An Arizona county party official said he saw a man stuffing “hundreds” of ballots into the ballot box and later told a local news outlet the entire incident was caught on surveillance video.
“A person wearing a Citizens for a Better Arizona T-shirt dropped a large box of hundreds of early ballots on the table and started stuffing the ballot box as I watched in amazement,” said A.J. LaFaro, chairman of the Maricopa County Republican Party.
The Maricopa County GOP chairman provided the Arizona Daily Independent with the following account of what happened during the Aug. 26 primary election cycle:
Guy: “What’s your problem?”
LaFaro: “I don’t have a problem.”
Guy: “Stop watching me. You’re annoying me.”
LaFaro: “One of your ballots isn’t sealed.”
Guy: “It’s none of your business. What’s your name?”
LaFaro: “I’m the chairman of the Maricopa County Republican Party. What’s yours?”
Guy: “Go f*** yourself. I don’t have to tell you who I am.”
LaFaro said he later submitted a public information request and obtained this surveillance video from 12:30- 1:30 on Aug. 25 (audio unavailable)
Okay....are you saying those that go through those ballots are incapable of weeding out these potentially bogus ballots? Heck, how do you know he isn't dropping off ballots for those that aren't able to make it to the ballot box?
Also, I am guessing this man is dropping off mail in ballots, which also begs the question, how does a photo ID prevent voter fraud from mail in ballots.
I suspect a legitimate explanation. It makes no sense for a ballot box to be left unattended in an empty lobby.
Lafaros' description is over the top: "LaFaro described the man as a “vulgar, disrespectful, violent thug” with “no respect for our laws.” He said he would have followed the man to his car to get his tag number but “feared for [his] life.”
First comment in your link:
"One of CBA’s core activities is to encourage voters to fill out absentee ballots and then offer to deliver the completed ballots to the polling station for them. Unless CBA workers are filling out fraudulent ballots, there is nothing here that is illegal. CBA is merely helping voters cast their votes.
That said, most groups focused on increasing voter turnout are liberal ones, and CBA probably targets heavily Democratic neighborhoods. Conservatives can’t stop CBA’s activities without evidence of some broken laws, but we can use the exact same tactic among our own most vulnerable constituencies: blue collar and rural whites, and homebound senior citizens.
Just a comment. The only primary that was really contested in Arizona was the Republican one. So if there was any 'stuffing' going on it would be registered Republicans or registered independents/unaffiliated voters who had elected to vote in the Republican primary. So - and assuming there is any illegal activity - this is more likely to be Republican on Republican than Democrat on Republican.
Also, drop boxes for absentee ballots are often/usually unattended and do not have 'monitors' at them. However, to be valid, the absentee ballot has to be in the envelope that is delivered with it to the voter and has to be signed by the voter. That envelope does have an identifier on it so you cannot just stuff a bunch of random ballots'.
