Oh boy. The organizers aren't going to be happy with this.
My computer will not open the History and Test of Bill. Says site unsecure.
Saying that I'm sure this will somehow continue in the state.
Nothing about SB2224 or SB2622?
Typical.
Tate is great! Complainers always have something to say but Tate continues to support good legislation and reject bad laws.
1 state down, 49 to go to save this Constitutional Republic.
More low-hanging fruit. I will be impressed when he signs a law that isn't blatantly aimed at the conservative base. Seriously, go for any legit issue and fix it...I will be the first to sing your praises. But right now...it's just low-hanging fruit.
Look at all the democrat legislators who voted against this. Democrats LOVE
ballot harvesting!
@ 9:56 AM have you written something about those bills at your online place? Can you provide a link?
What? You haven't? You're only here to complain?
Typical.
Tate is great? Yet it took him and the Legislature 3 sessions to pass something that should have been priority #1 after the shenanigans exposed in the 2020 election cycle.
This works both ways
The dems are not happy.
I feel certain a court challenge is in the future claiming the law "disenfranchises" minority voters.
Next they will ban voting.
@9:47 AM
Just look for the little tiny link on your web browser that says “I understand the risks and continue” or simply go into settings and turn off “SmartScreen” filtering since it’s absolutely stupid to let Microsoft or google tell you what sites are safe!
Yep, ballot harvesting has kept the state down for so long. Our biggest issue solved.
But is this enforceable? Will there be a new "Bureau of Ballot Harvesting Enforcement?"
Ol' Tater must have a lot of bruises on his back based on the number of times that he patted himself on said back.
I only want fair elections with no bullshit involved.
No matter the outcome.
@12:04 might wanna learn a little bit about http(s) and how secure certificates work before telling folks to make their web browsing way less secure..all based on the assumption that google and microsoft are making these decisions LOL...i dont understand technology so obviously it must work the way my worldview wants it to be.
@12:45
I understand exactly how it works.
ms.gov has expired certificates but they aren’t delivering malicious payloads.
Good!
Ban Dominion and mail in voting in all 49 states with mandatory voter ID and then I will trust elections again!
Once again it's about WHO and not WHAT. WHO could "ballot harvesting" benefit and WHO might it hurt. That is the question, not whether it's right or wrong. Tater couldn't care less about a "fair" election. But neither could the other side.
There’s no early voting or drop boxes etc. Is this another law looking for a crime?
It might be just me, but I doubt it. I read through the posts and at least 50% of then make zero sense.
Who said medical cannabis is not taking flight in Mississippi?
(Edit) Make that 70%!
If a vote is cast by someone, just one, under false pretenses, is that illegal? Isn't that the real legal issue? So if the votes are not cast fraudulently or under false pretenses what difference does it make how many legitimate ballots are gathered and cast?
Make a law against carrying too much money, that would eliminate the opportunity for robbery. We would all feel safer. Thank you Tater.
Absentee ballots in majority renter areas will have the zip code changed to a non existent one, ballots come back as undeliverable, zip in computer is changed back to the right one then they are boxed up for markup and saved for counting. Ballot harvesting 101 right here. It's how we have the current occupier, only have to do it in a few counties to change an election.

Obviously Fox News or some other right-wing rag is your ONLY source of information. Why don't you move to Arizona and work for Kari Lake? I hear she needs some help and you'll fit right in with that crowd.
So grateful for the Tate and MS GOP passing bills that save me from these non-existent threats they conjure up.
But they still don’t trust the taxpayers to pass laws by referendum.
If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it.
Without drop boxes, there has never been ballot harvesting in Mississippi.
Which came first, the law, or the crime?

Dominion will be getting so many billions from FOX , they don't care .
You will however hate waiting weeks and weeks to hear who won while every ballot is hand counted.
And, that it won't occur to you that human error is more likely than computer error, will make that longer when loser demand recounts for every damn office.
You want a perfect system. There's no such thing , but you have screwed up a nearly perfect system to allow the far easier corruption of hand counting!
This is the price of ignorance in how something works or fails to work.
Richard Daley is laughing in Hell along with all of Tammany Hall!
They made corrupting hand count an art form!
12:26 - No, there will be no new bureau. It's the Secretary of State's duty to enforce the law.
You may not understand, but this makes illegal a truckload of democrats driving around to collect boxes of ballots and turning them in to be counted. That won't require much observation to enforce. You reckon?
And no, 'this doesn't work both ways', as suggested. Republicans have never been guilty of it or accused of it. It's acceptable in all blue states.
4:40 PM, get stopped by the cops with a large amount of money and see what happens to the money and you.
