The left has taken to relying on voter fraud to win elections, and the fracking fight in Loveland is shaping up to be no exception.
The Loveland Reporter-Herald is reporting that the city clerk is warning voters of fraudulent ‘ballot collectors’ going door-to-door. The article doesn’t allege which side of the debate these ‘ballot collectors’ represent, but if the past is any indication it’s safe to say the fractivists are responsible. 
One need not look farther than what happened in Broomfield’s fracking fight at the end of last year to know fractivists live by the motto “election laws be damned!” when it comes to winning. Broomfield’s election was rife with fraud – everything from escorted voting to magically appearing ballots and conflicts of interest on the city’s canvassing board.
Fractivists trying to impose their will on the people of Loveland have clearly learned a thing or two from Colorado’s Democratic Party: if you can’t win fair and square then break the rules. Or in the case of Colorado Democrats, change the rules to give yourself an unfair advantage. As Peak readers will recall, Democrats rammed through House Bill 1303 which stripped clerks of their ability to review voter registrations made on Election Day and mandated that even people without proper photo ID be given a ballot.
HB 1303 was at least partially responsible for the mess in Broomfield, and it seems that Loveland could be headed in that same direction. Kudos to the Reporter-Herald for raising awareness about voter fraud early, now they just need to help expose the culprits illegally trying to collect ballots.
a week ago, a man came to our house and gave us brochures from 'coloradans for responsible energy development' all he had was a part of a newspaper and a card flyer..nothing with his name.
We signed a petition FOR FRACKING!!!
a few days ago, he was back, (this gave him a chance to find out that we were legitimate voters which is public record" and merrily wanted our ballots so that he could 'save us a trip'… If I would have talked to him, he would have gotten an earful!!!! and perhaps a picture taken of him….he better thank his lucky stars that it was my hub that told him no!!
Yeah right..he would have put them right in the trash!!
SO YES….it is happening!

Read the article in the Reporter-Herald. I read the article you cite. I don't see any mention of people collecting ballots.
So what exactly is untrue? Has the City Clerk not issued a warning? Has the Reporter-Herald not reported on it? Does the article allege which side, if any, is involved? You don't have to look much further than the paper's website to validate these facts.

See! Industry tried to say this about the grassroots organization in Fort Collins last year! These people are as bad as big tobacco. We fell for that once- never again.

This is actually not true at all. I have been to a training with the Loveland group who is sponsoring the Get Out the Vote activities and I found them to be completely ethical, legal and honest. Last year in Fort Collins the same type report surfaced. As it turned out it was actually the industry sponsored opposition group paid canvassers responsible for the misrepresentation and it was designed to trick voters into not trusting the very trust worthy Moms, Dads and Grandma's and Grandpa's standing at their door to help make sure they knew where to exercise their right to vote. The only time a volunteer would ask for a ballot is if a elderly or homebound person needed assistance and volunteers take them directly to the court house.
Remember, it is the monied elite who turn to voter suppression when they feel threatened. Attempts to mischaracterize groups on a shoe string budget who's only intention is to take the time to make a educated choice about whether or how to allow fracking, a heavy industrial activity, right in their backyard are patently false and manipulative.
Stop trying to trick the people. Public health should come first, with so much at stake it makes sense to wait!
