Have no idea of the veracity of this.
Definitely worth looking into, though.
“If you get a mail in ballot for the November election, do not destroy it or throw it away. If you do and you go to vote, they will assume you’ve already voted because they have a record that you got a mail-in ballot. Then you will not be allowed to vote on election day. You must bring the mail-in ballot with you. Otherwise you will not get to vote. Technically you will get to vote but you’ll have to go downtown to the courthouse and go through all kinds of hoops to get your vote counted, which probably almost no one will do. This is part of the conspiracy for voter fraud. The Dems are going to make sure that a lot of ballots are mailed to a lot of Democrats and a lot to Republicans and they’re going to count on Republicans not knowing what to do because this isn’t what they do. The Republicans will probably throw their ballots away and then they won’t be able to vote. This is not a rumor, this is true.”
That was how it was here in Nevada for the primary. Present you mail in ballot and they sealed it up and dumped it into a bin for turned in mail in ballots. They told me that there was a process if you did not have your mail in ballot.
ReplyDeleteIs there no end to perfidy by the Demonrats? Some day, soon perhaps, there is going to be a reckoning the likes of which has never been seen.

We received an application for a mail-in ballot; not an actual ballot, and we did throw it away. My polling place is a church right on the other side of the interstate; no rea
ReplyDeleteson not to go in person. Anyone think it might be a good idea to snap a photo of your vote?

Good idea about snapping the photo, but here in Shelby County Tennessee, cameras as well as firearms are prohibited in polling places.
DeleteFor my Tennessee buds, are firearms ("weapons") banned in your polling places as well? I've got a suspicion this is a Democrat-dominated county thing.
Here in Georgia we're not supposed to have cell phones powered up in voting building, so if you want picture, you'd need a true camera. I doubt that will fly.
DeleteIn most states taking a picture of a ballot is illegal because there are identifying marks/barcodes to prevent counterfeit ballots being produced.
DeleteSample ballots don't have the identifiers.
I was a chief election judge in NC. Then that asshat lib cooper was elected governor.
It the case described, you could still vote, but your vote would be "provisional" meaning someone in the registrar's office would need to check to make sure your mail-in ballot wasn't received and you are not voting twice. Best thing to do if you receive a mail-in ballot is go ahead and use it to record your vote, then take the ballot to your polling place and drop it in the box.
ReplyDeleteWe may have already received a receipt for mail in vote - I don't think we threw it away. It wasn't even opened to tell the truth. We intend to vote in person during early election. If someone intends to throw it away, it will be from that. The poling place is aprroximately two miles away from our front door and COVID doesn't skeer me. :^)
ReplyDeleteMy rules state:
ReplyDelete"Once we have sent you a Mail Ballot, you will be placed on the WHO VOTED LIST. The Who Voted List is a voter fraud prevention measure on our end. This means, unless you take your Mail Ballot with you and surrender it to the judges – either at Early Voting or on Election Day at your polling place – you will be required to vote a Provisional Ballot. Once the Provisional Ballot comes back to our office and is researched, when we can confirm that you didn't vote any other way, the Provisional Ballot will be accepted.
"If a voter takes their Mail Ballot with them and surrenders it to Election Judges, the voter will be able to cast a ballot at the polling place with no problem at all.
"Mail Voting can be a backup plan for voters. You are not excluded from voting in-person just because you signed up to Vote By Mail."
You have to REQUEST a Mail Ballot, but if you do then you are committed to either using it or bringing it to the polling place.
I really don't see the issue with voting in person. If you go to the grocery store or Walmart or any number of other public places with any kind of regularity, the risk, even for older people, like me, voting in person presents the same kind of risk, which, IMHO, is pretty minimal. Bring your own black ink pen or sharpie to mark your ballot. If you are required to show ID, DO NOT let the list checker touch your ID. Go early, if you can. It'll be less crowded and, more importantly, LESS CONTAMINATED.

We received an application for an absentee ballot in the mail, unsolicited. Not the same thing as a mail in ballot, though. I'll be voting in person. My voting site is just across the highway from me.
