Ballot Harvesting
HR 1, Nancy Pelosi’s 1st submission to the House in 2019, allows for ballot harvesting. What is ballot harvesting? Ballot harvesting is the collection and submission of absentee or mail-in ballots by people who are not the voters themselves. The indiscriminate use of this practice is outlawed in most states and developed countries. This is because of its susceptibility to election fraud.
California changed its rules before the 2018 election to allow persons other than close family members to collect and submit ballots. Large, last-minute submissions of votes in the election delayed results and altered the outcome of several elections from the outcome indicated by initial results. In all cases the elections were eventually won by Democrats. This reminds one of the old mayor of Chicago who used to ask, “How many votes do you need?”
