Just as GOP argues, that the kidnapping and "accidental" murder of an American governor
during a "citizen arest, is perfectly legal, the GOP argues that unofficial, mis-labeled pretend
ballot boxes are legal.

Operating unofficial ballot drop boxes—especially those misrepresented as official drop boxes-
is not just misleading to voters, it's a violation of state law," California Secretary of State Alex
Padilla said in a statement responding to reports of unauthorized ballot drop boxes in Fresno,
Los Angeles, and Orange counties

Mis-representation (They are not official)

This has been going on for at least three days

“Reports place such boxes at local political party offices, candidate headquarters and churches.”

So whose votes are more likely to be found within?

 

[LLCox]

^ all the sudden the GOP will find a bunch of ballots that never got counted. It's an early harvest and a Nov. surprise for the repukes to lay on the election count.

UPDATE:
The California attorney general issued cease-and-desist orders to the state
Republican party, ordering them to remove the unauthorized boxes

Americans are expected to believe that Trump supporters are to be trusted with election
ballots (Has the whole year featured stories in the media and press, about voter suppresion ?)

Yes, yes, yes!

Update:
Trump supporters refuse to remove un-official ballot boxes Refuse to comply AG orders
to remove them

State Attorney General Xavier Becerra and Secretary of State Alex Padilla on
Monday issued an order to the California GOP and three county chapters requiring
the removal of unofficial ballot drop boxes erected in front of locations like gyms,
gun stores and churches that were falsely marked "official."

Padilla and Becerra on Monday argued that the California GOP's recent placement
of unauthorized drop boxes in Fresno, Los Angeles and Orange counties differs
from Democratic “ballot harvesting” efforts because voters assume their ballot
will be delivered via an official-looking mechanism — all without signing their ballots.

They demanded GOP campaign officials stop using private containers marked as
“official” drop boxes, saying official boxes are subject to state security standards
and can only be installed by county registrars.

California GOP defends use of unofficial ballot boxes

Los Angeles Times

Ralph Reed (Greedy Evangelical Money Weasel ) caught boasting about his plans
to "harvest ballots" from all church ballot boxes (not just his favorite mega-church)

Leaked videos show Trump allies boasting about ballot harvesting — which the president decried as fraud

Leaked videos taken from inside a secretive right-wing organization show many top conservative operatives openly advocating ballot harvesting during the 2020 presidential election, even as President Donald Trump accused Democrats of using such tactics to steal elections.

The Washington Post reports that the videos show longtime evangelical operative Ralph Reed boasting of his plans to harvest ballots from multiple places of worship for the benefit of Republican candidates.

-snip-

J. Christian Adams, a former Justice Department official and the president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, was also shown on video attacking mail-in voting, which he said he wanted to stop by any means necessary.

“Be not afraid of the accusations that you’re a voter suppressor, you’re a racist and so forth,” he said as he encouraged conservatives to go out of their way to block mail-in ballots.

(CN) — The California attorney general has asked a judge to enforce subpoenas served on the California Republican Party, to order the removal of unofficial ballot drop boxes placed across the state and to turn over the names of voters who used the boxes.

This month, California Republicans arranged unofficial drop boxes in at least three counties outside places of worship and campaign headquarters.

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra and California Secretary of State Alex Padilla sent cease and desist letters last week to Republican chairs across the state, demanding the removal of the boxes as well as information on the locations and number of boxes. They also asked the California GOP to return any ballots cast in the unofficial boxes to local election officials.

Republicans have no morals

They would quickly gain some if they were being rounded up and jailed, pending charges for violating voter rules! Why aren't the GOP County heads being arrested for this?

Silly Dems!
