Ballot Harvesting: The Newest Way to Steal an Election

I was initially puzzled when I read that Republican candidates in Kalifornia had been unseated by a process known as "ballot harvesting."  What on earth?  Apparently it caught a number of people by surprise because the methods used by ballot harvesters are just now coming out.  Scott Morefield has an article on the practice over at Townhall.com entitled 'Ballot Harvesting,' California Dems' Latest Election Stealing Tool. From the sound of it, no doubt Brenda Snipes wishes she could have had such a tool at her disposal in Broward County, Florida. Morefield talks about the various ways that Democrats can steal votes with this new system. To fully understand the quote, however, it helps if you first view an example of "ballot harvesting" being accomplished by a young woman calling herself Lulu:

Imagine the ramifications, or the ‘possibilities’ if you’re a Dem. What happens if, for example, Lulu’s next house visit has a “Make America Great Again” flag planted in the front yard? Could Lulu go there, pretend to be a Republican, then toss the completed ballot in the trash on the way to Ben & Jerry’s? Of course she could, and the likelihood of getting caught would be next to zero. Could she then go to someone’s home who had no intention of voting, then ‘convince’ them to vote Democrat and give their ballot to her or else their next social security check won’t be coming? Again, yes she could.

Or maybe a union boss asks the folks under his charge to become permanent “vote-by-mail” voters so, you know, he can keep them ‘informed’ on the issues. Or maybe a partisan nursing home administrator ‘helpfully’ collects the ballots of her residents only to shred those from all the guys wearing the Vietnam Veteran hats.

I could go on and on, but you get the point. It’s not that voting should be difficult, but at the same time it should be secret, transparent, and require a basic investment in time, becoming informed, and properly identifying oneself as an American citizen eligible for the right. The numerous ways California has sought to make the electoral process the ease-equivalent of an America’s Got Talent contest has opened the door to endless forms of fraud.

Please go read the entire article. Then go to the American Thinker, where you can also read a post by Monica Showalter entitled The Stomach Turning Ballot Harvesting That Enabled Democrats to Walk Off with California Note that this makes California a total one party state. Republicans need not even bother voting, unless they are willing to use the same tactics as Democrats.  Then it will become a race to see which party can deliver the most harvested ballots.  This is not democracy, this is straight anarchy.  Ballot harvesting takes away the one person has one vote idea (which they may exercise, or not.  Not exercising your vote is a vote nonetheless.)

You can expect the same practices to come to a State near you as soon as Democrats get control of a legislature in your State.  Even if they can't get control of a legislature, expect them to use the courts where possible to shift the balance their way, as they have used the courts to constantly tear down North Carolina's Voter ID laws.  Indeed, they attempted to sneak a Democrat on the ballot this time as a Republican in the Supreme Court race.  There seems to be no perfidy too low for these guys.
