If ever there was a reason to stop, this is it.
Other countries are now reportedly taking measures to do away with postal ballot harvesting—the same thing which did us in during the 2020 elections.
Their reasoning? It’s simple really: mail in ballot harvesting is prone to fraud.
This along with voter ID protocols are being introduced into U.K. legislation sources say.
Looks like The U.K. is doing the exact opposite thing Democrats are trying to do here, and this just shows us how destructive this whole mail-in voting thing is.
Other countries are now learning from our mistakes, and changing their laws based on what they saw happen to us.
Isn’t that sad?
Here is the latest on the story:
The Epoch Times reported:
Under new measures announced on Friday, “postal vote harvesting” will be stopped by limiting the number of postal votes that a person may hand in on behalf of others.
Currently, anyone is able to collect postal votes from any number of electors and hand them in at a polling station, which the government said presents a risk of postal votes being appropriated and stolen, or voters completing postal ballot papers under duress.
The new law will also ban party campaigners from handling postal votes altogether, making it a criminal offence.
The new rules will extend the secrecy provisions to absentee voting by making it an offence for a person to attempt to find out or reveal who a postal voter has chosen to vote for.
While registration for postal votes is currently valid indefinitely, the new rules will require postal voters to reaffirm their identities by re-applying every three years.
Taken directly from the UK.Gov website concerning the new voting laws:
Currently, anyone is able to collect postal votes from any number of electors and hand them in at a polling station, which presents a risk of postal votes being appropriated and stolen, or voters completing postal ballot papers under duress.
We are making changes that:
Ban party campaigners from handling postal votes altogether (with some limited exceptions), making it a criminal offence
Stop postal vote harvesting, by limiting the number of postal votes that a person may hand-in on behalf of others;
Extend secrecy provisions that currently protect voting in polling stations to absent voting – making it an offence for a person to attempt to find out or reveal who a postal voter has chosen to vote for;
Require those registered for a postal vote to reaffirm their identities by re-applying for a postal vote every three years (currently registration is indefinite, so long as the elector provides a signature periodically).
