When Democrats across the country recently condemned the “ballot harvesting” election fraud on display in North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District, Republicans who have spent years fighting the practice found themselves saying “I told you so.”
Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez praised the North Carolina election board’s decision last week to throw out the results that delivered a win for Republican Mark Harris and mandate an election do-over to determine the true winner.
“Calling for a new election in #NC09 was the right decision,” Perez tweeted. “Americans shouldn’t have to wonder if their votes will be counted. We need to fight like hell to make sure this doesn’t happen again in #NC09 or anywhere else in our country.”
Republicans were less-than-impressed by Perez’s condemnation of ballot-harvesting fraud. That’s because ballot harvesting is illegal in North Carolina only because the GOP-controlled legislature outlawed it. Only close relatives or legal guardians can submit a ballot on behalf of a voter; all others risk being charged with a felony.
Most Republican efforts to address voter fraud focus on laws requiring in-person voting and photo IDs. Such voter-verification policies for years have spurred charges of racism from Democrats, who maintain that they are designed to suppress the vote of minorities.
Democrats generally support efforts to expand mail-in voting and to legalize ballot harvesting – the practice in which organized workers or volunteers collect absentee ballots from voters and drop them off at a polling place or election office. They also have long argued that elections where mail-in ballots are heavily used usually go off without a hitch.

Reading these articles makes me laugh. The republicans did nothing on the national level to stop these practices and they have no ability whatsoever to stop them in Democrat controlled States. It’s even hilarious that the only ballot harvesting case I can think of is only successfully used against the Republican because republicans are the biggest idiots on Earth.
Really bad. Is there any way to catch non-Republicans doing it?
We have to just do it ourselves. Honestly.
Ballot harvesting decimated us in KahLeeFawKneeYah....
“Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez praised the North Carolina election board’s decision last week to throw out the results that delivered a win for Republican Mark Harris and mandate an election do-over to determine the true winner.”
And voter harvesting is legal in California and cost the Republicans 4 seats in Orange County. The Republicans need to grow some ‘nads and get this before the Supreme Court before the 2020 elections or between this and illegals voting and states giving their electoral college votes to the winner of the popular vote or they may lose House, Senate and Presidency.
May? MAY? Why should there even be a question about this?
Republicans have sat silent as the democrats have registered illegal aliens, voted college kids at home and school, used unpurged rolls to get 105% voter turnouts, registered green card aliens, especially Indians, Bengalis, Chinese, Somalis and Irish, harvested absentee ballots, voted in multiple states like snow-bird New Yorkers in Florida, instituted same day registration and voting, and kept hidden boxes of votes for recounts.
And what did it get them - democrats using one tiny example of vote harvesting to make it look like te dems are the good guys, with help of a compliant media.
States are flipping democrat because of these vote fraud democrat actions, and the Republicans do nothing. As a state slips into the democrat blue, it becomes a permanent blue because once in power, democrats rig the elections.
Look at California - Republicans don’t even get on the ballot there.
And once red Virginia is becoming California East, with democrats totally in charge thanks to illegal aliens and vote fraud.
Give the democrats credit. They fight for their party, corruptly, while the Republican elites have their gardens tended by illegals while reminiscing how nice it used to be.
Can we throw out the results of those seven seats the Democrats stole using the same techniques?
The GOP needs to start harvesting ballots. Big time. While trying to stop it in every state they can.
MAY have to push back?
Hey whatch mean, Ryan said it was curious what happened in California. You make it sound like he didndunuffin.
“The Republicans need to grow some ‘nads and get this before the Supreme Court before the 2020 elections “
In the meantime, take advantage of it in California and other states who make it legal. Who knows how long it will take to get to the Supremes, if ever?
It’s a sad fact that countries like Iraq has a more transparent and less corruption prone electoral system than the U.S.A.
Sure, but the Gop wanted the leftist to win, so they did nothing.
The Dems managed to get a team of Europeans to serve as election monitors in one of the recent presidential elections. The Europeans didn’t even file a report. They took one look at our failure to vet voters properly, packed up, and went home with the comment, “You people are crazy.”
GOP push back?
When in the history of the universe has that ever happened?
GOP... push back? Get real.
They're the most ineffectual political party in human history. Tagline.
