Pubbie "Harvesting" Doomed?

 AOSHQ found an essay on the topic of Republican ballot harvesting; Party Poohbahs have it on tap for the next national election.  But there's this, from the essay:

...While Republicans will engage in the same practices as their foes, "harvesting for Republicans won't work," said Der Manouel, the former vice chair of the California GOP.

"Republican voters don't need to have their vote harvested. The only reason it works for Democrats is because they could never turn out their voters. What's going to happen is Republicans are going to start doing this and find that they don't have nearly enough ballots to harvest to make a difference."...

That is true.  Look at the sudden "surge" in (D) votes in Madistan '20 and '22.  It wasn't due to a case of Vote-Flu on the UW campus; it was due to a lot of leg-work by "organizers" in the dorms.  

Remember that the Legislature authorized out-of-State resident students to vote in Wisconsin elections?  And what makes you think--for one second--that all those "absentee" ballots were actually signed and sealed by the "resident" students instead of paid organizers?

It's not a question of whether Republicans can come up with a majority of the votes.  It's a question of how many illegal schemes the Democrats can and will use.
