“Ballot harvesting” was legalized in California in 2016, and first used in the 2018 midterm elections. It allows anyone to drop off someone else’s mail-in ballot at a polling station. There is no process for vetting or verifying those delivering the ballots — no background checks or identification requirements. Democrats dropped hundreds of thousands of ballots off at polling stations in 2018, helping Democrats as they flipped seven Republican seats.
The practice is illegal in most other states, largely because it is susceptible to fraud and intimidation. Republicans were caught flat-footed in 2018; they have experimented with the tactic in recent special elections, only to find the their voters adamantly refuse to give their ballots to strangers. Democrats are more open to the practice — often became the “harvester” also registers the voter, according to Republican National Committeeman Shawn Steel.
California’s “ballot harvesting” law has yet to be challenged in court. It is one reason that California remains a one-party state, with little prospect for change in the foreseeable future.

Yep. Turtle has to hold the line on this or there will be no line in any branch of the government after the next election.
I really do believe it will be Trump V Cuomo ..but sill a lot of time left for Andrew to screw up Fredo Style.
Where is the lawsuit against CA for ballot harvesting? Where is all the news/talk radio screaming about it and about Pelosi including BALLOT STUFFING
Into emergency legislation??? This is what I hate about the Republican party. They just roll over and play dead and the dems do what they want. Drives me nuts.
Minnesota does it one better. Positions “abandoned” cars in rural areas with packaged ballots in the trunk, already pre marked.
And then in 2010 I found out I already voted when I was at the polling place. Can’t let a white Repug mofo vote twice donchaknow.
Is this for real?
Okay, maybe it’s me, but I think they are doing this to force him to veto it.
For political attack ammunition.
That has to be it.
Agree 100%
We're watching them play political chicken over the coronavirus.
They want us dead.
I love when Nancy Pelosi prays to Saint Joseph to appeal to her base and then conspires with Planned Parenthood to kill as many unborn babies as possible. She is a demon of the lowest order.
A predictable old bag of a killer.
