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.

You are correct on the first part - if the ballot has a designated person, they can be harvested. The illegal part is putting out these boxes & labeling them as "Official"..
This is not a good look for the Republicans & I hope it doesn't cost us any votes. I am in one of the districts - CA48 & it it is being called a very tight race. Although, I haven't seen any polls.
Apparently one was put at a gun shop & another at a church. Both good ideas if the owner & pastor was collecting the ballots legally & ensuring they would get to the registrar.
The bad part is labeling hem as “Official’ boxes.
So desparate, elite Democrats are having trash cans disguised as brop boxes.
Send “Orange Man Bad” federal and state government desperate Democrats home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a “third term” in office imo.
I don’t see any problem with voting Republican ticket for 2020 elections.
Insights welcome.
not with a mandatory minimum.
Trump should announce this NOW - even if it never gets passed before the election, it might scare some of them.
I am tired of this crap. A slap on the wrist followed by a standing ovation at a Democrat gathering. the are actually CHEERING people who commit voter fraud.
The problem is, the damage has already been done. Has there EVER been an election overturned after it was shown to be gained by fraud? NEVER. The means justify the ends.
100% agree. Announce it NOW and run it as an ad. Mandatory prison time for voter fraud. Thinking about it? Better think twice.
overturned after it was shown to be gained by fraud? NEVER.
IIRC, there was a recent election in New Jersey that was invalidated by a judge.
California will never allow a Republican to hold any office again so this is no surprise.
