Wisconsin Authorities Investigate Absentee Ballots Found In Ditch, As FBI Probes Discarded Pro-Trump Ballots In PA https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/w...-ballots-found-ditch-fbi-probes-discarded-pro
the Democrats are quickly changing their tune on ballots as they are finding out that this isn't going to work for them in the way they expected (turn out). Expect hard pivots imminently.
That sounds good. I don't follow the tick by tick on this issue but - aside from Trump or any challenges from Trump- we have had special elections and other elections recently where massive numbers of mail-in ballots have been rejected for pernickety reasons. So the Tards need to be careful. They are not all that smart, you know.
Democrats have not given up on cheating and mass election fraud. Do not underestimate them. They are just starting.
Our State Election Board has always been a circus in North Carolina. Due to arcane political rules the Democrats have been able to maintain a majority on the board over the past decade (actually for over 100 years) -- even when we had a Republican majority legislature and Republican governor. As noted in earlier threads; the state election board has only investigated fraud when it involved Republicans in our state --- when Democrats did the exact same thing (e.g. ballot harvesting) the state election board never took any action. The N.C. Election Board has become a circus once again in our state over rules for the 2020 general election related to mail-in ballots. Basically the Democrats on the state election board agreed to a court settlement regarding the mail-in ballot process and then did not tell the Republicans the true details of the settlement. Here is the convoluted story (click other links in story to get more details about the lawsuit settlement, etc.) Both Republican members of NC State Board of Elections resign https://www.cbs17.com/news/north-ca...embers-of-nc-state-board-of-elections-resign/ The five-person North Carolina State Board of Elections is now down to three after both Republican members of the board resigned Wednesday night. The NCSBE issued a statement regarding the resignation of David Black and Ken Raymond. “We appreciate their service to the State Board, particularly the knowledge and perspective they provided from their years of service as members of the county boards of elections,” the statement said. The resignations came just as the NCSBE agreed to settle a lawsuit filed by the North Carolina Alliance for Retired Americans, which sued state officials over a variety of provisions related to absentee voting. The settlement may bring changes to the mail-in ballot process, which is already underway. The board agreed unanimously on the settlement. A judge will now consider whether to approve it. “Voters need certainty. So, I think it was in the best interest of voters of North Carolina that we were able to provide that certainty now and make some commonsense changes, so that everybody in North Carolina can vote,” said Damon Circosta, chairman of the State Board of Elections in an interview. The agreement calls for an easier process for voters to correct mistakes in filling out their mail-in ballot. The state requires a witness to sign that ballot, write their address, and print their name. If there’s an issue with how the witness filled out that portion, the settlement allows for a voter to fill out an affidavit and send it to the county board of elections to correct that problem. Under current rules, the voter would have to get a new ballot altogether. Read the full resignation letters below: (see article for text) North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein (Democrat) release a statement on the resignations on Thursday morning: This is political theater at its most destructive. The Republican Party needs to start respecting democracy, instead of undermining it. The proposed consent order is a negotiated compromise response to the greatest public health crisis in 100 years, the USPS slowing of mail delivery, and a federal court order mandating a cure process for mail in ballot errors. I am committed to ensuring that all eligible voters in North Carolina are confident in the knowledge that they can vote easily and safely by mail or in person — and that the candidate who wins the most votes will prevail.”

Just a follow-up to this... NC Elections board releases documents, minutes of settlement meeting https://www.wral.com/nc-elections-board-releases-documents-minutes-of-settlement-meeting/19304725/ he State Board of Elections on Friday released the minutes and attorney-client documents of a closed-session meeting held Sept. 15 in which the board unanimously approved a legal settlement relaxing some vote-by-mail requirements. The unusual step, approved unanimously in a brief open meeting Friday morning, is meant to counter accusations by Republican leaders that Democrats and attorneys for the board misled, misinformed or deceived two former Republican board members about what the settlement would do. Those members, Ken Raymond and David Black, abruptly resigned Wednesday evening, more than a week after voting to approve the settlement. Their letters of resignation were submitted after state GOP leaders denounced the deal. Raymond claimed in his letter that he had been misled about the legal precedents for the settlement, while Black said he had not fully understood its ramifications. On Thursday, North Carolina Republican Party Chairman Michael Whatley accused Democrats on the board of "deceit," "bullying" and "collusion." After Friday morning's vote to release the meeting minutes, a memo from the Attorney General's Office and the board counsel's memo, Chairman Damon Circosta read a statement explaining the move. "The public has a right to know what happened during this closed session and about the contents of the documents provided to all the members," Circosta said. "Any assertion that a member was misled or not fully apprised of the issues at hand is incorrect.* Republicans contend the settlement allows far more leeway than the documents represented to the members.
