#ballots

[vshamru]

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.

‘We must push past the merry-go-round of leaders that say every four years “This is our time” then “We must wait more”.

We must pour that snake oil out onto the road. No more waiting on the messiah Democrat politician. None seeks to be our “retribution”.

Patience has only led us to the gate of lynch mob rule.’

This doesn't automatically mean that it's MAGA republicans ruining people's mail in hopes of ruining Kamala ballots, but considering that it's MAGAts who's been saying that they're going to be doing this I think it's pretty much safe to say that it's them. (Source. Source.)

The website where you request your ballots from should update saying that they got your ballot. Otherwise you can call them. If all else fails you can just go there and ask. If they didn't then you can vote. If you did then you're good. (And I highly, highly suggest that you do these things!)

KY clerk pulls machine after claim Harris got Trump vote | Lexington Herald Leader

https://www.kentucky.com/news/politics-government/article294842374.html

Le bureau du greffier du comté de Laurel a retiré une machine à voter de l'usage public jeudi 31 octobre 2024, le premier jour du vote anticipé dans le Kentucky, après que quelqu'un ait publié une vidéo sur TikTok affirmant que son intention de voter pour le républicain Donald Trump à la présidentielle était plutôt attribuée à la démocrate Kamala Harris. Le greffier du comté de Laurel, Tony Brown, un républicain, a déclaré dans une interview jeudi que son personnel ne pouvait pas recréer le problème, mais qu'il avait retiré la machine pour l'examiner dès qu'il avait eu connaissance de la plainte. « Nous y sommes allés directement. Mais nous ne pouvions pas lui faire faire ce qu'on lui disait. Nous n'avons pas pu recréer la situation. Nous avons appuyé sur tous les boutons, et tout s'est bien passé. Brown a déclaré qu'à sa demande, un enquêteur du bureau du procureur général de l'État, un ancien policier de la police d'État du Kentucky, se rendait au bureau du greffier du comté jeudi après-midi pour procéder à un examen indépendant de la machine.

This is in the Portland and Vancouver region of Oregon and Washington State. If you live in the area, read the story or watch the video. There's an option available for those who believe their ballot may have been destroyed. The police say they're investigating, but seeing as they support Agent Orange and are part of the MAGAt party, I wouldn't trust them. The FBI has gotten involved because this is a federal crime.

Are you an American over the age of 13? YOU ARE??

Then sign the fucking petition

Votes were burned and lost, some didn't vote for a president at all. Sign the fucking petition and make a change. Justice was never served by obedience.
