<\/p>\nRUSH: Now, folks, the whole subject of absentee ballots and mail-in ballots is something that will not go away. And it seems like every day there are literal horror stories about mail-in ballots, where they have been found in ditches. Did you see the story last week where a sheriff\u2019s department in Wisconsin somewhere found a bunch of mail-in ballots in a ditch?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now, let me ask you a question. See, when I see a story like that, the first thing that I ask is, “Why in the world was a sheriff\u2019s department running around where there are ditches?” And it\u2019s never explained. It\u2019s just, “Oh, yeah, it\u2019s common. The sheriff\u2019s department\u2019s always patrolling ditches — and on today\u2019s patrol of ditches, look what they found in there.<\/p>\n
“They found a bunch of discarded mail-in ballots. Somebody had tossed \u2019em in the ditch.” Obviously what had happened is that a concerned citizen had seen them in the ditch and called the sheriff\u2019s department. The sheriff\u2019s department went out there and looked and said, “Lo and behold, there are! There are some damn ballots out here in the ditch.”<\/p>\n
But, you know, this is the kind of thing that just boggles my mind. But let me tell you what we\u2019re gonna have to do. We are gonna have to very soon — and I don\u2019t think it\u2019s gonna happen. But these mail-in ballots are going to be a problem. I think we ought to just say right now that they\u2019re not gonna count. I know it\u2019s not gonna happen. It should happen.<\/p>\n
I know a lot of people are worried about going to the polls. They\u2019re worried about COVID-19. They\u2019re worried about transportation. They\u2019re worried about being harassed. Especially if you\u2019re gonna vote for Trump, I can imagine the fear that you have about actually showing up to your polling place. And if that fear is insurmountable, then by all means request an absentee ballot and go through whatever hardship hoops you gotta do to vote absentee.<\/p>\n
But these unrequested mail-in ballots? We need to just put a stop on all of this right now. I have a story here about a mess-up with absentee ballots, and I think it\u2019s a disaster waiting to happen. Here\u2019s the headline: “Voters Across Brooklyn Get Absentee Ballot Return Envelopes with Wrong Name and Address<\/a> — The city Board of Elections sent absentee ballots to some Brooklyn voters with return envelopes bearing strangers\u2019 names and addresses, The City has learned.”<\/p>\n “In those cases, if a voter fills out their presidential election ballot and sends it in as instructed, their vote could be attributed to another person.” You think that\u2019s not by design? “As of late Monday, The City,” again, the publication here, “had received calls and emails from several voters affected by the apparent screwup in at least five neighborhoods: Sheepshead Bay, Crown Heights, Prospect Heights, Park Slope and DUMBO.<\/p>\n “Victoria Edel, of Sheepshead Bay, said she received a return envelope with the name and address of a woman who lives one street away and has a last name that begins with a D. ‘This is not my ballot, we have this random lady\u2019s ballot — it\u2019s like they messed this up in a big way,\u2019 said Edel, 28. Valerie Vasquez, a spokesperson for the city Board of Elections, blamed a vendor hired by the agency, Phoenix Graphics of Rochester, N.Y., hired to print and distribute absentee ballots in Brooklyn and Queens.<\/p>\n “She said the board is trying to understand the scope of the problem and what to do about it. … ‘They took my information and we\u2019re just about ready to hang up and I said, “What do we do here? I want to vote absentee. How do we resolve this?” They said “we\u2019ll be in touch,”‘ [one voter] said. ‘It\u2019s appalling that they can make a mistake like this and so close to the election,\u2019 he added. ‘It seems like the voters are the last concern of the Board of Elections.'”<\/p>\n Here\u2019s another one: “Voters in New York City are sounding the alarm after several have reported receiving absentee ballots [again] containing either the wrong name and address, or another person\u2019s ballot altogether — and officials estimate as many as 140,000 mismatched absentee mailings were sent out.”<\/p>\n “The Gothamist,” another publication, “reported Monday that multiple voters in Brooklyn said ‘they have received a mislabeled “official absentee ballot envelope,”‘ …140,000″ New Yorkers got absentee ballots with the wrong names and addresses.” Now, is this purposeful by design, or is this just incompetent?<\/p>\n Now we go to Texas: “Biden\u2019s Texas Political Director Implicated in Massive Mail-In Ballot Harvesting Scheme in Harris County.” Now, we haven\u2019t even touched yet on James O\u2019Keefe. James O\u2019Keefe has another bombshell at Project Veritas<\/a>, and the ballot harvesting and phoniness that Ilhan Omar\u2019s operation has been engaged in.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/APP-The-CityTEARAWAY-092920-xc.jpg\")
