Pre-printed personalized ballots as part of a GOTV effort in a mail-only election work: Kshama Sawant's Get out the Vote Campaign Decided the Recall Election | Seattle Met There were complaints that this is polling-place electioneering, and that the anti-recall campaign was very aggressive in their pop-up balloting printing locations. Still, seems generally legal. Printed ballots used in Kshama Sawant recall election are legal | king5.com. Minnesota Voters Alliance v. Mansky (2017).

Ah, a whole new industry for the American political pros. Not a ballot harvesting firm but a vote harvesting firm. Show up at the polling place with a thousand proxies in hand and tie up the polling place for hours. That, of course, after a decade of court fights over when it’s constitutional or if states can decided for themselves.

That is a fascinating tidbit, something I’ll file away in my “There are many different ways to do democracy” file, subfile “Not really sure that’s a good idea but if it works for the French, good for them.”

During an interview with Le Figaro today, I learned something remarkable from the French journalist about absentee voting in France that I thought I’d share with the list.

  

French elections are held on Sunday, there is no early voting, and only limited absentee voting, such as for those who cannot be present on election day.  But to vote absentee, I was told, you fill out forms to designate someone to go into the polls and vote for you on election day.  There are no absentee ballots.  So you have to trust that the person you designate will vote the way you want.  Another way to put this is that even absentee voting is in-person on a single election day.

  

  

Best,

Rick
