The Trump campaign is suing three Iowa counties over their absentee ballots, which arrived “pre-filled with information” — something the campaign claims violates Secretary of State Paul Pate’s (R) instruction to mail blank forms to voters.
The Trump campaign has launched lawsuits against Johnson, Linn, and most recently, Woodbury County over the mailing of absentee ballot request forms featuring pre-filled information, including “names, dates of birth and a voting pin number that few people know,” according to the Associated Press (AP).
In March, Pate announced that absentee ballot request forms would be mailed out to every active registered voter in the state ahead of the state’s June 2 primary. Similarly, voters “just have to review, sign and return the forms to get ballots mailed to them beginning Oct. 5,” for the upcoming general election.
The issue, though, is the pre-filled information. The campaign contends that it violates Pate’s insistence that blank ballot forms be sent to voters to “ensure uniformity statewide,” according to the AP:
County officials say they are acting within their authority to promote absentee voting during the coronavirus pandemic. They say that leaving the forms blank would threaten to disenfranchise people who do not know their voting pin or driver’s license numbers, either of which must be provided under the state’s voter identification law.
Under a new law passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature, auditors cannot use their databases to fill in blank pin numbers on the forms as they have done in past elections. Instead, they must try to contact those voters by email or mail to correct errors themselves, a time-consuming process that will not always be successful.

Where is the Iowa RNC???????
Trump is fighting against both parties. Well, one party called the Uniparty.
“If they don’t know their Driver License Number”!!!????
Are they Blind or RETARDED?
Don’t know the pin...Ok fine.
Alternate choice Driver’s License: look on your license idiot.
You can't make this stuff up.
The entire RNC (with only a few Rep congress people) can be compared to a Milky Way bar....it’s a castrated Snickers. They had sent me a poll to fill out, mostly of how the president is doing with issues which I had responded very favorably. Then after the last question, there was the “How much can we depend on you to send to the RNC?” I put a note enclosed with it stating that I won’t give money to the RNC until they start backing the president. I have given money to the president’s campaign.
The reason that a “pin” or “drivers license number” is requested is TO VERIFY THE IDENTITY OF THE PERSON SENDING IN THE FORM. To prefill the field is to invite unqualified people to request a ballot with someone else’s identity.
This is evidence of the fraud that President Trump warned about.
Does a bank send out a notice that you can visit your online account to see new transactions AND INCLUDE THE USERID AND PASSWORD on the notice?? Of course not!!

Oh, Fer Pete’s Sake! Then, these IDIOTS and/or ILLEGALS shouldn’t even be voting in the FIRST place!
Can you say, ‘Voter Fraud?’ I KNEW that ya could!
Contact Iowa State Senator Joni Ernst. She’s usually as useless as teats on a boar, but maybe she’ll help in this case where SHE could be ‘disenfranchised’ out of her job in 2021 via Voter Fraud!

If one is so dumb that they don’t know how to locate their DMV number, why the hell are they allowed to drive?
Is Kalifornia also being sued? The democrats have already stolen Congressional seats using ballot harvesting and now with mail-in-ballots for all, why even hold an election when the outcome is preordained? Where’s AG Bill Barr? My gawd, why are we paying him?
Mailing documents with the combination of a name and date of birth is illegal under Federal law.
Poor people often don't know how to get or put on glasses.
Disenfranchisement!
Every adult in every state has to have some form of state ID, either a DL state issued ID, something or else how do they get their benefits or prove who they are getting medical services/ Have you ever been to a hospital or doctors office where they haven’t asked for proof of who you are?
Anybody so STUPID that they can’t figure this out shouldn’t be voting anyway.
