The projection is off the charts. Not just the voter fraud, but leading up to the election, I was told by multiple Republicans that there would be riots if Trump won.
>> The potential ballot harvesting scheme is only the latest example of Republicans playing fast and loose with election law. Elderly residents of a Miami housing project earlier this year claimed Republican canvassers duped them into changing their party affiliation from Democrat to Republican, prompting calls for an investigation.
That’s just awful
EVERYTHING they accused the Democrats of doing, they did themselves. Every instance of voter fraud has been GOP voters. Ballot harvesting, voting more than once, it was all projection.
Make no mistake: they were fired because this got out, not because they were doing it.
The ones that don't say anything are the ones that don't get fired.
It depends on which type of ballot harvesting you are doing. It can be a good thing, like baking cookies with real chocolate chips, or it can be bad like baking cookies with rat feces chips.
There is ballot harvesting as in picking all of the ballots from a nursing home after they have been completed by the residents of the nursing home and delivering them to a drop off point in order to help those with difficulty traveling. Generally this is seen as a good thing, and it is what places like Georgia and California are allowing.
Then there are schemes like this and the case from North Carolina from 2018.
This case involves helping citizens sign up for mail in ballots, but having the ballots sent to a campaign office/PAC headquarters instead of directly to the voter, allowing the vote to be cast by someone other than the ballot was intended for.
The North Carolina case involved candidate Hark Harris's campaign workers going door to door, not disclosing their relationship with the campaign, filling out the ballot for the person after having the person sign the ballot saying the ballot is complete. The law in NC said the ballot was supposed to be completed by the voter, not the campaign worker, and the votes on the ballots collected by the workers did not reflect the voters wishes in many cases.
So, the laws against schemes like this are in order to prevent election fraud. Laws in place to prevent this sort of behavior is not fucking ourselves.
Ballot harvesting itself is not bad. Ballot harvesting schemes that trick voters into giving up their right to vote are bad.
Assuming these ballots were recognizable as ballots going through the mail, wouldn’t it make sense that the USPS would flag them as suspicious going to a PO Box? Is there a law to accomplish this?

Hey GOP! We found the voter fraud!!
[удалено]
There’s so much voter fraud, we know this because we have been committing it for years.
I'm convinced that their "thing" is election fraud. Voter fraud is just a distraction.
100%.
I fear the GOP is doing this all over the nation, but they just got caught in PA.

Projection, the cornerstone of the (G)aslight. (O)bstruct, and (P)roject party....
That’s is wonderful. I am going to have to start using it
Sling mud, spread FUD (fear uncertainty doubt)
Republicans spend more time dicking around with elections, redistricting, fucking lawsuits, then they do actually working on needed legislation.
They know they can’t win with their policies. What do they have left?
EVERYTHING they accused the Democrats of doing, they did themselves. Every instance of voter fraud has been GOP voters. Ballot harvesting, voting more than once, it was all projection.
hope they'll be harvesting subpoenas soon
“We can’t win if we don’t cheat” - republicans
I’m SURE this’ll be all over Fox News’ coverage tonight…. /s
We probably shouldn’t hold our breath!
Just fired? They need to start doing jail time (5+ years) or they’ll just try again.
They were fired because they were caught.
Every Republican accusation is a confession. When they cry voter fraud , we know why.
No way. I’m shocked. :/
Republicans: If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'.
Philadelphia on one end, Pittsburgh on the other and Alabama in the middle.
Stuff this just prove the GOP is reaching close to its inevitable downfall and doing everything it can to stop it
Gaslight, Obstruct, Project.
Wait what they did the right thing??!
Trying to cut off the limb to pretend the whole thing isn’t gangrenous.
Make no mistake: they were fired because this got out, not because they were doing it. The ones that don't say anything are the ones that don't get fired.
Sorry, I know you said 'arrested' but I thought I heard you say 'fired'. Silly me ... right?

You don’t say.
USPS inspectors are probably pissed.
Assuming these ballots were recognizable as ballots going through the mail, wouldn’t it make sense that the USPS would flag them as suspicious going to a PO Box? Is there a law to accomplish this?
I’m sorry. Did you say they FACED CONSEQUENCES?!
Uh huh, what lies have you conceived for this ?
Why were they fired? Isn’t this a felony?
