The Post has more detail on those allegations today, and theyre absolutely shocking. From the Post:
The board is collecting sworn statements from voters in rural Bladen County, near the South Carolina border, who described people coming to their doors and urging them to hand over their absentee ballots, sometimes without filling them out. Others described receiving absentee ballots by mail that they had not requested. It is illegal to take someone elses ballot and turn it in.
Among the allegations is that an individual who worked for the Harris campaign coordinated the effort to fill in, or discard, the ballots of Democratic voters who might have otherwise voted for McCready. Several of the affidavits come from elderly African-American voters.
What... the fuck. If these allegations are true, this is about as blatant as election tampering can get. Political operatives coming to the doors of elderly black voters and telling them to hand over their ballots, then discarding them if they were voting Democrat or filling them out for the Republican? Absolutely wild, and despicable.

(767 posts)6. ROLL OUT THE PROOF
I would like to read about the PROOF and get to the bottom of this issue. I realize there are places in this country where this could occur because there are many uneducated people living in the USA who can be FOOLED. I know about the voter suppression. Stealing votes is an argument which will continue until BETTER security is established to prevent this crime. I also suspect criminals will prevent better security because criminals want to continue to STEAL an election in the future........DAMN REPUBLICAN THUGS.....
