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
btt
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.
Ballot harvesting was fraud, is fraud and will always be fraud.
Make it illegal.
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.
First you have to get them to care!
We had the most perfect elections. How did they get so bastardized?
It’s depressing.

We need to stop BALLOT PLANTING!.......................
I can’t believe that on a supposedly moral, conservative website we’re discussing how to outcheat our opponents. How far the country has fallen.
“””This should be required reading”””
I would except for the paywall
It’s a matter for States, need State Legislatures, Governors and Sec. of States to step up.
In GA everyone stepped up and pretty much ended ballot harvesting in 2021. You used to be able to do mass requests for mail-in ballots via computer. That stopped. You now have to fill out a request by hand and sign it, and only the person receiving the ballot can request one.
Also, drop-box numbers and locations need to be restricted. In GA the number of drop boxes was cut way down and the drop boxes can’t be on sidewalks or street corners, need to be at a public building (only 1 in inner city ATL, at a Rec Center). Drop box hours in GA are 7AM-7PM, no more midnight box stuffing.
There was story a week or so ago where local Dem leaders in ATL said they had to go back to in-person voting, where ID is required, and there’s a paper trail. Course you still have some legit mail-ins from handicaps and seniors. In ‘rat hole Fulton County there are 750,000 registered voters, and only 23,000 mail-in ballots were counted in 2022.
Absolutely agreed. In a fair system mass mail and ballot harvesting would be illegal, but if those are the rules let’s start playing in the mud too. We gain nothing by being virtuous. If they cheat we need to cheat better. Adapt or lose.
PAYWALL
Can a church ballot harvest its parishioners?

You compare the list of voters with those who haven’t voted. You approach those who haven’t voted in your party with a ballot and have them vote for your candidate. The harvester then takes your ballot to the post office or a ballot box depending on the laws in that state.
Not illegal. Not really immoral either. Find a lazy republican, of which there is no shortage of, have them fill out and sign ballot, turn it in. You're merely increasing turnout. That is a big part of what the dems are doing to win. Only 7 states mass mail ballots out so it's not like there's a billion ballots floating around to fraudulently fill in and return. CA, CO, HI, NV, OR, UT, WA
About half the states allow ballot harvesting. https://ballotpedia.org/Ballot_harvesting_(ballot_collection)_laws_by_state
In the mean time, someone needs to take it to the supreme court that everyone needs to prove that they are the person that voted, and limit absentee to real reasons, and outlaw ‘ballot harvesting’..
