Anyone who lives in a state with republicans controlling voting BEWARE!

The mother was more of a douche than her kid.

I find that's usually the case.

So, what makes you believe this video wasn't staged? Why didn't they call the police, stealing campaign signs being a felony?

Notice the signs allegedly stolen from people's yards are in pristine condition. It's identical to what you'd find if a stack signs had been picked up by a volunteer installer.

Notice the quantity of signs in the trunk? Are we supposed to believe they gathered this many from people's yards for months without getting caught?

Accepting this video as accurate requires willful ignorance.

Since you are flying off into using copium tactics such as sealioning and fabricated conspiracies to deal with this, let me go ahead and quash that shit right now.

As to the OP... Glad the guy was caught. As to the other poster sarcastically saying he was surprised a Dem would do this, when you are done clutching your fake pearls, have a read.

Who puts a $29 Air Tracker in a campaign sign which can be replaced for free? Look at the signs as shown in the video. Where could an Air Tracker be hidden in the sign where it wasn't noticeable? The signs are a thin kind of poster board in pristine condition.

The linked articles provided more information revealing more holes in the story. There were supposedly 60 signs recovered. That means they eluded detection to raid at least 20 locations, more likely 35+ locations. Highly improbable.

But wait, it's reported the police have the signs yet nobody has been charged. Sufficient evidence for your copium fueled delusions just don't look too closely.

More sealion trolling to bolster your own fabricated conspiracy when the news story was dropped at your feet. No amount of facts will make a maga flinch.

I live in Georgia. I applied for my absentee ballot on August 28th. It was received and accepted according to the state website. I still have not received my ballot. So I've tried multiple time today to call my counties voter registration place and got no answer. No recording, no message, no nothing, just rings and rings and finally disconnects.

In the mail today I got a letter from a group called VoteForward, a nonprofit organization established to help voters who are having problems. I called them and explained my issue.

While I waited, they tried to call my local voter registration office, and their call went though. Imagine that, a call from an out of area prefix other than our local prefixes was answered...Vote Forward told me they were located in North Carolina. The call was on speaker so I could hear it all. VoteForward gave them my full name, birthdate, and voter registration number, and asked when I would receive my absentee ballot, and according to them I should have gotten it by now, but if I still have not received it by 10-25, to call back.

Vote Forward told them if my ballot was not received by 10-25, they would be reporting my local registration office to the state and federal government.

I would like to share VoteForward number for anyone else having trouble. Their number is 866-687-8683. They can be reached at votefwd.org/vote. Hope this helps others having problems.

Same thing going on in Ohio. Fortunately, the Ohio Supreme Court won't allow GOP fixing.

This is why I vote early and in person. I do not trust the post office under DeJoy or (in the case of Ohio, Frank LaRose) the Secretary of State to not try and disenfranchise my vote.

All of the Republican ads flooding television here in Iowa all parrot the same, erroneous things. High gas prices and higher grocery prices, while blaming their Democratic opponents for inflation.

What a load of crap. Gas prices are $2.65 a gallon and have been under $2.99 for months. The Democrats aren’t to blame for inflation, and these Republicans who are incumbents haven’t done jack squat the past couple of years to curb inflation. They’ve sat on their butts and now claim they will “fight to bring down inflation.” Like they can do anything about it. Just more Republicans thinking their voters are stupid.

It's hard for me to consider the USA a true democracy.

We are 180 degrees opposite here. Everyone gets to mark a ballot.

However, that ballot unopened must meet certain criteria is the voter is not on the Canada Voter List...yes we have a printed list of the names of every person who has voted in an election in the last 20 years or so. Not on the list? No Id? No problem. Have someone swear for you and your validity. However that ballot can be subject to a challenge by any of the registered parties.

We get very low turn outs. They are still counting the ballots in the provincial election a week ago where the socialist NDP has a slight edge over the right wing fascist dictatorship Conservative party...but then I am neutral.

Have you seen Maureen O'Connor's (the Republican former Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court) TV ad promoting voting "yes" on Issue 1?

I've just come across this statement she put out (re Issue 1)

Statement from Retired Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor Regarding News Conference by Gov. DeWine – Yes on Issue 1 » Citizens Not Politicians

Statement from Retired Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor Regarding News Conference by Gov. DeWine
July 31, 2024

Retired Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor today issued the following statement in response to Gov. Mike DeWine’s news conference in which he discussed redistricting:

The disinformation from the Governor today is insulting to everyone in Ohio, and especially insulting to the half a million Ohioans — Republicans, Democrats and Independents — who put the Citizens Not Politicians Amendment on the November ballot.

Gov. DeWine voted with his fellow politicians seven times for unconstitutional maps, and now says what Ohio really needs is what he calls ‘The Iowa Plan,’ a system where the Governor and other politicians get the final say on maps. For nearly a year, we have been publicly collecting signatures in all 88 counties and now – 97 days before the election – he tells Ohioans that he and his friends in the legislature are already scheming to overturn what voters will pass in November.

We’re done listening to self-serving politicians tell us how they want to keep rigging the game. On to November.

I'm surprised by DeWine's position, I guess he feels he has to make amends for his anti-Trump/Vance bs on Springfield Haitians. Issue 1 will be passed by a significant margin, even though DeRose/Yost tried to encrypt the wording.

What's really important is that Brown beats the slimeball Mareno.

Can't agree more.

(Perhaps DeWine feels he needs to protect his kids' political prospects: a son is on the state supreme court, a daughter is prosecuting atty of Greene County.)

Oh yeah they really spruced up the negativity instead of describing what it does, directly trying to influence voters.

Yeah, there's so much out there flying around right now it's hard to not! lol My neighborhood has a few Harris signs up to my surprise and now someone is stealing them. It's the talk of the street. Cameras are being installed, extra signs are being handed out. In the end, it might just be some pranking kids but man, the tension is real!! I can't wait until this election is OVER! I think I'll take a two year news break for sure!

I could just get out my metalworking torch and scare the shit out of any would be arsonist but then again my HOA doesnt allow yard signs.

Who controls your county?

I mean, you apply your broad brush in your thread title and imply that anyone, living in any state that is controlled by Republicans can have the same thing happen to them that happened to you.

I suggest you replace your broad brush in favor of a very fine brush that only paints the officials in your county.

The GOP has been rigging elections using these kinds of shady, anti-democratic measures for decades.
