Governor Pete Ricketts and state Secretary of State Bob Evnan put out a warning today about ballot harvesting.

Collecting ballots from others and delivering them is legal in Nebraska. What they claim they are concerned about are people turning over ballots to people they do not know, and the ballot not being delivered.

Governor Ricketts also complained about mail voting, but not in Nebraska, just other states. He claims he is concerned about forging postmarks in states where ballots will be accepted after the election provided they are postmarked before the polls close. (To be very clear, forging postmarks to get in late ballots is a bullshyte claim.)

He says of course our state’s mail voting is secure though.

Mail ballots and absentee ballots in Nebraska must be received by close of business on Election Day. Ballots received afterward are void regardless of the postmark.
