Defeated California Congressman says 'ballot harvesting' -- not Trump -- cost him re-election
Ballot harvesting is just another Republican excuse for why Rep. Jeff Denham (R-CA) lost by nearly 5 points.

Last month, the voters of California’s 10th congressional district rejected four-term Rep. Jeff Denham (R-CA) in the midterm elections, choosing Democrat Josh Harder 52.3 percent to 47.7 percent. He faced tough odds: his district had favored Hillary Clinton in 2016 by three percentage points, and he voted with Donald Trump 97.8 percent of the time over the past two years. But on Monday, Denham claimed that the only reason he lost is that Democrats collected too many mail-in ballots.
On MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Denham claimed that voters of his district actually loved the wildly unpopular Trump tax cuts that mostly benefited the very rich and large corporations. He said the average family of four saved $2,100 from the law, though most estimates put the figure closer to just $800.
Co-host Kasie Hunt pressed Denham on why he thought he lost if the tax cut were so popular in the California 10th. He blamed “ballot harvesting.”
“Ballot harvesting is legal now in California as of this last election. When you can find 250,000 ballots after election day, you can move a lot of different seats. My seat: we won early votes, we won absentee votes, we won Election Day votes,” Dunham said.
