A 51-year-old former Republican congressional candidate in Indiana was arrested this week for allegedly stealing ballots during a public test of the states ballot card voting system. Larry Savage Jr., an elected precinct committeeman, was taken into custody on Tuesday and charged with one count of felony destroying or misplacing ballots and one count of misdemeanor theft, authorities announced.
In May, Savage came in 6th place in the Republican primary for Indianas Fifth District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, garnering 1.9% of the vote. On his campaigns Facebook page, Savage writes, I am a MAGA Candidate for U.S. Congress 2024 and that one of his reasons for running is to bring back fair, transparent elections. According to a news release from the Indiana State Police, the incident took place during a test of the Voting System Technical Oversight Program (VSTOP) at the Madison County Government Center on Oct. 3, 2024.
The test requires manual entry of a pre-audit group of ballots marked to record a predetermined number of valid votes for each candidate and on each public question, police explained in the release. After the testing process, the ballots used are treated as if they were used on election day. Before the ballot card voting system can be used in an election, the machines are required to be tested openly to representatives of political parties, candidates, media, and the public.
The Oct. 3, test involved four voting machines and 136 actual candidate ballots marked for testing, investigators said. Following the test, officials said they discovered that two ballots were missing from the initial ballot tabulation. An investigation revealed several videos that allegedly showed Savage being instructed on the validity of the test ballots and then folding and placing both ballots in his pocket.

Also how did the people who set the fires at the mailboxes know they weren't destroying some votes for tsf, in addition to the Harris ones?

(141,649 posts)it's not to remove actual votes but to give fake examples of how "voting" will always be "suspect", and thus, at some point in the future, will no longer be needed (having a dictator for life).
It is "softening up the target" to accept the dictator, where voting will eventually be outlawed, especially if the "toss the Constitution" threat ever happens.
