Attention US Voters!

Nearly 14,000 Nevada voters must verify their identity with election officials to cure the signature on their mail-in ballots or their votes won’t count in what was expected to be a close presidential race, according to the secretary of state.

The deadline for voters to cure their ballots is 5 p.m. Nov. 12, officials said. [. . .]

Ballots need to be cured if the signature on file with the elections department doesn’t match, or if the voter failed to sign their mail ballot.

When there is a signature issue, the Clark County Election Department notifies voters by telephone, email, and U.S. mail. The phone call from Clark County will come from 702-455-8683, officials said.

Officials urge voters to check if their ballot was accepted by using the state's online tool.

actually one more thing kristen was so clutch this ep with that mass cure wound while not a single one of the rat grinders has gotten a heal from their own team that's so dire . like you know essays can be written abt that right

IMPORTANT: 1200 BALLOTS FROM PHILADELPHIA HAVE ALREADY BEEN REJECTED DUE TO VARIOUS ERRORS. Voters need to check with their elections office or at the site above (for Philadelphia) to ensure that their ballot was not rejected. If it was rejected, they need to contact their elections office ASAP for options to ensure their vote can be counted. Other Pennsylvania voters should proactively check with their elections offices NOW as well since some counties ARE NOT REQUIRED TO INFORM VOTERS THAT THEIR BALLOT WAS REJECTED.

personal beliefs in negligible benefit of a Harris presidency aside i think these posts dangling the carrot of uncounted ballots in Nevada and Pennsylvania when Kamala's already gone up on stage to give the good ol' "ah eto... bleugh" and then get yanked back into the wings with a long wicker cane are just self-induced cruelty at this point

I do have to admit that, to be completely fair, a lot of us aren't exactly in the best headspace right now.

Some of us find it hard to believe that THIS many people would choose Trump willingly.

Some of us just want some way out of the next four (or more, because let's not kid ourselves, he will try to pull something) years of hell. (A reminder of the old saying - "The US sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold". And given I already live in a totalitarian hellhole as it is... You know I don't want our guy to get even bolder or to start wrecking even MORE people's lives.)

So I guess it is to be expected a lot of people would jump onto something, ANYTHING, that could change things. No matter how faulty.

Ok, so with all these posts going around aboht election interference and calling for a recount, i wanted to find evidence that weren't twitter screenshots

Bomb threats at polling places:

This claim is legit, as well as the source being from russian email domains. No actual bombs were placed or set off.

Burning ballot boxes:

3 incidents of burning ballot boxes have been confirmed for this election in Portland, Oregon and one in Vancouver, Washington, both of which are suspected to be from the same individual. Republican and Democrat officials have spoken out against this, ballot boxes were guarded after the incidents started, and fire suppression systems inside the ballot boxes saved the majority of the ballots, except for one box where 488 ballots were damaged due to a malfunction of the fire suppression system.

Fires were also confirmed in Arizona by a man who apparently just wanted to be arrested and had no political motivations.

No fires were confirmed in Georgia, despite repeated claims that most of the fires were in Georgia. Georgia changed their election laws in 2021 in regards to absentee votes. Ballot boxes have been notably targetted for election conspiracy and mistrust. Take this into account when you see outcry about ballot boxes in any way.

Votes not being counted:

The screenshots im seeing particularly note California, which is the state with the largest amount of registered voters. California is also dealing with massive wildfires rn. Its gonna take a couple days, and the election isnt officially over yet. Calm down

20 million unaccounted votes:

Yall . . .

This shit takes time. Theyre not "throwing your ballots out" or "deliberately not counting votes". Be so for real

Some of this shit is valid, and should probably be known. Some of this shit is making yall sound like trumpers in 2020. Be smart. Have critical thinking.

If youre gonna reblog or comment with claims i better see credible evidence to back your claims up or youre getting blocked

❗️Nevada voters - this is going to sound weird, but PICK UP YOUR PHONE if an unknown number calls.

**Lots of signatures on ballots are not matching and your ballot may need to be fixed.

TLDR; yes, signature matching is an antiquated way to verify ballots but it is still being used. Reportedly thousands of ballots here need to be cured. Answer the phone!

The stupidest thing I've seen in a very stupid week is all the comments telling people they aren't protesting right, or don't have the right to protest because they aren't oppressed in the right way. Tr*mp doesn't even have to bring out the National Guard with all of you motherfuckers policing each other for him.

[originalleftist]

A reminder, even if you're exhausted with this election:

Check that your ballot is received and counted.

If there's an issue with it, see if you can fix it (cure your ballot).

It may not change the Presidency, but control of the House is still undecided and will be very close.

To say nothing of down ballot state and local races, which can also be very close, and will be the last sanctuaries against the nation-wide imposition of fascism under a Trump regime.

Also its your voice, its your right, and if we're about to lose it, by God don't give it up a moment sooner than you have to.

Okay but for real if you live in Maricopa County and voted by mail PLEASE go check the county recorder's webpage to make sure you didn't get flagged for a signature issue!! Apparently something like 12k are still waiting to be cured and we need every single one of those votes to send Kari Lake back to the fucking shadow realm where she belongs and also REPLACE Kyrsten Sinema with someone who's not going to do a stupid little curtsy while they tank progressive policies in the Senate!!

THERE IS STILL TIME PLS CHECK IF YOU LIVE THERE!!! Also maybe check even if you don't live there, I made sure mine got counted in Pima, we can make Blue Arizona happen!!! Check your ballots!!!!

Via Bluesky: attn Nevada voters!

”In Nevada, the GOP is succeeding in throwing out the votes of thousands of young people. If you're in Clark or Washoe county, answer your phone tonight. It may be election officials, calling to cure the defect in your mailed-in ballot.”

Reminder to folks in the wake of the election to be extremely scam aware.

If you get an unsolicited email or call or text or any other contact from a federal or local agency saying you need to do something NOW RIGHT NOW to make sure your ballot is counted, stop. Do not do the thing they are telling you you must do.

Take a moment to figure out what agency they claim to be contacting you from, and then hang up, close the email, whatever. Go to a search engine, and find the OFFICIAL WEBSITE of whatever department. Call the number you find there. When you get through to a person, say “[Name] contacted me claiming to be from [department] about [issue], and I wanted to verify that this is not a scam.” The person on the other end of the line will either say “that’s a scam” or “no that could be a real issue, let me transfer you to someone who can help.”

You will never get a phone call about a warrant for basically anything. You will get a letter.

You do NOT need to pay to cure your ballot, or to overturn a warrant, or any other reason someone claiming to be a government agent might give you. If you have to pay a fine, you will receive a letter, and be told where to pay it. You will never need to pay using gift cards or cryptocurrency.

PLEASE be scam aware right now, as emotions and urgency are really high.

This site lets you check the status of your ballot. DO IT, regardless of how you voted.

There are record numbers of ballot challenges and "invalid" ballots. You have the right to cure your ballot.

Even if it won't change the outcome of the Presidential race, the down-ballot items still matter.

And even if it won't change the outcome of any race, YOUR VOTE MATTERS. Make sure it counts.

[scarletfern]

If you voted provisional, attend your ballot hearing anyway.

If your ballot needs to be cured, go fix the problem anyway.

Do not abandon your ballot.

Get it counted, regardless of what state you're in, regardless of whether you think it will help.

It could be the difference in a down-ballot race.

And if they do a recount, if there was fraud, it could even be the difference for Kamala.

Get your vote counted. No matter what the results say.

🚨 if you voted in a swing state and you get a call from an unknown number in the next 24 hours, answer it!! it might be a lawyer trying to cure your ballot so it can count. hundreds of thousands of ballots get rejected for things like digital signatures not matching what’s on file. many are reporting a lot of these among gen-z voters who do not know how to sign their ballots and it's affecting the election. and many states will continue to cure ballots days after the election.

if you are contacted, they will ask you to appear in-person at an official location to attest your ballot. 🚨

EDIT: CHECK YOUR EMAILS TOO!!!!

Ballot Curing for Signature Issues

Some US states are reporting large numbers of ballots with signature issues. There is a process for dealing with this called ballot curing. Election workers are trying to get in touch with voters with such issues, but I’m hearing many are not answering their phones. Please make sure your ballot was counted!

Nevada is one state I’ve heard of with this issue. Washington state may be another.

Check your ballot status and answer your phone please!
