Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) proposes bill banning ballot harvesting for 2020 election WASHINGTON, DC- It’s hard to believe that Joe Biden was the best the Democrats could do. One candidate who was largely ignored during the Democratic primaries was Hawaii representative Tulsi Gabbard. While she did embrace a number of pretty left positions, overall she seemed one of the most reasonable out of the bunch. And this week, she showed one reason why. Along with Republican Rep. Rodney Davis (R-IL), they introduced the Election Fraud Prevention Act, an amendment to the Help America Vote Act of 2002, which would ban federal payments to states that allow ballot harvesting, according to Breitbart News. Ballot harvesting, which was credited with flipping seven House seats in California in 2018, was cleared for use this past week by a Michigan judge. The process of ballot harvesting is ripe for fraud, with political operatives being permitted to collect and deliver as many ballots as they choose. Clearly it is possible for some of these operatives to commit fraud in the process. And, while the so-called harvesters are not supposed to be paid, loopholes allow them to be paid in most cases. Rep. Gabbard noted that reform is necessary in order to ensure that special interest groups don’t corrupt the election process. In a statement, Gabbard said: “This bill protects assistance from family members, household members, and caregivers as well as election officials and mail carriers acting in their official capacity. Voters will still have assistance, if they need it, to turn in their vote, but this bill makes sure that third-party special interest groups don’t get between voters and the ballot box.” Under the proposed legislation, states would only be allowed to have election officials, mail carriers, family members, and caregivers of the voter.

DieHardBrownsFan Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 He should have picked someone with some integrity like Gabbard. He picks the most vile thing in the Senate, Harris. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
