Marilyn Marks could not be more worried. She fears that Republican Rep. Cory Gardner could lose a U.S. Senate seat in the mail — literally. “He has a real chance of winning,” Marks told me. “But this ‘100 percent absentee ballot’ disaster is likely to undermine every GOP candidate in a tight race.”
Some 3.6 million such ballots have reached active voters and even those who last voted in 2008. “I’m going to people’s houses where they’re getting seven ballots to a household,” Republican State Senator Ted Harvey told the Washington Times. “Their children when they were 18 registered to vote there. They’re now 30 years old and living somewhere else, but now that their inactive voting status is now active, the clerk and recorders are required to send them ballots . . . If Mom and Dad wanted to, they could vote them.”
In another potential headache, “harvesters” will collect ballots door to door. “The proliferation of ‘ballot harvesting’ ranges from perfectly legal campaigning to pressure tactics to undue influence to intimidation to forgery of ballots and everything in between,” Marks says.
Undercover investigator James O’Keefe of Project Veritas released a film Wednesday in which Greenpeace’s Christen Topping explains where to glean discarded ballots. A “lower class” building at “Sixth and Belmar Circle” in “ghetto Aurora” is promising, Topping says. “North Aurora is a lot of people who — I hate to, like, put in clichés — but people don’t care.” Meredith Hicks is a director for Work for Progress, a nonprofit laboring to re-elect Senator Mark Udall, D-Colo. Hicks urges O’Keefe to harness these abandoned ballots. “That’s not even, like, lying and stealing,” she says. “If someone throws out a ballot, like, if you want to fill it out, you should do it.”

NOt sure what the issue is. I don’t like the idea of Mailing in you vote, as the head of a household could do that, if he’s got a family of five eligible, but what if more people vote for the republican if he’s the better candidate. I mean, our side can get out the vote just as good as they can.
On the other hand, if they’re sending out more votes than votes...then maybe there will be a problem.
Why is Meredith Hicks not in JAIL right now????? VOTE FRAUD!!!
How about Pubbie volunteers fan out and go door-to-door collecting ballots?
You would be HORRIBLE in a Foxhole!!
Why not ? Because you know that if Conservatives/Republicans did it, THEY would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. . .
Next stop; civil war.
I’m not buying the democrat voter suppression plan the democrats are happily promoting at FR.
Laws in my state have gotten considerably stronger.
Most Republicans have jobs to go to and family responsibilities. They volunteer in their communities.
Most Democrats are living off handouts from the taxpayers and have all kinds of free time. Most of these people committing fraud are collecting taxpayer money either from handouts or a government job where they can show up whenever they want.
There is a huge leisure class funded by taxpayers who will work every two years to commit election fraud.
What they’re not saying is the fact that voters can go to a polling place and surrender their ballots, then vote in person.
That’s what I’m doing.
Either way, I’m seriesly considering contacting those guys who initiated the recall elections last year, and asking for tips.
The librats blow their loads funding elections. I doubt they could handle multiple recall defense funding.
“””..Democraps got all day to do that usually because A. They’re trust fund kids or B. They live off welfare.”””
Of, they get paid to be “activists” by a myriad of subversive groups.
Much better to just roll over and surrender - why come out and participate in FR unless bitching and moaning is the real goal?
Jail?
I’d settle for skinned alive.
Be a hell of a deterrent.
And much of the money coming from Georgy Schwartz.
Colorado was lost when they legalized dope. Now all you’ll get are dopes electing more dopes..
<><> Colorado Republican State Sen Ted Harvey: "they’re getting seven absentees to a household. Children who registered at 18, now 30 years old and living elsewhere, have active voting status; election clerk and recorders are required to send them ballots.....If Mommy and Daddy want to commit felonies and forgeries, they could fill in the kids' absentee.”
<><>Another potential nightmare: "Democrat armies engaged in ‘ballot harvesting’---ranges from perfectly legal campaigning, to pressure tactics, to undue influence, to intimidation, to forgery of ballots..... and everything in between.
<><>James O’Keefe of Project Veritas videoed the racist Greenpeace explaining where to glean discarded absentees....“lower class ghettos... North Aurora is a lot of people who don’t care.”
<><> A "Work for Progress" operative, a nonprofit touting Udall, tells O’Keefe to harness the discarded absentees. “That’s not even, like, lying and stealing,” she casually says. “If someone throws out a ballot, like, if you want to fill it out, you should do it.”..... failing to add this would be a felony compounded by forgery

HERE'S A COUPLE WAYS TO STOP THEM IN THEIR
TRACKS---and to let them know you know what's going on.
<><>Iowa’s Joni Ernst filed open records requests this week with at least five Iowa counties, seeking materials that include training manuals, satellite voting locations, names of precinct ballot counters, recount procedures and any communications sent to her competitor, U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley.
Joni's at the mercy of the Michelle Obama campaign visit screw-up---the Democrat can't afford to lose b/c Michelle will be in deep doo-doo. Recent polls show a neck and neck, with Ernst having a slight lead. If the margin of victory is thin or the results uncertain after the Nov. 4 election, a recount may be requested.
A public records request from a political candidate isn’t unusual, but the volume of materials Ernst’s campaign is seeking in five ays right before an election isn’t typical, several auditors said.Iowa Code Section 22 allows public records custodians a “good faith, reasonable delay” in providing records if they’re trying to figure out whether the documents are confidential, but the delay shouldn’t exceed 10 business days.
<><><> The National Republican Senatorial Committee sent a letter to the Iowa Secretary of State’s Office Oct. 6 seeking election materials that included voting instructions, satellite polling locations, names of ballot counters, recount rules and any materials sent to Braley’s campaign. NRSC general counsel Megan Soward, who signed the Oct. 6 letter, did not return a phone call Wednesday.
The director of elections for the Iowa Secretary of State which oversees voting irregularities..., replied to Soward with links to state election training materials and information about satellite polling locations.
The state had not received any open records requests from Democrat Braley or his sponsors.
==============================================
ITS THE 21st CENTURY--EMPLOY THE DEFINITIVE CRIME-FIGHTING TOOLS ---DNA tests and harvesting of fingerprints on a sampling/percentage of absentees could determine if forgery was committed... would throw the MO into question, and possibly negate the entire absentee fraud.
Because Republicans work while Democraps don’t.
Although my immediate family was neither one I was raised what you might call across the tracks with the democrats, either ignorant or crooked.
Voting ain’t gonna fix what’s wrong with this country.
The writing is on the wall.
And the republican leadership for rolling over and playing dead. Where are the lawsuits? The Congressional hearings? Where are the poll watchers as the ballots are counted?
They only want to fight if a conservative candidate wins in a primary. It’s time to dump Karl’s don’t fight for anything,don’t say anything,it’s all about working with the other party and being part of the process strategy.
unless and until voting requires biometrics, this will happen. Why is it that Republicans want more verifiable voting methods and the Dems want a free for all?
We are officially a third world country. Prepare accordingly
What a Loser you are
