Trump earlier this year stated that he would embrace it in states where it’s legal in order to fight back against the Democrats.

This is great news - no Republican nominee can win the general election without a serious ballot-harvesting mechanism to at least offset some of the Democrat advantage in ballot-harvesting.

Ballot harvesting is one of about a dozen ways democrats cheat. Look at Arizona governor’s race.

I bet everything that the DEMS accuse the Trump campaign of voter fraud when they try the same tricks as the Dems. Then, they will appoint a special prosecutor.

Disagree. If Trump had made even an attempt in 2020 at his own ballot harvesting, he'd probably still be in the White House. The rules changed during the pandemic - Election Day results no longer decide the outcome, instead it'll be the dumps of harvested ballots that come in after the polls close that will decide. Republicans made no attempt to counter in 2020 or 2022 - if they don't harvest their own ballots in 2024, they will lose.

You can bet the RAT judicial system will stonewall all ballot harvesting operations by the GOP while no problems with the RAT harvesting.

President Trump has made it clear that he, and his organization, only support ballot harvesting where it is already legal.

When the only way to win an election is to “out-fraud” the opposition, the Republic is already lost.

From the article, if you had bothered to read it.
"At the beginning of the year, President Trump made a major announcement that our campaign would ballot harvest in the states where it’s legal to counter the Left's schemes,"

I'm all in favor of same-day balloting, but that toothpaste is out of the tube. States have the right to set the laws under which their residents vote, and ballot-harvesting is now legal in multiple states. And I'm not in favor of saying let's have four more years of Biden because the Republic is already lost - there's plenty more to be lost under four more years of Democrat misrule.

1) Absentee voting is largely permitted. It certainly is and has been for many years permitted for military deployed outside their voting area. It also is permitted for non military similarly away. Does anyone see anything wrong with this? I don’t. State dept personnel don’t live in the voting area.

2) Absentee voting has been expanded to anyone, anywhere. This is intended to boost turnout by encouraging voting by those who are lazy or can’t get past obstacles of transport. There is nothing in the Constitution that says a person who is paralyzed . . . or lazy . . . is forbidden to vote.

3) The path to cheating is not checking and verifying ballots are sent to real people living at real addresses. If the laws of a state do not force this, there can be cheating. But simply letting lazy people vote (of both parties) is not cheating. The Constitution does not forbid it.

4) So it comes down to that. Yes, there are lazy voters and they are GOP, Dem and Independent. If the GOP does not get their lazy voter ballots collected and the Dems do, we lose. We will lose every single time, and it won’t be cheating.

5) And no, just put the Dominion stupidity out of your minds. That is not how it was done in 2020. They are getting lazy voter ballots and we are not. THAT is how it was done.

The only way to beat the post election dumps would be for the Red areas to hold their results. To do this you have to get cooperation and coordination with the Republican precincts and control the SOS office. The people in these areas are used to doing things the proper way, which the rats exploit. I just don’t see it.

Republicans aren't going to beat Democrat in ballot harvesting - but they don't need to. Republicans have the advantage in Election Day turnout. They just need to offset a fairly small percentage of the Democrat advantage in harvested ballots. In 2020 and 2022, Republicans didn't even try - the harvested ballot count was completely for the Democrats.

thought this was invaluable in outlining what practices, oversight and safeguards need to be in place, ballot harvesting aside. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/05/why_kari_lake_couldnt_close_the_deal.html

The Democrats are well on their way to steal the 2024 elections and probably the Republican answer to that will probably be “Just wait till the 2026 elections. They will be a red tsunami”.
