Newsom order sending mail-in ballots to all California voters sparks concerns


Fox News  "The order by the Democratic governor sparked pushback from Republicans, who have opposed the expansion of mail-in ballots out of fear it would lead to voter fraud -- and raised the prospect of a legal challenge.
"The Republican National Committee said it is reviewing its legal options "to ensure the integrity of the election.”
"California Republicans have pointed to problems in the state with voter rolls and a “motor voter” program to register new voters that led to hundreds of thousands of discrepancies -- although the errors reviewed did not allow anyone to vote who shouldn’t have been allowed to.
" 'To mail out millions of ballots to voter rolls have proven to contain alarming errors throughout the state is not a task that these Democrats can adequately manage or safely execute," Jessica Millan Patterson, chairman of the California Republican Party, said in a statement." . . .

Democrats who love ballot-harvesting should love mail-in ballots
The Stupidity of Ballot Harvesting and How It Steals Elections  . . . "Ballot harvesting is the process where organized workers or volunteers--people you don't know--collect absentee ballots from voters and drop them off at a polling place or election office. Nothing can go wrong there; right? 
"Some are so hungry to have voters participate in the process that they are willing to lower the bar for how ballots end up at the election office.  They are so anxious to do this that they will sanctify any hare-brained scheme to raise the voter count.  They forget we live in a free country where it is the right of everyone who meets the requirements to vote or not to vote.  Not voting is a statement and a right of every citizen. 
. . . "Orange County, California -- which was a Republican stronghold for a long time -- had 250,000 harvested ballots turned in on election day.   The Republicans have no infrastructure to pursue testing as to how or whether this process was manipulated or fraud was part of the process." . . .
