SACRAMENTO, Calif. With more than 1.5 million votes already cast in California, state Republican Party leaders on Wednesday said they will not comply with an order from the state's chief elections official to remove unofficial ballot drop boxes from counties with competitive U.S. House races. Secretary of State Alex Padilla and Attorney General Xavier Becerra, both Democrats, say these unofficial ballot drop boxes are illegal and have ordered Republicans to remove them by Thursday. They worry voters will confuse these Republican boxes with the official ballot drop boxes put in place and monitored by county election officials. Hiltachk said all of the party's drop boxes are indoors either at county party headquarters, churches or retailers that have agreed to participate. He says the boxes are locked and monitored by people. --- I am Mogar, God of Irony and The Devourer of Topics. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The fact that it is a box does not make it illegal," Hiltachk said. "If we have to use a bag, then we'll use a bag." --- I am Mogar, God of Irony and The Devourer of Topics. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I wouldn't trust the GOP to take my trash out to the curb, let alone relay my ballot to the state board of elections.

The worst part of all of this is when the law was being debated republicans brought up the fact that someone could do something like this, and the concerns were waived away.

yes. the President isn't only the political office that's on the ballot. there are plenty of members of the House of Representatives from California who are Republican, and there are plenty of districts in California that, as the article plainly states, are competitive i.e. could reasonably go to either a Republican or Democratic candidate. and as we have all plainly witnessed over the past weeks and months, Republicans are not above committing several types of attempted vote manipulation and voter fraud in an attempt to stay relevant in an ever increasingly progressive political climate, even while they cry foul at the Democrats for supposedly doing the same thing but worse, when that is demonstrably false.Well said. --- CyricZ ...
