What could go wrong? Volunteers go door-to-door ‘ballot harvesting’ in Colorado
Washington Times ^ | October 22, 2014 | Valerie Richardson

DENVER — It’s harvest time in Colorado, and not just for pumpkins. Concerns are running high over door-to-door campaign workers asking voters for their mail-in ballots in what is known as “ballot harvesting.”

Now that all-mail voting is the law of the land in Colorado, the challenge for campaigns is to persuade voters to drop off or mail in their ballots — or hand them to the foot soldiers who turn up on their doorsteps offering to do it for them.....

[snip]

.....“I guarantee you right now if you went to an apartment complex anywhere in Colorado, you would find ballots in the trash can,” Mr. Harvey said. “If you went to the Highlands Ranch post office right now, where they have P.O. boxes, you would find a ton of ballots in the trash can. You and I could go there, and we could pick up those ballots, and we could vote. That concerns me greatly.”

Sounds like an opportunity to follow and film some of these harvesters and see what they do with the ballots.

Sounds like some high-res scanners and printers are going to be going into overdrive between now and election day. This method is fraught with fraud risk.

This has the potential to be worse than unions’ card check elections.

I’m sure they would never “correct” any of the ballots they collect.

Iirc, whether someone voted is a public record.

If the GOP, or one of the Conservative activist organizations, were smart, after the election they’d compare the last several cycles worth of voting patterns, identify people who possibly had ballots cast for them, and do a lot of post-election outreach to determine whether they actually voted or not.

Voter fraud is VERY expensive and the costs go up every year. The cost gets worse as the grifters feel the Democrats aren’t coming through with enough money after the election. Eventually, this deck of cards is going to collapse.

It is so expensive, they can’t afford to do House races.

My Democrat friends claim voter fraud doesn’t happen but they know it does happen.

--stuff such as this is why I feel that the Demotraitors will retain control of the Senate-

-since the ink has been dry on on the available ballots , the Demos have had their helpers (union, teachers, the welfare queens, etc.) out "harvesting " votes--with no Rebublidum response---

If the CO GOP is not on the ball, this election will be stolen for Udall.

Mail in voting is the biggest invitation to voter fraud there is. What is stopping a boss, union leader or anyone else requiring the voter to show them their ballot before mailing it in or else? There’s a reason we have secret ballots in this country.

Motor voter, vote by mail, early voting, same day registration, and other schemes mean the GOP is at an automatic 5-7% fraud disadvantage.

Which is why we should surrender our ballots when we go vote in person after showing mandated photo ID.

They don’t have to .. they just print out a new ballot and fill it out the way they want.

Megyn did a long segment on it last night. I hope she will continue to investigate this coming nightmare.

This is a NATIONAL problem. The dems are determined to get total control of this country and run it into the ground.

I hope America’s ready to defend their country from these bullies.

Knock and Drag has been the Democrats’ tactic of sending goons into neighborhoods to visit the same homes several times on election day (with a van and smokes) to intimidate citizens to vote or defend “just why” they can’t go to the poll “today”.

Now they don’t even need to drag you to the poll (with or without chains), they just need a ballot (filled out properly of course).

If they take a piece of US mail and fail to deliver it to a post office that would be a federal crime.
