DENVER — It's harvest time in Colorado, and not just for pumpkins. Concerns are running high over door-to-door campaign workers asking voters for their mail-in ballots in what is known as "ballot harvesting."
Now that all-mail voting is the law of the land in Colorado, the challenge for campaigns is to persuade voters to drop off or mail in their ballots — or hand them to the foot soldiers who turn up on their doorsteps offering to do it for them.
While it's legal to give your ballot to someone else — one person may turn in up to 10 ballots — election watchers worry that the practice is ripe for abuse.
"These are totally unauthorized people coming to the door and gathering ballots and doing whatever they want to them," said Marilyn Marks, president of the Aspen-based Citizen Center, which focuses on election integrity.
"If I have collected your ballot, I could do the honest thing and put it in the mail for you, or take it to the clerk's office and drop it off — or I could look inside, open it gently, see how you voted, and if I didn't like it, I could make some changes," said Ms. Marks. "Or the other thing I could do, if I don't like the way you're voting, I could throw your ballot in the trash can."
Notice they didn't include that the mail ins have to be checked against voter rolls..Yep. Potential problems. Any indication of actual fraud, or is this just some chicken little piece?
But if any does occur it does not mean that only one party alignment will do it...The RWers on this site are blind and think all RWers are honest and well meaning..

Hey einstein. That's what the article is about. !!!! THINK
Hmm, Oregon started mail-in voting in 1998 and has become more and more solid blue ever since....maybe you have a point
With an average voter turnout of 60.13 – 8.5 percentage points above the national average – the system is working for Oregonians.
“There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that we see high turnout because of vote-by-mail,” says Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown. “It’s extremely convenient and accessible; it’s secure and cost-effective.”
Oregonians passed a referendum in 1998 to institute the vote-by-mail system – with almost 70 percent approval.

Does little moonglow ever post anything substantive? Or is it always just "Look over there! Republicans!! Republicans!!" ?[/QUOTE]Why yes, no GOP members have ever been accused, prosecuted or jailed over voter fraud....
Where's the link proving your RW claptrap to be true liar?When you have mail-in voting, people just sell the unmarked ballots to political parties and unions and they fill it out as they wish. Same with absentee voting. . You have to insist people use voting booths.

Democraps will vote absentee then roll down to the voting booth 2 weeks later to vote again.
Eliminating early voting by opening the polls for a couple of days, and allowing absentee voting only for those in very specific absentee circumstances (military or other government service) would help, but only if voters were required to provide positive photo ID. Early voting is bs.
