DREAMers tell of ballot-harvesting in California to flip the House blue
American Thinker ^ | 1-2-19 | Monical Showalter

It was one of those heartstring-tugging, tear-jerking, carefully curated narratives about DREAMers we're supposed to read and then respond to with sympathy. But a story that ran in the Los Angeles Times yesterday accidentally did more to raise questions about the issue of ballot-harvesting in California than any raving right-wing warning tome could ever do.

The Times describes how California's famed ballot-harvestors, who flipped places such as Orange County blue in the last midterm, aren't actually citizens. They did it by "helping" voters fill out, and turn in, and continue to turn in, ballots from otherwise uncommitted voters until they got the result they wanted. Here's the DREAMers "helping" the voters vote the way they wanted, in action:

In California, Dreamers like Cruz phoned voters, walked precincts and protested outside Republican lawmakers’ offices, reaching people who had not been called or visited by either party. Their efforts helped boost turnout among Latinos in this year’s midterm election — 29 million nationwide were eligible to vote, according to the Pew Research Center — which is projected to surpass levels higher than in past presidential election years, political analysts said.

An analysis of data from eight states by the Latino Policy and Politics Initiative at UCLA found the Latino vote grew by an estimated 96% from 2014 to 2018, compared with 37% among non-Latinos. The surge, researchers said, helped move 20 House districts held by Republicans to Democratic control in California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas, New Mexico, Florida, New Jersey and New York.

And here's how they actually did it: Half an hour later, she was helping Silva look up candidates as he filled out his ballot by the light of her phone. “I’m glad you guys came,” he said. “I was going to leave it in my drawer.”

Naturally, the story doesn't say what the "harvester" would do if the "voter" wanted to vote a different way...read on.

I must note that there are other ways of harvesting ballots, so don't feel comfortable that this scheme hasn't come to your state yet. In Wisconsin, they allowed 6 weeks of early voting in the liberal strongholds and only 2 weeks in the conservative areas. They also spiked up the turnout by including a non-binding marijuana referendum in the University areas and allowed early voting on Saturdays and Sundays. Needless to say, Republicans lost the election.

Ballot harvesting is voter fraud and a seditious felony.

Fraudulently documented foreigners are deciding our elections and our future.

Bush League Republicans are responsible.

And of course no one knows how many households these foreigners visited or how many Republican votes they threw away.

Once they have destroyed this nation, then what?

Who stands between the good and China, Russia, the ABC of terrorist groups...?

These people are putting in power the very people who will destroy them.

This has played out a number of times over the last 100 years.

Our intellectuals have the most to lose. They are always the first to be re-educated, if the new rulers actually care to put out that much of an effort. Ditches are ever so much quicker and reliable.

Wouldn’t you think the RNC would be aggressive on this?

ballots from otherwise uncommitted voters

"Otherwise uncommitted voters" who are still digging Rio Grande mud out of their ears.

Satan and his worship is at the core...and he came to steal, kill and destroy....human reasoning of the end game is not important in the grand scheme.

The sad truths are:

The RATS could give the Russians lessons on voting fraud and rigging elections that would even make Putin blush.

And, the laisser-faire RHINOS are averse to making waves and defending our democratic republic from this outrageous domestic tyranny!!!

Even today, as she speaks out against her own uncle Mittens, I dread how much ballot harvesting, etc., will go unchecked with Ronna Romney McDaniel at the helm.

Early voting, drive-up voting, instant registration, 3rd party ballot collecting, absentee voting

All are invitations to fraud

they all make elections a joke

All cheapen and devalue the meaning of voting and any kind of responsibility for voting.

Imagine if they were Russians.

Mueller would care.

I don’t see how lawsuits could not be brought...this is a national consequential event(s), and should be a DOJ item.

But we don’t have a DOJ...

if we were really still in charge, those harvesting would be in jail as well as their management.
