Dallas Speaks Up About Mail in Ballot Fraud

Posted by | May 5, 2017

Check out this piece put out by reporter Naomi Martin of the Dallas Morning News. It details how these ballot harvesting operations work at the ground level and what’s going on right now in Dallas when it comes to mail in ballot fraud.
