Warning - Fake Democrats at Your Door

I just got this email from my local district Democrats:

“We have been informed there are people claiming to be Democrats going door to door in our district, offering to take people's ballots and turn them in. Please be aware that THIS IS A SCAM. There are NO Democrats from the ADP, MCDP, or LD12 Democrats knocking on doors to collect ballots. Don't fall for this illegal deception. The authorities are being informed.

Return your early ballot by mailing it back, dropping it in a ballot collection box, or going to a voting center. Everything you need to know about voting and returning your ballot can be found at https://elections.maricopa.gov/.

Pro tip for AZ Dem voters: the armed people are hovering over ballot drop off boxes. They can’t harass people at every single mailbox. You can set up text notifications that your ballot has been received, signature checked, and counted. Don’t let assholes steal your vote.

Hello Arizona from KS, found above posted elsewhere and I felt it should be in the Arizona forum. Original post was from
quebedox who joined today and I assume is from Maricopa country. So go to above link and give them a DU welcome.

When I worked on my congressman's campaigns, I had a lot of senior citizen neighborhoods (and one senior apartment building, offered them rides to the polls) and quite a few said they'd already voted, they could easily hand their absentee ballot to what they thought was a campaign worker.

In AZ it's illegal to "harvest" ballots. Only close relatives or caregiver. It's a felony.

Call the cops and tell them felony activity is taking place !
