In an unremitting bid to clamp down on “voter fraud,” Republican House lawmakers want to prevent any individual or organization from distributing absentee ballot request forms to eligible voters.
HB 1362 proposed by Rep. Hardy Billington, R-Poplar Bluff would add a line to existing election law stating that “No individual or organization shall distribute unsolicited applications for absentee ballots by mail, electronic mail or any other means.”
The proposal received support from sitting Republican committee members, such as Rep. Cheri Toalson Reisch, R-Hallsville, who has publicly touted knowledge of alleged fraudulent “dead voters” being included in voter rolls. She said she also believes the forms shouldn’t be automatically sent out by a local election authority.
