As of June 2024:[1][2]

24 states and D.C. permitted someone chosen by the voter to return mail ballots on their behalf in most cases 15 states specified who may return ballots (i.e., household members, caregivers, and/or family members) in most cases 1 state explicitly allowed only the voter to return their ballot 10 states did not specify whether someone may return another's ballot To learn which states fall into each category, see the map below.

I saw a YouTube video the other day that alleges Illegals are being moved from state to state and reside at an NGO just long enough to get driver’s licenses - then they move on to another state.

Many states automatically register them to vote using the NGO address.

When the ballots arrive at the NGOs, they get handed off to third party interest groups “that know what to do with them”.

In this way the NGOs maintain plausible deniability.

In Connecticut, it would be illegal of me to be in possession of someone else’s ballot. Even if I’m just dropping a completed ballot in the mail. (Only an immediate family member may do that)

They have other ways to cheat when necessary

It is too late. States like California mail ballots to every registered voter. Live ballots in the mail. Anyone can fill in the ballot and return it. The commies started this in 2008 and in 2024 perfected the vote-by-mail so that they can stay in power.

Ballot harvesting is by far the most common way to cheat in elections.
Purging vote rolls and eliminating mail in votes will make the elections pretty fair.
Any kind of “helping” voters should be prohibited.
The only help acceptable is by members of bipartisan election board.

When are republicans going to smarten up and pass a law that voters need to reregister every two years. This is the best way to have clean voter rolls every election. This would be priority number one if I were in congress.

“The only help acceptable is by members of bipartisan election board.”

I can’t even imagine that happening in this day and age.

I was in charge of elections in a city starting in 1980. My Precinct Workers, Data Review Board members, Counting and Receiving Board members, etc., mostly worked in pairs — one R and one D.

Everyone got along. Everyone listened to and respected the partner’s input and suggestions — yes; even the Ds did that. It’s insane what has happened over time. AFAIK, there was no cheating, and no real opportunity for cheating as State Election Board ran a tight ship.

Only 9 states and DC send out ballots to everyone. They’re almost all blue.

-California
-Colorado
-Hawaii
-Nevada
-New Jersey
-Oregon
-Utah
-Vermont
-Washington state
-Washington, D.C.

In 2020, it was 37. You can request a mail in ballot in many other states, but they don’t just send it to you automatically.

That’s encouraging!

We need every ray of sunshine we can get these days - and not just the sunshine the Socialist Democrats are blowing up our skirts! ;)

Absolutely right. But that proposal never even gets considered.

I would erase the rolls every four years three months after the federal quadrennial election. Close registration 60 days before the next election. Everybody has to appear in person before the registrar with valid ID to register. The registrar can sent sworn agents out in the field to register shut-ins. End every voter registration drive, motor voter and all similar registration outreach activities.

All the elections would be fair and honest.

The huge effort to get voting participation rates up the past 40 years has done nothing but create rampant cheating and generate massive cynicism about our crooked elections. This is a million times worse than a few people being disenfranchised.

24 states and D.C. permitted someone chosen by the voter to return mail ballots.

24 states and D.C. handed their right to vote over to the democrat party became communists but still don’t know it.

Idiots on the march more proof of how many Biden and Harris people are blindly giving away America to democrat socialist party.

I love that idea. And you are right, even our party wouldn’t do this. I honestly think they enjoy being in the minority.

Create bloated and dirty voter rolls that can never be cleaned through automatic driver registration, automatic welfare registration, etc....

Wide use of mail-in ballots

Fund various leftist political groups and “NGOs” in “vote prep” functions

Allow ballot harvesting

That’s how states like California become a permanent one-party state

Yes, that is basically the way it should be.
Working in pairs, watching each other.
We used to have workers nominated by parties, so they were real R’s and D’s.
I worked often with pretty fanatical D, she watched my every little move. but we happen to do pretty good job.
IN AZ, they self nominate R’s and D’s and mix in I’s. This way, they could have plenty of impostors?!
I worked with one couple here, they admitted they became R and D to be able to work together. They were rather nonpartisan, but...

Also here, anybody can help anybody. So many people vote they way their “Help” tells them.
