Vote Harvesting a Recipe for Coercion and Election Fraud | The Heritage Foundation
KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Vote harvesting occurs when third parties — like campaign workers — collect absentee ballots from voters and deliver them to election officials.
2. Allowing individuals other than the voter or his immediate family to handle absentee ballots is a recipe for mischief and wrongdoing.
3. Giving third parties who have a stake in the outcome of an election unsupervised access to voters and their absentee ballots is not wise.
