Mail-in ballot harvesting season is officially underway. The fields were plowed years ago. The voter rolls were seeded with every name they could find: people who moved away a decade ago, people who died, people who were never citizens. Every bill that would have weeded the rolls was killed before it could sprout. Voter ID was fought off as "racist." The SAVE America Act was left to rot in the field. Then came the rain. Unsolicited ballots fall on every address on file, on the living and the dead, the present and the long gone. Nobody asked for them, and nobody tracks where they land. Now comes the harvest. Here's how it works in practice: Take a 100-unit, low-income apartment building in a state that mails every registered voter a ballot. Most people in it don't vote. Many don't check their mail. Ballots arrive for every tenant registered there over the last ten years or more. So a 100-unit building can get five times as many ballots as it has residents. Most of them end up on the mailroom floor. Activist groups recruit people from the neighborhood to "collect" those ballots and pay them for every completed one, with no oversight and no accountability. A recruit has two choices. He can spend weeks tracking down the real voters and asking them to fill out their own ballots. Or he can scoop up every blank one, fill them all out himself, and make thousands of dollars knowing he'll almost never get caught. Those ballots go into the mail or a drop box and get counted next to the legitimate ones. It doesn't take a grand conspiracy. Pay people per ballot and they'll cheat on their own. And the people funding it are never in the room. They never gave an order and never saw a thing. They don't have to. They just own the farm.
