The stomach-turning 'ballot-harvesting' that enabled Democrats to walk off with California

The picture emerging from California's election is grotesque. How again did Democrats engineer their strange midterm victory in Orange County and in other traditionally Republican areas? In that election, apparently-winning Republican candidates were all unseated as the ballots just kept arriving, and arriving, and arriving, until the results flipped. Each and every time. And no such flips happened for Republicans, just Democrats, after Democratic operatives had enough information from televised results to know that Republicans were winning. Democrats say it's just 'counting all the votes.'

Welcome to ballot-harvesting.

The Daily Caller has an ace report with a video showing just how that's done:

Attorney Robert Barnes, on Twitter, noted just how problematic that new practice is:

 

Cali new law for 2018 election "allow anybody to walk into an elections office and hand over truckloads of vote by mail envelopes with ballots inside, no questions asked, no verified records kept. It amounts to an open invitation to large-scale vote buying, voter coercion" — Robert Barnes (@Barnes_Law) December 2, 2018

 

Which is why it's illegal almost everywhere in the world. California, on the other hand, back in 2016, passed AB1921, a law that actually permits it. Anyone can turn in ballots now, no questions asked, no chain of custody required. Back at the time, Democrats were hollering about low turnout and how getting more turnout was a priority, even though they were running a one-party state at that time, as they are now. They painted themselves as all concerned about 'democracy' given the low rates of turnout in their districts, many of which were known as 'rotten boroughs' full of non-citizen voters.

many of the GOP-e people do not care to win many elections.
their every action (and lack of action) proves this simple fact.

they are happy to just rubber-stamp or enable, or simply fail to resist (failure to repeal Obammycare, now the halt on normal judicial confirmations, etc.) the commie-leftist collectivization, taxation, and regulatory “initiatives”

designed to enslave and further exploit Americans.

[Agamemnon]

Some around here chalk it all up to a messaging issue, where (R)'s just failed to make their case. I'm not buying it.

These same folks were not saying anything about failure in (R) messaging prior to the election, and in fact they predicted we'd hold the House by 5 on the low side. They had models, they had inside information on votes cast, they had electoral guru's who counted increases in post-2016 (R) registrations in some cases by hundreds-of-thousands of registrations (Pennsylvania) - the (D)'s "won" anyway.

I am not saying their numbers were wrong, but for them to have been accurate about any thing they predicted prior to the election, there is more to it than this johnny-come-lately nonsense about failure in messaging. Face it. It's fraud folks.

Broward and Miami/Dade Florida tried to do a 2000 electoral fraud re-do, but it was so blatant this time it was jaw dropping.

If failure in messaging was the problem, why wasn't "messaging failure" factored into the rosy estimates made by the gurus before the election?

We have a roaring economy that speaks for itself, and a president with balls who is winning everywhere else he inserts himself. And yet we lost the House, and the consolation prize now is "hey we only have to flip 18 to get the House back."

Those effected by the vote harvesting scam have to prepare a cleverly crafted case and run it up to the USSC that declares vote harvesting unconstitutional as well as strikes down any enabling legislation that allows such a thing to occur. Perhaps the DOJ getting electoral fraud convictions will place future fraudsters on notice.

Why not have Scott initiate an investigation in the Senate about this crap? Get DeSantis to file on the USSC brief as an electorial aggrieved albeit successful party. Get Kemp in Georgia in on the filing too along with all the other CA (R)'s who lost their seats to harvesting, and others who were also affected by this.

Get LS to testify in front of Scott's investigative committee about vote harvesting, the Maricopa shenanigans, and the reasons why Enema is his senator instead of McSally, when McSally was supposedly leading on election night in one of the supposedly more (R) states in the nation.

FReegards!

I agree that this is what the new Democrat Recorder allowed to happen in Maricopa County but I don’t agree that it is the reason that McSally got 10% fewer votes than Ducey. I may have made the difference State wide but McSally was a terrible candidate as we all knew she would be.

[Don W]

Like *Mail-In* ballots aren’t just as, if not MORE vulnerable to this type of fraud!

Yes, voting is completely within the purview of the states. However, can the fedgov not ADD stipulations regarding the electoral process in federal elections?

Or perhaps a CoS ONLY about voter requirements?

Call this “ballot harvesting” what it is, fraud, and bring the enabling statutes to the attention of the Supreme Curt. This is a violation of “one person, one vote”, as much of this “harvesting” was counting the provisional ballots WITHOUT comparing to determine if the vote had already been recorded for that individual in a timely manner.

It matters not that a state statute may exist, that statute is still unconstitutional, and ought to be struck down immediately. In fact, California should be required to hold a new election when it is declared to be not covered by any Constitutional basis.

California’s “jungle primary” is a joke, too.

[iontheball]

Here again, the liberals have wrecked another institution of Constitutional government. This tactic bastardizes the voting process so badly it effectively destroys any reason for holding elections.

[Amendment10]

"Should be outlawed for federal elections - but no chance of that now."

Given that Pres. Trump’s institutionally indoctrinated constitutional “experts” haven’t properly advised him on this issue, patriots need to get word to Pres. Trump to consider that this practice is probably (imo) a violation of Section 2 of the 14th Amendment, and to do something about it.

• ”14th Amendment, Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens [emphases added] twenty-one years of age in such State."

• Apportionment of representation in House of Representatives

Note that later-ratified voting rights amendments affect how Section 2 is interpreted.

Where's that election observer, Jiminy Cricket Carter, at when you need him?

He'd put a stop to this. /sarc/

[familyop]

We need a federal measure against that.

[Windflier]

when we fully enter in WROL

What is WROL?

[HotHunt]

So what if you think McSally was a terrible candidate.

You make it sound like Sinema won because she was a better candidate. She stuck her foot in her mouth so many times before and during the campaign, I thought she must be related to Joe Biden. SHE was the terrible candidate herself.

What Republican in their right mind would vote for Sinema, a radical, uber-liberal democRAT, just because their own candidate, McSally, wasn't perfect?

None that I know of.

McSally won on election night. This ballot harvesting and other established voter fraud shenanigans the democRATS engage in, miraculously gave the election to the liberal in a right-leaning state afterwards.

I'm not buying it. They cheated like they have been caught doing all over the country.

[KC Burke]

How do you explain the ten percent difference between Ducey and McSally.

How do you explain threats to not vote for McSally on FR?

I am not saying there was not cheating going on with ballots being picked up by Dem gangsters. But I am saying the fix is always in at the State level here for which candidates run on the Republican tickets.

[Sans-Culotte]

I agree. There is always fraud, but this year’s fraud exceeded everyone’s expectations. Fraud made the difference. The “extra” wins the ‘rats chalked up AFTER the election were just to rub our faces in it.

[justa-hairyape]

Thwse retarded leftist need to look at France today to see what their future looks like. Heads on pikes coming soon.

[LS]

Happy to. You might want to look at AZDataGuru’s precinct charts while you’re at it. Or listen to the callers to Mike Broomhead’s show-—all Rs who didn’t vote for McSally.

[HotHunt]

Republicans are their own worst enemies.

They seem to always want purity in their candidates or they won't accept them.

The democRATS, on the other hand, don't care how bad their candidates are. They stand behind them, vote for them and then cheat if they have to to get them across the finish line.

We will continue to lose these elections to the democRATS because they fight dirty and we don't fight back at all.

Too many Republicans bailed an McSally and look what it got them. At radical liberal, commie. For Senator.

Even McPain or Flake would be better compared to Sinema. Anybody would be better than Sinema.

[TheTimeOfMan]

WROL - without rule of law.

[Windflier]

WROL - without rule of law.

Thank you.

The stomach-turning 'ballot-harvesting' that enabled Democrats to walk off with California

I expect the GOP to respond in their usual manner, by doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

This is but a dry run on how the dems plan to steal the 2020 elections, including The Presidency!
