Only voters already registered can print off the precinct ballot, and the ballot has an individual voter ID. This doesn’t fall under absentee voting; it falls under one of the ways for registered voters to vote (same-day balloting).
From http://utah.gop/wp-content/uploads/2016-Caucus-Rules-FINAL.pdf (which says exactly the same way that Cruz told his people to do - with only already-registered voters even ABLE to print off a ballot, so Still’s claim of Cruz encouraging law-breaking fraud is NOT true):
“Same Day Balloting
A precinct-specific ballot will be available on the precinct website 24 hours before
the neighborhood caucus election convenes. Candidates on the ballot will be any
registered Republican who pre-registers to run for a precinct office or delegate
seat. The ability to print the online ballot will only be available to a registered
Republican from that specific precinct. The ballot will not include the individual’s
name, but will include their unique Voter ID, number or another suitable unique
identifier at the top of the ballot. Individuals are only allowed to vote using their
unique ballot. No copies of ballots are allowed.
The Precinct Host and ballot counters will verify that only unique same-day
ballots will be cast at the neighborhood caucus election by verifying that no
duplicate Voter ID numbers or other identifiers are present at the top of the
ballots. The ballot will accommodate write-in candidates. The ballot will not be
signed, to protect the right to a secret ballot. The ballot will be folded and inserted
into an envelope, the envelope will be sealed, and the voter will affix his
signature across the envelope seal. A copy of a government-issued ID – front
and back – will accompany the envelope.
A person may bring to caucus no more than three (3) ballots on behalf of others.
The person to whom the voter’s envelope and copy of the ID is entrusted to shall
be responsible to deliver the envelope to the Precinct Host and to destroy the
copy of the ID or to return it to the voter. The State Party will assume no liability
for the information on the copy of the voter’s ID.
The Precinct Host and ballot counters will verify the identity of the voter using the
copy of the voter’s ID to ensure the individual meets all regular requirements for
participation in that precinct’s neighborhood caucus election. The Precinct Host
and ballot counters will verify the signature on the envelope against the signature
on the copy of the government-issued ID, but will not take possession of the copy
of the ID. Once the signature is verified the ballot will be certified.
The ballot will be used in all rounds of voting.
A voided blank copy of the ballot will be posted conspicuously inside the precinct
location throughout the registration and meeting.
The Cruz Team mailer CLEARLY says absentee.
Your link is to the Utah GOP, not the state. It is the state that lays down the law for voter registration, not a political party.
The Cruz mailer has no content describing information in the link you gave.
As for printing, it is an easy matter to print off ballots from onlune voter rolls complete with addresses. The Cruz Team mailer refers to printing a ballot based on precinct number only. Anyone could access this. The state left it up to poll workers to check the registered voter rolls for ballot integrity. No such poll workers were stationed.
You can spin it however you want. The truth of the matter is that the Cruz Team is run by a notorious operator named Jeff Roe who is no stranger to cheating and lying. That is your team.
