The same “ballot harvesting” scam that is legal in CA that resulted in a bunch of Republicans losing their house seats. It’s not a scandal when the Rats profit from it.

dem ballot harvesting was also in full swing in georgia & florida 2018 elections
Wasn’t the infiltrator outed as a former Dem operative? This was likely a ‘dirty tricks’ move. But didn’t one of Harris’ family members tell him that it was going on?
