Democrats have their panties in a wad, except for the women wearing boxers, over the announcement by CPAC that they plan to videotape the drop off boxes in an effort to document election cheating in Arizona. Arizona law does not allow ballot harvesting, and I assume they will record license plate numbers of those who are mass dumping ballots. I think they should train observers on making citizen arrests just to make sure.
Matt Schlapp, the influential chairman of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), outlined the group’s intentions in a letter to Arizona state officials, Secretary of State Adrian Fontes and Attorney General Kris Mayes:
CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR NEWSLETTERThe letter reads:
The purpose of this letter is not to relitigate the 2020 elections. Rather, we hope to work with you to reduce voter concerns regarding election fraud and the fair and transparent administration of elections.
The goal is to establish standards for drop box observation that our organization, as well as any other interested parties on the right or left, can rely upon and reassure the public in Arizona that drop boxes are not being fraudulently used.
Failure to do so risks that the results of the November elections will be questioned by those who did not support the winning candidate.
VISIT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELTo address and help mitigate that skepticism, it is our intention to place monitors near a selection of drop boxes in select counties across Arizona. The purpose of doing so is to encourage—not discourage-voting. We are also considering using open-source information to identify those who are not eligible to vote.
We believe casting a legal ballot should be easy, and together we can begin to re-instill public confidence in our elections. To that end, we would like to work with your respective offices to establish appropriate standards for drop box monitoring that groups across the political spectrum can rely. Examples might include the following:
- Drop box observers must be situated on public property.
- Drop box observers must come no closer to the drop box than 75 feet, what is permitted for canvassers outside of polling locations. ARIz. REv. STAT. § 16-1018(1) (2022)
- Drop box observers must not communicate in any way with voters.
- Drop box observers must not be armed, carry any defensive gear, or wear any clothing that could be confused as representing law enforcement, military personnel, a candidate, or political party.
- Drop box observers may have photographic or video equipment to document any activity that could be viewed as legally questionable.
- Dropbox observers shall be trained on all laws and regulations governing activity that constitutes election observation and will follow those laws and regulations.
Kris Mayes lamely said:
“I want to be extremely clear that I will not stand for any voter intimidation, and that includes using ‘open-source’ information to identify individuals using a drop box to vote.”
This is in no way voter intimidation because the only people who object will be people breaking the law. This is no different from taping someone mugging someone on the street. If you are not breaking the law, this will not affect you at all, but if you are breaking the law then you should expect to suffer the consequences of your actions.

Democrat state officials are currently PANICKING about the plan's implementation
