Virginia Dems’ Ballot Harvesting Manual Instructs Going After Dead People, ‘Bad’ Addresses
The Federalist ^ | 12/9/2022 | Victoria Marshall

The Virginia Democratic Party is instructing activists to include deceased citizens and “bad” addresses when generating voter contact lists, The Federalist has learned.

A pivotal tool Virginia Dems use to target voters for their ballot harvesting and get-out-the-vote efforts is VoteBuilder, an online database of all registered voters in Virginia operated by the Virginia Democratic Party and the Democratic National Committee. In the words of the Virginia Democrats themselves, “this database contains the names and other important information about registered voters – information that we can use to target likely voters for Democratic campaigns.”

Democrat activists who use VoteBuilder can look up specific information about each registered voter and group them into likely Democrat voter outreach lists, which they then use for GOTV outreach, including phone banking and ballot harvesting.

On the Virginia Democrats’ VoteBuilder website, there are instructions for how activists can use the tool to generate voter contact lists for absentee ballot chasing, a.k.a., ballot harvesting. The website describes it as generating absentee ballot “labels,” a process which also functions to collect a list of voters’ addresses.

In the instructions on the web page, however, there are screenshots of the VoteBuilder database that show activists can generate an expanded outreach list by adding voters (under “Suppressions”) with “bad” addresses, National Change of Address forwarding addresses (residents who have moved), and even those who have died to the baseline list of active and inactive registered voters with accurate addresses. From there, activists can create lists of these voters’ phone numbers and addresses so they can contact them and collect their mail-in ballots.

hese instructions vary from another place on the Virginia Democrats’ site that appear to be tips on how to use VoteBuilder from the DNC itself, saying the “Suppressions” filters are “the automatic settings to prevent bad addresses from showing up on your lists.”

If the DNC itself is telling activists that the “Suppressions” filters are used to prevent “bad” addresses from being included in the voter contact lists, why is the Virginia Democratic Party instructing its users to include them?

“I don’t know how you can in good conscience instruct your workers to solicit votes from people in those categories,” Clara Belle Wheeler, former vice-chair of the Virginia State Board of Elections and senior fellow at the Virginia Institute for Public Policy, told The Federalist. “They’re instructing people to solicit votes from people who are not legally eligible to vote — they’ve either moved, are not a citizen of the United States, or [are] dead.”

When asked about the deceased or NCOA filters on its database, a spokesman for the Virginia Democratic Party told The Federalist they are filters to help users weed through the voter registration data and that incorrect or deceased registrants are removed. But when asked why the instructions on their website for creating voter contact lists specifically tell users to include addresses of those who have died or moved, the spokesman told The Federalist he would respond later. The Federalist has since reached out twice with no response.

Virginia Democrats are not the only Democrats who use VoteBuilder to identify and group potential Democrat voters for ballot-harvesting purposes, however. State parties across the nation use the software, all thanks to the Democratic National Committee. VoterBuilder’s parent company – and main technology provider for Democrat and other leftist campaigns — NGP VAN describes the database as a way for thousands of Democrat campaigns “to contact hundreds of millions of voters” each election cycle. On the same site, there is an entire article dedicated to ballot harvesting and scoring votes “early.”

But why are deceased voters on VoteBuilder? That depends on each state’s list maintenance (or lack thereof). Virginia Democrats have deceased or incorrect registrants in their database because they receive Virginia’s voter registration file each month — purportedly to “update” their database. Despite the state’s commitment to list maintenance, Virginia’s voter rolls contain inaccurate data: a spring mailer sent out by Fairfax County had over 72,000 undeliverables return — nearly 10 percent of their registered voter list.

“Under the National Voter Registration Act, it is the locality’s [the Virginia Department of Elections] responsibility to maintain accurate and current voter registration lists, whether they are transmitted to anybody or not,” Wheeler said. “So I guess you could say it’s not really the fault of the party if the voter file is not accurate.”

Regardless of whether or not the voter files are accurate, that Virginia Democrats are instructing its volunteers to include the dead or “bad” addresses increases the likelihood of voter fraud.

“The existence of that option, along with instructions that include soliciting dead ‘people’, would seem to be soliciting voter fraud,” former Attorney General of Virginia Ken Cuccinelli told The Federalist. “Obviously, that would be a crime, if accurate.”

Fun fact: As of 2020, Wisconsin has only 5,893,718 residents. 22.7% of that number are under 18 and not qualified to vote (about 1.338 million), so that means if every person over 18 was qualified to vote, only 4.555 million (and that would also include both unregistered and felons) would be. That means you still have 2.7 million more voters on the roles than could be qualified, that's almost 60% more (and again, even higher than that when you exclude the aforementioned unregistered and felons). Sounds like there needs to be a massive investigation into these voter rolls.

The voter rolls are controlled by "ERIC" a leftist oriented system which seems dedicated to keeping as many addresses on these lists as possible.

"ERIC" operates in 31 states.

An interesting scam
Count on Democrat to find new way to cheat

Send out a bunch of mailings
The ones that get send back get put into a database, and used as fake address for mass fraud mails.

The postal service may be in on the conspiracy

Early voting tells them how many ballots they need to harvest.

Harvesting allows them to procure the number of ballots they need.

I posted this to FascistBook, and I urge others to do the same there, on Twitter and other social media sites. Get out the news to those who deny how corrupt the Dems are, and to those who only watch (and believe) the Lamestream Media. This is being covered up massively, and if we want any chance to prevail, we have to expose the massive cheating by the Dems to the light of truth.

This is why, after my father died in June, 2012, I told my mother to make sure that he was taken off of the voting rolls. He never voted for a Dem scumbag (but I repeat myself) in his life, and I told her that I’d be damned if he was going to start now. She laughed...and made the call, followed up with a letter containing a copy of his death certificate.

“She laughed...and made the call, followed up with a letter containing a copy of his death certificate.”

That doesn’t mean anything happened at the Elections Office when they received the information. Although, he might have been changed from R to D, if anything at all.

I think voter rolls are public info. Maybe y’all can check it out in a few months.

It would make a good SNL skit if only SNL still believed in humor.

Like have group of vote harvesters chasing zombies on a TWD episode and the zombies trying to lose them. :)

Last year’s Youngkin and Sears victories look even more miraculous now. Trump might have carried Virginia in 2020 if it hadn’t been for fraud. I remember he was ahead in the first few hours after the polls closed, and the Chinese stock market was tanking because it looked like America’s champion would get a second term.

The good news is, cheating is the only path to power the Democrats have left. Demographic replacement is failing them as Asians and Latinos break sharply to the GOP. Trump’s judges have put the kibosh on Democrat judicial activism, at least for the time being. That just leaves voter fraud. Find a way to get the Donkey’s hoof off the scales, and the Democrat party must either moderate, or slowly die out like the Whigs did in the mid 1800s.
