A spate of lawsuits has revealed that, after a failed legislative attempt to pass all-mail voting, corrupt left-wing elites now plan to use the courts in their bid to secure the outcome of the November election. With the coronavirus crisis largely waning, operatives like former Obama-era Attorney General Eric Holder are rushing to exploit their Overton window of opportunity.
“This case could not be more urgent,” Holder said in a recent statement.
At least one Holder-backed lawsuit is being bankrolled by members of the Democracy Alliance, a cabal of billionaire leftist mega-donors including George Soros and Tom Steyer.
. The group’s underlying goal is to sow political chaos and test the structural integrity of America’s foundering pro-democratic institutions.
Other legal challenges are likely to follow as the oligarch-activists—who cynically claim that the normal process for conducting free elections would pose a health risk—see no qualms in forcing the courts to process their spurious, partisan complaints.
On the same day that President Donald Trump declared a national emergency due to the escalating pandemic, Marc Elias, Democrats’ “best Election stealing lawyer” chimed in with his scheme to force a mail-in-only November election.
Marc E. Elias
I am getting a lot of questions about the November election. While states can set their own primary days, the federal general election is set by federal statute as the the Tuesday following the first Monday in November. This date cannot be changed by a state nor by the President. https://twitter.com/jaketapper/status/1238506211252809729 …

Louisiana Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin announces the Louisiana Primary scheduled for April 4 is being postponed until June 20 due to concerns over the coronavirus outbreak and “to best protect the health and safety of Louisiana voters and voting officials.”
The treacherous Perkins Coie attorney has his fingerprints on everything from court-forced sue-till-blue gerrymandering to dark money to the Steele Dossier—not to mention cases in which the mysterious appearance of bags of uncounted ballots overturned GOP election victories.
Elias’s Friday the 13th tweet helped inspire a wave of leftists in the Democrat echo-chamber to push for legislation that would allocate billions of dollars to the dubious ballot-grab effort.

Since he’s taking advantage of #VoteByMail himself, I hope Donald Trump would commit to signing my bill into law to help states implement vote by mail through November to keep every American safe. However, the scheme was quickly exposed and roundly dismissed by Republicans, including Trump, who saw through the hollow attempt to allow unprecedented levels of election fraud and ballot mishandling.

Absentee Ballots are a great way to vote for the many senior citizens, military, and others who can’t get to the polls on Election Day. These ballots are very different from 100% Mail-In Voting, which is “RIPE for FRAUD,” and shouldn’t be allowed!
“The Democrats’ all-mail ballots proposal is a ruse to legalize ballot harvesting nationwide,” wrote Ronna McDaniel, chair of the Republican National Committee .
“Any person would be allowed to return an unlimited number of absentee ballots for voters, opening the door for political operatives to deliver ballots in bulk,” she said.
In Virginia, an ACLU-backed lawsuit is attempting fraudulently to use the state’s emergency powers to overturn a longstanding rule that requires witness signatures on absentee ballots, in order to attest that those submitting them are who they claim to be.
Every rat Governor is going to try to get Mail voting shoved through whether they get this in enough state to get to 270 EC votes is what is going to decide the election
All the Kings Men. That is the future they are working towards.
One of the local boss progs (John Wiley Price - Dallas County Commisioner District 3) has already called for that here in Dallas.
As soon as the phoney “second wave / boomerang” narrative hit yesterday he led the way by demanding it.
This is lining up with the progs demanding everyone get tested so they can run up the numbers.

I live in Florida, we have absentee balloting, what’s the difference between voting absentee and what the Democrats are suggesting..
If they are suggesting publishing a ballot in the newspaper and people using that to vote, then no way, but since we have absentee voting in Florida, if people want to use that go ahead, it’s already legal...

Ballot harvesting
Ballot harvesting, also called vote harvesting, is the collecting and submitting of absentee or mail-in voter ballots by volunteers or workers. It occurs in some areas of the U.S. where voting by mail is common, but is illegal in some other states. Arizona banned the practice except for family members and caregivers.
Look it up.

And they also don’t count Rep ballots.

North Carolina comes to mind. There are probably other swing states with Dem governors eager to put their thumbs on the electoral scale.
I guess, but absentee voting is you request a ballot, they send it to you, you fill it out, send it back and you’ve then voted...all this is via the mail, so in essence it’s vote by mail
If the average wants to do that, I don’t see an issue.
but anything more than that is not a good idea...
Ballot harvesting I agree is a non-starter, but that’s not really vote by mail if people go around and gather them

The Dem plan seems to be to mail every registered voter a ballot. Then Democrat operatives would go door to door and either “harvest” the ballot directly or remind the person to mail it. Long term they want a voting app on phones I suppose.
The left always cheats. What’s new is how they are doing it.
I’m not for that, but if it happens, two can play that game, in conservative areas, go door to door collecting votes, we can’t unilaterally disarm just because we don’t like the practice..
Ever since Hillary was defeated in 2016, the left has declared war on the right, conservatives, the Constitution and America. They will do everything they possibly can to make sure it doesn’t happen again.....ANYTHING. This is the kind of thing that will make CWII go hot overnight.
George Soros is spear heading all of this.
He should be drawn and quartered.
Ky “Lockdown Beshear” spent 20 minutes of his press briefing today telling everyone hoe to vote absentee, by mail.
THAT was his MOST importance message.
Its coming from all sides we need to have a strong response that lasts
Mail in vote and ballot harvesting vote is the end of the Republic as founded. Maybe the USA lasts another 20 years after until it fully disintegrates.
