North Carolina: Absentee Voters Given 'Unprecedented' Pre-Election Warning In County Of Fraud Probe

Voters who requested mail-in ballots in the county that is now ground zero of a North Carolina election fraud investigation received mailers from election officials in the days before the election reminding them of the proper procedures for absentee ballots.

The mailer, titled “Absentee Voters: Know Your Rights,” informed voters that only the voters themselves or their close relatives could turn in mail-in ballots. It also gave them a number to call if someone else turned in their ballots, as well as for if someone else filled out their ballot or if they wanted to check on their ballot’s status.

“Elections officials will never come to your house to pick up your absentee ballot or tell you how to vote,” the mailer says in all caps. Absentee ballot recipients in the county have told reporters that they were approached by people who they thought were election officials offering to turn in their ballots.


...the mailers, which only went to absentee voter applicants in Bladen County and were sent between October 29 and November 2.

I think the pre-mailing was to flush out who the absentee voters were. It was how they pulled up that data base to target them.
