STOCKTON -- Cheaters walking door to door ahead of Election Day have tried illegally to collect voters' completed absentee ballots, San Joaquin County Registrar of Voters Deborah Hench said Thursday.

Hench called the Sheriff's Office late Wednesday to report the complaint of a man who said he declined solicitors' attempts to collect his ballot. The Sheriff's Office attempted to contact him but was unsuccessful, said Deputy Nelida Stone, a spokeswoman for the Sheriff's Office.

At least one resident has surrendered a completed ballot to a solicitor, said Lexi Penn, a volunteer walking precincts urging registered Republicans to vote.

"Somebody already came and took it," Penn said a Weston Ranch resident revealed.

I heard about this on the local radio today. Apparently, they ask your party affiliation, then ask if they can 'take care of' your absentee ballot for you.

Sigh...

1. This is IT everyone!

Get of yer asses and Do something with the few remaining days we have! Call a friend, call a sranger, anything to get these animals out of the seat of power. What will you tell your children when they ask you what you did to protect freedom? What will you say when your kids ask why we can see the air? What a tiger is? Why are the police in the LIBRARY? What will you say?
