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 years 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. Im glad you guys came, he said. I was going to leave it in my drawer.

The 116th US Congress is illegitimate, and any laws it passes are null and void.
The Left said "#NotMyPresident".
We say "#NotMyLaws".
We act before 2020, or we surrender. It's that simple.
The Republicans and the Democrats are both in the same party.
They just put on a show for the rubes.
Foreign nationals are voting, without any fear of prosecution. That changes the nature of the election, and in fact, the U.S. republic itself. Voting up until now has been a practice reserved for citizens. Today, non-citizens vote, by getting hold of indifferent Americans, and filling in the ballots by proxy. Who knows what kind of coercion is employed. If DREAMers can do it to promote their own political agenda, what’s to stop other foreigners - with far more malign agendas, from doing it? Will a team of Russian or Chinese agents, or Arab terrorists, or Mexican cartels, be next to help harvest the ballots?
Nothing like the "secret ballot"...
The rat party was testing the harvesting waters here in BETO’s home town!! The DNC was registering people at EVERY SOCIAL EVENT in our town, at health fairs, at the park,every stinking place they could get their filthy hands on!! How many of those person to person registration was part of the harvesting scheme? Our town saw a record breaking early and election votes! And Beto isn’t overwhelming loved here either!!! Texas is next to fall!! Bank on it!! I knowth what I speakth!! CALImexico’s scheme WORKED TO PERFECTION and it emboldened them to take it across the nation!! FREAKIN RNC BETTER WAKE UP AND SMELL THE FRAUD!!
I have absolutely no doubt that many of these ballots are even more fraudulent then this stories implies. An adut that actually contacted everyone who voted by this manor would reveal a whole lot of fraud going on. Of course such an audit has never been done.
We need to have federal protections in Federal elections. But with the democrats now having the house then no such reform will ever occur.
You got that right. To do nothing is to lose.
Ditto on the marijuana issue in Michigan.
I believe this is what happened in Nevada as well. Our new governor (D) campaigned on gun control!
It should be grounds for overturning an election and giving the seat to the opponent.
Automatically.
See ya at the bill signing!
Cheap labor and Democrat votes. Or Chamber of Commerce / GOP Establishment.
yes
Mueller would care?
Not if they voted Demonrat!
Hate to say it...but until/unless ballot harvesting is banned one way or another, Republicans had better learn to play by the same exact rules.
Republicans MUST have their own ballot harvesting infrastructure in place before the next election.
bkmk
So when they go “help” a republican voter they can accidentally lose those votes.
No matter what, youre always fighting tyranny at some level.
How about some federal felony convictions for the "harvesters" and the "voters" (followed by deportation)? I'd bet that would curtail this voter fraud a lot quicker.

I do wish people on our side would quit using the ridiculous “DREAMer” euphemism. They are illegal immigrants, period.
Whoever controls the language controls the debate. We used to be much better at that, and certainly can’t afford to cede that territory now.
