Cleaning Up The Voter Rolls

[SamSpade]

That's not even remotely what I said. I said I would be okay with ID plus proof of residency for registering to vote/voting. You said IF they bother to verify, and my response about verifying the ID/documents was that it probably doesn't matter since just having something would be a big enough hurdle to stop large scale cheating.

The whole not having ID at all thing was your own tangent about the way things are currently run and has nothing to do with the hypothetical we were talking about (clearing voting roles every year and reregistering).

Then - I guess - I REALLY don’t understand what we’re discussing. I suppose it’s a small difference between a poll worker who is required to check ID - and doesn’t - and asking for ID but not really bothering to verify. That’s what happened with my sister. Someone presented ID claiming to be her, and clearly no one checked. Since she didn’t avail herself for early voting - she got beat.

I don’t know how large scale cheating goes. I suspect it doesn’t happen with lots of people with mass produced fake IDs. I do suspect it is much easier to simply identify places where the poll worker isn’t doing their job.

And it still wouldn’t surprise me if the person who stole her vote merely gave her name and the poll worker just checked it off. You don’t even have to mass produce fake IDs. Just find a place where the workers don’t bother (but should) - find that place - and send everyone THERE.

All the poll worker may request is name, address, and date of birth unless there is a note in the poll book.

Don't have a problem with bussing voters to the poll, just want all those who vote are eligible under the state constitution.

I don't recall showing my DL the two times that I registered in Md, much less show any form of ID to vote.

Maybe the disconnect is on the term "verify". If you mean look the person in the face and see if they look like the person in the photo (the same way the guy at the liquor store verifies you are who you say you are) then yes, they should verify. What I meant is that they don't need to be connected to the state MVA to run your ID and cross-reference it with your address or however other method they would actually verify that the ID is real and current.

So mine (ours) came a few days ago. Mine, Thing1 and Thing2 (he has a new home address, which I know he changed with them, but apparently, the Election Board has not updated their records.)

Here's a picture of what I received - MINE AND also one for someone who lives on Adelina Road! I'll be notifying the Election Board today.

See, perfect pickings for ballot harvesting.

See, perfect pickings for ballot harvesting.

Exactly! I already emailed it out to the election board and I included my one of my county commissioners!

They need to address door to door ballot harvesting and make it a crime.

They need to address door to door ballot harvesting and make it a crime.

Why? MD Dems don't see any problem with it.

 

[my-thyme]

Why? MD Dems don't see any problem with it.

I said they "need to", not that they ever would. I know in MD, it's considered totally acceptable.

I said they "need to", not that they ever would. I know in MD, it's considered totally acceptable.

Dems have this idea that THEIR opinions and ideas have broader support than is believed - they just need to get votes from people who don't plan to get their asses to the polls.

It's a sad situation because in any given election - even with early voting and mail-in ballots - we still have greater than 30% of the population not voting - and it's usually worse. Mostly - they just - don't - bother. Dems see that as a voter without a voice and they're going to go get it.

But in truth, I don't trust a stranger to carry my vote to the polls any more than I trust a stranger to take my checks or cash to - well, anywhere.

For the same reason, I don't trust ballot harvesters, either.

Stunning Evidence of Voter Fraud Comes to Light After Statewide Investigation in Michigan

Police reports show a month before the 2020 election, a Muskegon, Michigan city clerk noticed a woman dropping off thousands of completed voter registration applications.

The clerk told police that many of the applications appeared to have the same handwriting as if one person had filled them all out, and addresses on multiple forms were invalid or nonexistent.

Phone numbers on the forms were fake, and signatures did not match those on the file with the secretary of state.

The woman who dropped off the stacks of ballot applications told police she worked for the Democrat-funded GBI Strategies and was being paid weekly to find unregistered voters and get them registered.

Hmm, seems as if door to door harvesting does have some protections as the "agent" must be designated in a written request -

§ 9-307. Use of an agent in absentee ballot process.
(a) A qualified applicant may designate a duly authorized agent to pick up and deliver an absentee ballot under this subtitle.
(b) An agent of the voter under this section:
(1) must be at least 18 years old;
(2) may not be a candidate on that ballot;
(3) shall be designated in a writing signed by the voter under penalty of perjury; and
(4) shall execute an affidavit under penalty of perjury that the ballot was:
(i) delivered to the voter who submitted the application;
(ii) marked and placed in an envelope by the voter, or with assistance as allowed by regulation, in the agent’s presence; and
(iii) returned to the local board by the agent.

The SCOTUS's refusal to even hear Trumps case stating there were many suspiciousGovernment things happening in the 2020 election left us with this senile old Government teat sucker we have now.
