MaidenGate sounds fishy because votes are being used with maiden names, right? Not that someone’s falsely registering using maiden identity, just that the old name and address are still on the voter rolls.
Well anyone who has ever moved to a new county has moved from one county board of elections to another. You need to quadruple check that your old county has purged you from their voter rolls, or they won’t.
We all saw the pics of the mailboxes with multiple ballots going to one mailbox based on old data.
But how can you weaponize this in non-mandatory mail-in states? How can this swing a battleground state?
Data + paid fraudsters “community organizers.”
Both parties and third party non-partisan vendors invest heavily in data, and every competitive campaign buys that data to use for targeted voter contact.
Campaigns cost time and money, and you want ROI for that mailer or door knocking operation, right? So data is filtered. Did you vote in 4/4 last elections? Yeah, I want to talk to you before I potentially waste my time/money on a 1/4 voter. Not that that voter isn’t going to vote, you just prioritize high propensity voters.
Well you also want to target reliable households. It’s no good sending mail to someone who moved a year ago.
So... databases or data purchases EXCLUDE movers, bc of potential reliability. I want to mail someone who has A) reliably voted and B) I know their life is stable to where they are still living there.
Okay, why does this matter, and why have I wasted your time on all this?
If you can filter OUT all movers, you can filter ONLY movers.
So output a list of 1/4-4/4 voters who have moved.
Have the previous cycle’s voter file? Well you have the ability to query for name and age matches. In states with registered parties, that can be added to the filter as well.
Obviously this is more difficult say if they moved from NYC to Nebraska, because you’d have to buy each state’s data.
But if you have paid fraudsters “community organizers,” they can spend the man hours combing lists, requesting ballots to old mailboxes and snipe the ballots at the box.
Hell the postman knows these names aren’t the current resident, but the inventory of ghost ballots is dropped off anyways.
People keep wondering how this is possible on a widespread scale. Now you know How it could be used in a battleground state.
I wonder how many postal workers were collecting the ghost ballots and delivering them to be filled out by others.
orangeManBad, so it can’t be illegal, right?
