North Carolina voters receive absentee ballot request forms in the mail with Trump's face on them

Voters in North Carolina have received absentee ballot request forms in the mail with Trump's face on them

(CNN)Given the crisis facing the United States Postal Service before a presidential election, the last thing John Herter expected to receive in the mail Saturday was an absentee ballot request form with President Donald Trump's face on it.

"Is this a joke?" Herter said his wife told him as she opened up the mailer to reveal a photo of Trump grinning underneath the words, "Are you going to let the Democrats silence you? Act now to stand with President Trump."

(snip)

The mailer was sent out by the North Carolina Republican Party, press secretary Tim Wigginton told CNN. The state party has sent several statewide mailers "to make it easier for interested voters to participate," Wigginton said.

back in 2018 too. They will stop at nothing. They are relentless in their open election fraud attempts. When it does work, no one here punishes them. So, they keep coming up with more and more ways to do it more. They are out of control craven thieves.

I would think it would be illegal to actually put any candidate's face on a real and legal absentee ballot.

Then no big deal if the state gop sent them.

If they were sent to Dems then the recipients should make sure the mail to address is their correct county election office and not the gop office.

Voters are receiving multiple ballot requests where I live from various sources such as county parties, advocacy groups, candidates, and the Secretary of State and it is confusing them. I’ve spent a lot of time on Next Door trying to explain that once they send in a ballot request form then they can recycle additional request forms they may receive.

They can follow the progress of their request on the Secretary if State’s website.
