Someone just ran my doorbell wearing an “Arturo Jimenez” badge and offered to collect my ballot and hand it in.
Is this legal?
Is this acceptable?
Hi Dave, a single individual can return up to 10 ballots to the Denver Elections Division.
As Arturo’s campaign manager, I wanted to let you know that we are offering to collect ballots because it’s too late to mail them and many people don’t have time to stop by Scheitler Recreation Center or the Elections Division.
It is common practice for mail-in elections.
mostly because of a cat incident with the secrecy sleeve– claw and teeth marks make it less of a sleeve and more of a lace doily.
Don’t hand off your ballot unless it’s in that sleeve, sealed in the provided envelope, signed and dated. Personally, I wouldn’t hand it off to someone at the door anyway since all of the super secure sealing up requirements don’t mean diddly if someone notes the yard sign or bumper sticker that lands your ballot in the circular file.
I was asked to help but can’t take time off work this week.
Although I have collected ballots as a volunteer before, I wouldn’t hand my own to anyone without calling the campaign office directly (after looking the number up myself) and confirming that the individual at my door was sent by them. And only if I intended to vote for the person who had sent the volunteer.
Better yet, drop it off yourself.
Our clerk gets dozens of calls when campaigns start doing it.
Agreed. Personally, I would not give my ballot to anyone except an election official via a ballot box, or the postman via a mailbox.
Too much weird shit happens in campaigns these days.
Seniors, people with disabilities, single parents who rely on public transit…
I do a lot of GOTV calls the last few days and always add in, “If you can’t get your ballot in yourself, don’t hesitate to call a candidate you are voting for and ask them personally to send a volunteer to collect it.”
If you’ve requested a pickup I think it’s fairly safe as long as it’s from someone you’re supporting, but the door to door collections worry me. I have heard people brag about pulling up yard signs, so it’s not at all far fetched to think that some idiot would risk the repercussions of falsely collecting ballots and shredding them.
are also mine. It’s highly unusual for someone to randomly stop at your house to pick up your ballot, unsolicited. That’s a first for me and I’ve been at this a hell of a long time.
in the following sense: every campaign I’ve worked on, we have called supporters and asked them via phone if they need someone to pick up their ballot, in case they don’t have time to drop it off. If they say yes, we give the name of who is coming and also our number so they can call and verify they are handing it off to the right person.
I have NEVER heard of a campaign making an unsolicited stop to “pick up” your ballot. It’s legal but it’s definitely out of the ordinary and I wouldn’t hand it over unless you had agreed in advance that you wanted someone from Arturo’s campaign to stop by and take your ballot in for you.
Especially as he was wearing an Arturo button.
I’d like to know if they really are sending unsolicited canvassers to addresses not even identified as supportive.
I’ve seen campaigns send people unsolicited to offer to pick up ballots when a household is identified by a past caller/canvasser as a “definitely will support” but hasn’t voted. It sounds like you are a “definitely will not support” and that is either miserably bad targeting, total foolishness, or something more roguish than either.
9 time zones away, didn’t get ballot until Friday from Lake County
