Hi all. First post.
It's funny, I hear people like Tim Pool talking about getting ballots he didn't request, but so far I've never seen it firsthand, for me or any friends. That is, until last week.
I've owned my house for almost a decade now, and have always gotten occasional junk for the previous residents. Well, as of last week, that now includes ballots. I showed them to some friends and said look, this is what I've been talking about! Some said "yeah BUT" and listed off random talking points, mostly that the signature wouldn't match.
They're right, it wouldn't match. I have no idea what their signatures look like. Except oh wait, yes I do. They're on all of the documentation from when they sold me the house. It'd be trivial to just trace their signature when signing the ballots. It's not like they have forensic experts checking these sigs, it's probably just someone giving a cursory glance.
I called my voting registration office and informed them about this and requested that they remove these people from the register from this address and district. But I can't be the only person in a situation like this, and if I was a scumbag, how easy would it have been to try and steal their votes?
This mail-in garbage is going to be a complete mess. Just thought I'd share my little story. This stuff is 100% happening.
I think people should be forwarding all these ballots to the Trump campaign, with information noted on them as to who actually lives at the address and for how long. If they don't have an office set up to handle this, they should do so immediately. They need hard evidence of the huge scope of the problem. It will really help maintain calm right after election day, as the expected drawn-out counting process plays out.
What state?
I am in Florida. I received two ballot requests for the couple who owned my house 10 years ago. I also received one for the original owner who last lived here 20 years ago. Strangely, my wife and I didn’t receive any for us. Not sure if it matters, but I am in a completely deep red district too.
Fill 'em out. Send 'em in.
