The Republican National Committee (RNC), the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), and the Florida GOP won a federal court victory upholding Florida’s ban on ballot harvesting.
Priorities USA, a progressive advocacy group, and other Democrat plaintiffs dismissed their claims in Nielsen v. DeSantis, a lawsuit challenging Florida’s ban on ballot harvesting which also aimed to force the state to count ballots that arrived after Election Day. The plaintiffs also dropped their claim that Florida needed to provide pre-paid postage on vote-by-mail ballots.
RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a statement on Sunday:
Today’s victory is a win for Florida voters and a win for election integrity. Democrats’ assault on our elections process is not based on fact or reason, which is why they are dismissing every claim in their radical suit. The RNC will continue to step in and fight back against Democrat attempts to circumvent existing law and weaken our elections process.
The RNC highlighted a deposition, which they say weakened the suit, in which a Yale University student claimed that he was disenfranchised by having to travel to a post office to mail his ballot, “even though there was a mailbox in front of his house or a post office six blocks from his house.”
The GOP also noted that Florida will have to highlight “election integrity measures,” including the ballot harvesting ban, in a public relations campaign.
Rep. Rodney Davis (R-IL), the ranking member of the House Administration Committee, told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview in June that mail-in voting and ballot harvesting are “ripe for corruption.”

You know the Dems will do it anyway
Especially in Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade counties.
They need to do this in California
Dismissed there case you say?
Maybe they withdrew their case to avoid a conservative state Supreme Court that would set a precedent
If the voter rolls are not perfectly clean, you can’t have vote by mail. And since none of the states have anything close to clean voter rolls, then no mail in voting. Most if not all of the rolls are so bad that an election could be overwhelmed by voter fraud.
This ban should be across the land. Any judge’s decision that stops a Trump exec order applies nationwide.. why not this?
FL = key state.
It’s interesting to me that my husband can’t help me fill out my ballot at the polling place but the Dems want complete strangers to be able to get ahold of my ballot outside the polling place and “turn it in” for me. I’m in Florida so I don’t know if other States have rules in place at the polling location re: help in filling it out.
If enough jurisdictions allow for voting by mail, Trump loses!
+1
It is mostly RAT-infested states that allow vote by mail. They make no difference to his chances.
Will this victory serve as a precedent for lawsuits in other states?
Bump
With harvesting, we may not know the CA totals until Inauguration Day
But, as we saw in 2018, it could change the make-up of the House
I was moving years ago and had my ballot not counted. P.O. insists on oversize postage. I had applied only one stamp.
Such a waste as the oversized ballots just make the populous double the postage on mail-in.
Pass a law that says any and all ballots will be delivered for ONE STAMP. FIRST CLASS on single ounce.
“If the voter rolls are not perfectly clean, you can’t have vote by mail.”

Even then you cannot have vote by mail without further opening the doors to greater vote fraud.
