“The practice is legal in several states but largely illegal in the states True the Vote focused on”
The practice is ballot harvesting. It is legal in some states like California. It is illegal in MI, WI, AZ, GA and PA.
So, doing what these mules did was a crime. What they did was illegal.
The only way this will stop is to arrest the mules and charge them. Get them to flip on the Dem operatives that hired them. Prosecute them and put them in jail.
This was a coordinated effort across several states. Hence, the coordination of vote counting stoppage at 11pm on election night. That is racketeering. RICO laws were violated. US Federal district attorneys should be charging them. However, there are no Rudy Giuliani’s around anymore.
Ballot ‘harvesting’ in the sense of registered voters giving permission for third party handling of their ballot is legal (or at least was before the SCOTUS ruling?). No change in state law in any of these jurisdictions made organized crime/ballot trafficking legal.
