A South Philly GOP ward leader has been ousted over ‘ballot harvesting’ concerns

[Magnus]

Billy Lanzilotti, who had been the Republican leader of the 39th Ward, diverted dozens of mail ballots of GOP voters to a P.O. Box registered to his political action committee.

GOP ward leaders voted to oust one of their own Saturday, hours after an Inquirer story highlighted his role in diverting dozens of mail ballots for Republican voters in South Philadelphia to a P.O. box under his control, raising concerns of a potential “ballot harvesting” scheme.

Up until Saturday, Billy Lanzilotti, 23, had led the 39th Ward — a section of deep South Philadelphia, east of Broad Street and south of Mifflin Street.

Most of the mail ballots that he had sent to a P.O. box registered to his Republican Registration Coalition PAC were for voters in the neighboring 26th Ward, where he was also seeking to become ward leader under Republican City Committee rules that allow members to hold that position in multiple wards at a time.

But many of the affected voters told The Inquirer they had no idea why their ballots were being sent to Lanzilotti instead of their home addresses. Some maintained they had never even applied to vote by mail.

Without Trump we would never have known about this sneaky tactic. Lets give the fat liar some credit.

I will give them credit here for not trying to sweep this under the rug. Far too often we see people refusing to openly and directly address issues that would be embarrassing to them.

Obviously the most secure election in history!

Right Democrats?

Republicans can’t win without cheating

How do we keep Republicans from cheating?

I think the best way to keep Republicans from cheating is voter ID laws, restricting mail in ballots to those who are incapable of voting in person and must be requested with a signed affidavit of the reason the Absentee Ballot is required AND cleaning up the voter rolls.

Basically the same fucking thing Republicans have been advocating for the last 50 years.

I think the Democrats have cornered the market on that score.

The current leader of their party is brain dead.... and he supposedly received the most presidential votes in history.

More propaganda from D’Sousa

https://www.newsobserver.com/news/article261036477.html

The group’s claims of a paid ballot harvesting scheme are supported in the film only by one unidentified whistleblower said to be from San Luis, Arizona, who said she saw people picking up what she “assumed” to be payments for ballot collection. The film contains no evidence of such payments in other states in 2020. Plus, experts say cellphone location data, even at its most advanced, can only reliably track a smartphone within a few meters — not close enough to know whether someone actually dropped off a ballot or just walked or drove nearby. “You could use cellular evidence to say this person was in that area, but to say they were at the ballot box, you’re stretching it a lot,”

Have you watched it? It’s literally cell phone tracking experts giving data that is unusual they aren’t telling you what to believe. Jeezuz.

We already have those. Each state has its own voting requirements, all of them requiring some form of ID to be able to vote. There are states that have been using mail in voting for decades without issue. It suddenly became an issue when your savior lost his bid for re-election and then cried incessantly about it for months after...and even well before the election. Also, nearly all the down ballot Republicans managed to survive..with the same mail in and absentee voting requirements.

 

[Missourian]

And if one person is caught for murder...that obviously means no one has ever not gotten caught.

Liberal logic at it's finest.

Thanks for the laugh.

Oh Noooo…….
Cell Phone “experts”

Can your “”experts” identify a single ballot deposited in that drop box that was not traced to a legal, registered voter?

Then why do you assholes always fight it?

Show you're fucking picture ID.

If you're too stupid or lazy too get a picture ID, then you're too stupid or lazy to vote.

Universal mail in ballots is a joke. Might as well have the election via online poll.

Democrats have the same notions of secure election as they do secure borders...IOW...none at all.

Are you ignorant as to what "clean the voter rolls" means, skippy?

There..are..already..ID..laws..on..the..books.
For ALL 50 states. There is nothing to "fight". Are you or are not in favor of states right to set their own election laws?
You're making an issue out of something that isn't an issue because the guy
who was most like you and the man you loved and worshiped lost his bid for re-election.

Why would someone drive around 2 square miles to six different drop boxes? There are legitimate questions. I am not saying over turn the election, I am saying improve the optics. Duh
