BREAKING: GOP stealing ballots with "Victory Vans"

Sun Nov 04, 2012 at 11:53 PM PST
BREAKING: GOP stealing ballots with "Victory Vans"
by BeerNotWar

Here in King County Washington Democrats are raising a red flag calling attention to shady Replican efforts to intercept our ballots by luring voters to drop their ballots in "Victory Vans" touring the county. Washington is 100% vote-by-mail so voters fill out their ballots at home then deliver them to state dropoffs or send them in by mail. But the GOP has created special "Victory Vans" to collect ballots before they can ever reach these official delivery sites.

If you think you can trust the GOP with your ballot, I assure you, you cannot. Nobody in King County should hand their ballot to someone in a Republican "Victory Van," but should only drop off their ballot at an official state ballot collection site. This is critical for close state races such as the one for Governor where both Jay Inslee and Rob McKenna need voters in King County. Republican McKenna needs just enough Democrats in King County to vote for him, or not vote, to defeat Inslee. This, I suspect, is the Replublican game. Once they have the ballots they could be disposed of or even altered. I wish this were a completely irrational belief, but Republicans have demonstrated their unwillingeness to allow democracy to function if it won't result in a victory for their candidate. If you think I'm crazy then please explain why the hell they have vans running around in a massively Democratic county collecting ballots. Why would they spend the money to do that?

simply be stopped and impounded? Surely there are federal and state laws against tampering with votes.

Maybe the simplest solution is for someone to start following those vans and make sure that people who attempt to turn in their ballots there understand that these are not official ballot collection sites.

Democrats complain about new King County GOP’s ballot drop-off tactic
Posted by Brian M. Rosenthal
Update:

King County officials on Sunday urged voters not to hand their ballots over to strangers.
The only way to guarantee a ballot will be counted is to mail it or drop it off at an offical King County elections site, said Democratic King County Executive Dow Constantine, joined by Sherill Huff, the county’s elections director.
“We are strongly advising citizens if they want to be sure their ballot is counted, don’t hand your ballot over to someone you don’t know,” Constantine said.
Huff said she had received complaints from residents, concerned about people going door-to-door collecting ballots. The effort is part of a Republican get-out-vote push. King County Republicans have also set up 10 collection vans in suburban parts of the county.
It’s not illegal to collect ballots for delivery, Huff said. Nor is there anything wrong with giving your ballot to someone else. Church and community groups commonly collect and deliver ballots, Constantine said. The danger lies is dealing with someone you don’t know, he said.
Secretary of State Sam Reed issued a statement Sunday saying “We strongly discourage such activity, but it’s not illegal.”
Democrats mounted similar efforts in previous elections.

There's a bizarre statement.

I don't care what party someone supports, there is definately something wrong with trusting your ballot to someone in a van. Is this the same advice Republicans give to their children? "If you need a ride home, just jump in someone's van."

McKenna was Attorney General, he knows better.

But there is no level too low for losing republicans to stoop to steal an election.

I shook Jay's hand yesterday.. and I do believe he will squeak by as a winner..

If I were not a democrat, if I were not a pacifist, I would sure want to find that bus and accidentally leave a few nails behind the tire, but alas, I believe as happened when Obama was confronted with Crazy Romney lies, we win by being 'unwilling to stoop' to their thuggery.

bottom line, these rethugs are out for blood in the next 2 days,

McKenna can take that losing bus and go home.. game over... WA will stay a progressive Clean Energy state with jobs for all! with Jay inslee at the mantle...

Got three pieces that claim Inslee was stealing the pensions of firefighters and police. And some weird crap from MT that had no party affiliation, name or mailing address, just a town in MT. All GOP, Teahadist candidates, but you couldn't tell it by the mailers. And their signs are out there in the roads. Inslee is a good and honest man, and so is Kathleen Drew running for the office of elections. If they lose, we lose progressive WA.

and have you noticed that the Teahadist running against Maria Cantwell won't even call himself a Republican and mentions 'independent' in his ads but these thugs are so clear that American don't like republicans anymore they won't put it on their flyers or signs.

that's an amazing indictment of the entire GOP Party that Bush was nowhere to be found and they won't even put (R) after their name.

it's a sad state of affairs when we have elections run by anonymous people pushing violent literature costing billions we could be using to fix our schools, fix our road, upgrade our infrastructure to state of the art.

if china kicks our ass economically, its because we let the teapartiers and a very few koch brother like CEO's drive us down a path of ignominy and

I am hoping strongly that Kathleen Drew and Inslee win big and no recounts..

Would elude many voters. I looked through the entire spread on each candidate. They frame them as rational or mainstream, then you have to look at who has endorsed them. You also have to know their dogwhistles, couched in such terms as responsible, liberty, etc. Many people are so busy in their lives and unfamiliar with the memes, names and groups that are bad actors, so they don't know what's going on.

They also don't grasp the philosophy of governance behind the initiatives, and what the long-term effects will be on social cohesion, and the local school or services. Many wil be fooled, or think they are doing the right thing voting for these. They are usually Tim Eyeman = Grover Nordquist = ALEC organized petitions to sell off the commons and defund the state government so that it will be vulnerable to privateers.

I kept getting mail from the GOP governors' association in D.C., against Inslee. The charges were not backed up, but they made the emotional appeal with the photographs on them. Such as a young man in a firefighter suit looking desperately hurt as if his puppy had just died, an outraged woman dressed as an EMT. These appeals influence a good hearted person, but they don't know the larger picture.

One would have to look at the GOP and know their positions to see how dishonest appeal is. The GOP, 'concerned' about firemen's pensions? This from the party that wants to do away with their jobs, pensions, agencies, unions, public workers, fire, police and FEMA as a mater of public policy?

After this election we need a sweep to clean out these crooks who distort everything, say exactly the opposite of what they do to people, and get the public educated again. We're tired, but we need the young people who are lining the streets to vote for Obama, to get into the process and stay in it. We need to faciliate their involvement, their education. We can't afford to let things go the way the GOP is intending.

Venting over.

and I think you're on to something

can we outlaw alec?

i guess we should put limits on how much money you can spend on elections and that will help enormously but how do you outlaw the aggregious lobbying that organizations like ALEC who hand pre written legislation to lazy GOP candidates to pass?

how do we you make sure the laws are written by the people?

i also don't like ballot initiatives.. it gets around mob rule that the founding fathers were so clear to prevent.. they knew the masses were unable to govern themselves because (as you point out people not paying attention might believe the GOP ads with firefighters in them).

i think a ballot initiative merely gets a law to be written a certain way and prioritized for vote by the legislators.. i don't think ballot initiatives (other than extremely local city ordinances) should be allowed to rest as law... especially ones like Ref. 74 where as a gay woman I have to beg for the right the legislature already granted me in gay marriage in WA state..

this is insane...

In seems to me (not a lawyer) that a third party, intervening between the voter and the BOE, is 1. misrepresenting their intention (fraud); 2. interfering with the casting of federal ballots and 3. someone help me here - there must be other ways of naming the illegality of private citizens intervening in elections.

How about an emergency injunction to stop this effort? Followed up by visits by the sheriff?

The ballot is meant to be a piece of mail to be sent to the
appropriate address.

By misrepresenting one's self as an agent to transfer mail without authority you are perpetrating a fraud and a felony (also, not a lawyer)

The vans should be easy to spot and they whould be arrested.

With all these tricks rMoney should just forefit the election.
This is really Mickey Mouse (apologies to the mouse)

wherein no mail is involved (county elections runs the drop-offs, not the fucking Republican Party) so while you might get a brief injunction or something with that tack, you won't get a permanent solution.


I can't believe they think they can open these ballots and alter or review them, but you could 'hedge your bets' by looking up the voter's political donations history. If they gave to a Democrat, they could shitbarn the ballot.

I don't remember if my name is visible on the outside, but my signature certainly is. I wouldn't be surprised if they had some way to look up who the outer security envelope belonged to.
