Christmas is offensive to people that don’t believe in Santa Claus
If Christmas offends you then you’re a hateful bigot.

But we know the left is full of those anyway
Yep, and then they are ok with Ballot Harvesting because its "now legal" but ignore fact that an extra way to stack the cards for one side. Fraud is now legal! HARK!
Non sequitur much?

And in N Carolina ballot harvesting is illegal.
Democrats in 2016 decided that elections were an obstacle to their agenda.

Already happened in Venezuela. Turned out really well for them.

lol, don't worry you didn't burst anything. Maybe you should read the actual articles, there are plenty of them out there. Mueller lays it all out so there is no reason for you to be making ***up.

Uhh, wut? Yeah, if it's so easy, go ahead and quote Mueller saying that there was Trump-Russia collusion. I'll wait.

duh and/or hello.... we only win when you guys don't bother to show up to the polls.

dems have had a numerical superiority since 1960... however sheer apathy has prevailed since then more often then not.

Californias Ballot harvesting is unconstitutional.

It sets up two groups of voters. One group that votes on election day, and another that gets to choose if they want to vote on election day or after when the final score is already known.

The second groups votes count far more than the first.

lol, source? That's not what ballot harvesting is, at all. Where did you read that, infowars?

Actual law: (a) All vote by mail ballots cast under this division shall be voted on or before the day of the election. After marking the ballot, the vote by mail voter shall do any of the following: (1) return the ballot by mail or in person to the elections official from whom it came, (2) return the ballot in person to a member of a precinct board at a polling place within the jurisdiction, or (3) return the ballot to the elections official from whom it came at a vote by mail ballot drop-off location, if provided pursuant to Section 3025. However, a vote by mail voter who is unable to return the ballot may designate any person to return the ballot to the elections official from whom it came or to the precinct board at a polling place within the jurisdiction. The ballot must, however, be received by either the elections official from whom it came or the precinct board before the close of the polls on election day.

And done.

Have you seen the excuses they are trying? Oh yeah, election fraud occurred to the point that someone is going to be indicted and convicted because of it, but we don't think it impacted the vote totals. Our guy still would have won. And uh, don't pay attention to the primary results, where our guy won 90% of the total absentee ballot, that's not shady at all!

They could end up restarting the entire election, back to the primary, where the incumbent lost (due to election fraud). He could conceivably (and likely, would) win the primary and be on the ballot for the new election.

An actually good idea from China.

Look after your pet or get discredited: Chinese city plans to link the behaviour of dogs with their owners' social credit scores


Other than the social credit bit.

A group critiqued the new harvesting law before they passed it.

Quote:
“AB 1921 would allow anybody to walk into an elections office and hand over truckloads of vote by mail envelopes with ballots inside, no questions asked, no verified records kept. It amounts to an open invitation to large-scale vote buying, voter coercion, “granny farming”, and automated forgery. AB 1921 solves no problem that a simple stamp can’t solve.”

Of course people are voting after the election, theres no process to verify they can’t. Orange county had like 120% turnout. They just keep “finding” and “counting” until they overturn the results, and they were doing that for weeks after the election.

This isn't a source, its an opinion. Nobody voted after the polls closed, every vote cast was cast on election day. Its just another one of your easily debunked conspiracy theories. You crying about ballot harvesting doesn't make it unconstitutional. And nobody cares about Venezuela.

Yeah Nik, you're right. Lets go with this then, every ballot was turned in by the time polls closed on election day. There is no evidence to suggest ballots were turned in Wednesday or after. There aren't even any allegations of this occurring.

Also, Orange County did not have 120% turnout, just another nausi conspiracy.

Local newspaper breaks down election

Quote:
High turnout
This year’s contest saw Orange County have its highest proportional voter turnout of any midterm contest since 1970 – the election that followed President Richard Nixon’s inauguration, when the nation was embroiled in the Vietnam War.
In all, 71 percent of the county’s registered voters cast ballots this cycle, seemingly driven by the region’s four hypercompetitive House contests where Democrats flipped GOP-held seats. That’s an exceptionally high turnout for midterms, which often draw significantly less attention than presidential elections. The level of participation this cycle was actually higher than in the 2012 election, when 67 percent of the county’s registered voters cast ballots. It also dwarfs the 2014 midterm when only 45 percent of registered voters turned out.

You got to cut him some slack here clearly he’s conflating 120% increase with a total of 120%.

Even when the math isn’t there:

2016 v 2018 = (120*67)/100=80.4%

When really the reported data reflects: (107*67)/100=71.69%
