Judge Tosses 50,000 Absentee Ballot Requests After Commissioner Fills Out Voter Information

A judge in Iowa ordered 50,000 absentee ballot requests to be voided after President Donald Trump’s campaign argued a county elections commissioner acted improperly when he sent the requests out with voter’s personal information already filled out.
Judge Ian Thornhill issued a temporary injunction, The Associated Press reported, which requires Linn County Auditor Joel Miller “to notify voters in writing that the forms should not have been pre-filled with their information and cannot be processed.”
Miller, a Democrat, violated a “clear directive” from Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate, who said in July that county officials must provide blank absentee ballot request forms to voters, Thornhill ruled.
Miller said he was just trying to make voting easier by having the information already filled out, including the four-digit voter identification numbers that most people don’t know. Republicans argued that having voters fill out their own forms would make absentee voting more secure.

I received mine from MD and it was pre-filled out with my name, etc... I actually think that's a good idea. If they receive that was not pre-populated by the elections board, then they should not accept it. Otherwise, people can fill it out with fake names, etc...

LOL so an official fills out official ballots, based on official data, and sent to voters on the official rolls. Yet you guys think this is cheating. LOL

If it weren't for a dishonest democrat there would be no democrats. Dishonesty is in their DNA. They are all liars, cheats and inherently very violent people Don't forgot the democrats own Maxine Waters calling on democrats to get violent against Republicans
The democrat party created the violence. Violence is who the democrats are. The democrats own the riots going on Again It is Who the Democrats are.

Me too. It’s the form to send in to get a mail-in ballot. This form is not for an absentee ballot. Nor is it an actual ballot for your vote. Maybe it’s a good thing you can’t read.

So, if I stole a ballot from your mailbox that is blank, can I fill in your personal voter information and mail in in your name?

So, if I stole a ballot all ready filled out with your personal voter information and I voted the ballot and mailed it in, who's gonna know?

If I never actually mail you the ballot because I'm a lying cheating P.O.S. dumbocrat, and I have you personal voter information and vote the ballot and mail it in, who's gonna challenge the ballot?

So how that works? I would have drawn you a picture for easier comprehension but there are limitations on posting comments here.
