Officials said the California secretary of state’s office has received several reports in recent days of possibly illegal drop boxes for ballots in three counties.
Secretary of State Alex Padilla’s office said it is coordinating with local officials to investigate the reports of unauthorized boxes in Orange, Los Angeles and Fresno counties, according to the Orange County Register.
“Operating unofficial ballot drop boxes — especially those misrepresented as official drop boxes — is not just misleading to voters, it’s a violation of state law,” Padilla said in a statement.
The boxes have reportedly been sighted in locations such as churches and local political parties’ offices, the Register noted. Ballot drop boxes are under the jurisdiction of county election officials, according to the newspaper, which added that a felony conviction for operating unauthorized boxes can carry a sentence of up to four years.

LOL! I want to set some of these up in liberal areas. I would need to make them look super similar to the official ones, but could call them a “satellite” box.
I like this idea.
Might this be chicanery?
And?
“Up to for years”!!??
It should be a mandatory minimum 10 years jail for any government fraud, including vote fraud
These boxes were set up by the Republicans.
Actually according to article a Republican was photographed in front of the box. The article seemed to suggest the Republicans were pushing putting ballots in unofficial ballot boxes.
It dern sure might be, committed by some poltroon!!
bttt
What district were they in?
My district - CA48 for one.
It is R Michelle Steel vs incumbent Dim Harley Rouda. It is one of the districts in Orange County, CA to be flipped from R to D in 2016 - after weeks of counting.
It dern sure might be, committed by some poltroon!!

Or scalawag.
If I were a Democrat scammer, I would set one off these up and tell the media I was a Republican, too.
Yeah, it’s funny how they count over and over and over until the democrat wins... then stop
Wanna stop this crap? Public hanging... or a bullet. Extreme measures eliminate current and future bad behavior.
California allows “ballot harvesting”, where anybody can go to an apartment complex, and walk through asking people if they want them to deliver their ballots.
So republicans put out these boxes, to collect ballots to then carry in, i.e. harvesting. But the democrats in charge claim this is illegal, although they did not cite the part of the law that makes this illegal, but knocking on doors legal.
Would it be against the law to put out a box that just said, “drop ballats here”?
And yes, the misspelling is intentional. :)
