How did they get so bastardized?
It’s depressing.
