Democrat Primary: Arrests Made in Illegal Ballot Harvesting Scheme
Breitbart ^ | September 25, 2020 | Simon Kent

Posted on 09/26/2020 6:26:17 AM PDT by Twotone

Texas law enforcement officials arrested four individuals Thursday for their alleged involvement in an illegal ballot harvesting scheme in the state’s 2018 Democrat primary election. Among those apprehended and facing some of the 134 felony voter fraud charges was the Democrat who claimed the primary race.

“The four individuals—Charlie Burns, Dewayne Ward, Marlena Jackson and Jackson’s husband Shannon Brown, a Democrat who was serving as Gregg County’s Precinct 4 commissioner—collectively stand accused of 134 different felony charges of election fraud and ballot tampering,” Newsweek reported. “If found guilty, each individual could face six months in jail to 99 years in prison.”

The charge list against the individuals was long and inclusive. It included engaging in organized election fraud, illegal voting, fraudulent use of an application for a mail-in ballot, unlawful possession of a mail-in ballot, tampering with a governmental record, and election fraud.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton used an official statement to caution that mail ballots are “vulnerable to diversion, coercion, and influence by organized vote harvesting schemes.” He said:

It is an unfortunate reality that elections can be stolen outright by mail ballot fraud. Election fraud, particularly an organized mail ballot fraud scheme orchestrated by political operatives, is an affront to democracy and results in voter disenfranchisement and corruption at the highest level.

Mail ballots are vulnerable to diversion, coercion, and influence by organized vote harvesting schemes. This case demonstrates my commitment to ensuring Texas has the most secure elections in the country, and I thank the Gregg County Sheriff and District Attorney for their continued partnership. Those who try to manipulate the outcome of elections in Texas must be held accountable.

I posted on Newsweek that this is IDENTITY THEFT, since this line is in the article:

“The accused submitted these ballots without the voters’ consent, Paxton said.”

I called for revocation of ALL professional licenses to the guilty if convicted and Newsweek FLAGGED IT for review!!!

I consider election tampering as a treasonous crime and should be treated as such

Damn right!

Which is why these people need to kick up their game from two years to 2 weeks or less.

So the election has already been tainted and INVALIDATED by early EVIDENCE of more than a few instances of FRAUD.
The election should be rescheduled with everyone going to the POLLS just like they go to WalMart! There is NO JUSTIFICATION for mail in ballots now.
Including in Oregon!
