The use of ballot harvesting is a direct assault on the value of participating in a democratic republic. Every political philosopher that ever argued for democratic societies also contended that direct participation of a voting individual in the process was an obligation of citizenship.

By sending out ballots to people who didn’t volunteer to participate, just so their ballot can be harvested from them by paid partisans undermines to legitimacy and significance of one-person-one-vote. Universal mailing of unsolicited ballots that can be harvested by partisans is unjust, immoral, and subverts the letter and spirit of the Constitution.

Good thing only 8 states do that and they're mostly true blue. CA, CO, NI, OR, UT, WA, NV and passed this year so starting in 2024, VT.

Seems some conservatives think this is done nationwide but it's not.
