California GOP Says It Owns Unofficial Ballot Drop Boxes
Boxes were reported in Fresno, Los Angeles and Orange counties at locations including political party offices, candidate headquarters and churches.
By Amy Taxin • Published 6 hours ago • Updated 3 hours ago

California’s Republican Party has acknowledged owning unofficial ballot drop boxes that state election officials say are illegal.

California election officials received reports this weekend about the boxes in Fresno, Los Angeles and Orange counties. On Sunday, the secretary of state issued a memo telling county registrars the boxes are illegal and ballots must be mailed or brought to official voting locations.
NOTICE THAT THE ILLEGAL BOX SAYS OFFICIAL

1. How is this not resulting in big trouble for these a-holes?

[malaise]

2. They will - the good news

People are watching everywhere

[Kablooie]

24. They are Republicans. Puny laws don't apply to them.

They know that the law takes years to prosecute a case like this and if this helps Trump remain president they will have nothing to worry about.

[MagickMuffin]

3. Devin N even stated it is illegal but that's how they "win"

This IS ELECTION FRAUD!


Lock them the f'up now!

[Gothmog]

4. This is illegal

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/10/12/california-illegal-ballot-boxes/

But those containers, which were first reported by the Orange County Register and KCAL, are not county-authorized ballot drop-off sites. In fact, the unofficial boxes are against the law, state officials said Sunday.

See https://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/ccrov/pdf/2020/october/20240jl.pdf

In addition to the prohibition of providing non-official vote-by-mail ballot drop boxes, any
person (not including county or state elections officials) providing a drop box, whether or
not it is identified as “official” or “unofficial,” may be in violation of Elections Code
section 18575, which states:
Every person is guilty of a felony, and on conviction shall be punished by
imprisonment pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170 of the Penal Code for
two, three or four years, who at any election:
(a) Without first having been appointed and qualified, acts as an election officer.
(b) Not being an election officer, performs or discharges any of the duties of an
election officer in regard to the handling, counting, or canvassing of any ballots.
Accordingly, providing any unauthorized or non-official vote-by-mail ballot drop box may
constitute a violation of Elections Code section 18575 and other laws.

5. Maybe they INTENTIONALLY want

The courts involved? That's my guess.

7. Sec of state - see the NBC link I added

[demosincebirth]

6. These shitholes will stop a nothing. They have no conscience

[Hoyt]

8. From article I read in the Guardian, sounds like the boxes are being placed

at GOPer campaign headquarters, GOP party offices, Churches proud to be affiliated with Republicans. Let em use them, then destroy the ballots.

[whistler162]

13. Sounds like you are a good Republican!

[Hoyt]

23. Sounds like you ought to do some research before pounding your keyboard.

[niyad]

32. WOW. Because the poster referenced an article in the Guardian? WTH????

[chriscan64]

14. My guess at the ulterior motive.

Have idiot republicans use them for ballots, they are not official so don't get picked up, the party shows up with uncounted Trump ballots and cries foul. They would have to sacrifice votes, but Biden would win California anyway.

[Ahpook]

19. That and a few showing up in other states

Is just enough to cause trouble for the election as a whole.

I can see it coming after these ballots are "found" and they start their bullshit about it.

This is exactly what they are doing.

Such fine Christians!

[SoCalNative]

20. Also

in front of gun shops.

[TeamPooka]

9. I say we move to dissolve the CA GOP for this. They can't be trusted not to cheat.

[Ms. Toad]

15. Is this the ballot harvesting that Devin Nunes was yammering on about? n/t

[malaise]

16. I think so

but the media response is frightening. This should be a huge story.

Where are the arrests and where else is this going on?

21. Hmmm. Orange County. Wonder if a politician named Bernosky had anything to do with it. nt

[malaise]

26. Rachel just said that cease and desist letters were sent to the California

GOP

[groundloop]

22. GOPers need polling locations with easy access to voters, but will deny the same for us

The motherfuckers want to accommodate THEIR voters while at the same time making it difficult for Democrats to vote by disallowing drop off locations, moving polling places at the last minute, removing voting machines, and whatever other dirty tricks they can think of. They're admitting that we need to make it easier to vote, but this should be for EVERYONE and not just those who live in red districts.

[JDC]

25. Red States illegally remove Blue States illegally add

All an effort to fuck up a free and fair election.

They are traitors to this nation.
