Democrats in Sacramento have been rewriting election laws to help their party “ballot harvest.” But now Republicans have figured out how to play the same game, and Democratic state leaders are threatening legal action.
In 2016 California Democrats passed a law allowing anybody, including paid campaign operatives and political parties, to collect and return mail-in ballots. Two years later Democrats prohibited “disqualifying a ballot solely because the person returning it did not provide on the identification envelope his or her name, relationship to the voter, or signature.”
We oppose ballot harvesting because it invites mischief and undermines public confidence in elections. Democrats dismiss these concerns and argue that ballot harvesting increases voter access. Ballot integrity isn’t among their priorities.
In 2018 Orange County Registrar Neal Kelley reported campaign volunteers were dropping off hundreds of ballots. Democrats boasted that they used ballot harvesting to flip seven House seats in California that year including four in Orange County. Before this year’s March primary, hospitality unions threw a “ballot party” for workers outside of Anaheim hotels.
If they couldn’t stop these practices, Republicans decided to join them. They’ve also learned to harvest ballots more efficiently by setting up drop boxes at shooting ranges, churches, gun shops and GOP offices. The boxes, which are locked and supervised, received permission from the site hosts.
Democrats are suddenly alarmed. The state Attorney General and Secretary of State offices last week sent a letter to local GOP leaders alleging that their “unofficial drop boxes” violate state law and threatened legal action and criminal penalties. GOP leaders replied that one “overzealous” volunteer had wrongly labeled a drop box “official,” but the mistake was isolated and fixed within hours.

How sad for the leftists, they have to eat their own dog food.
Liberals are the missing link. They haven’t evolved enough to use their Brains like conservatives have.
Bend over democrats, the doctor will be in to see you shortly.
Sauce for the goose.........................
If a Republican forgets to cross one t, dot one i, he’d be assured of doing immediate hard time. I’m sure the dems will work to set up Republicans who might intrude on this dem MO. Round up some republicans, put ‘em in jail to deter any future uppity Republicans.
Democrats never figure the fact we are not as lazy as they are....
It's a dog-eat-dog-food world out there.
Turn-about is fair play. Suck it biotches.
The surprising thing is that CA Republicans have grown a pair.
Must be the “Trump effect”!!!!
Tit for tat...
Now they have resorted to burning the street ballot collection boxes. 2020 will not end well. JMHO!
Yeah I am surprised and pleased too.
Hope it pays off.
Well, guess what? We've eaten enough of their $#*+ that we're going to start throwing it back at them. Plus we own most of the guns.
I liked Alex Lifeson’s RRHOF speech better.
Democrats have never, ever learned the law of unintended consequences. To wit, they are powerless to stop Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court.
Democrats, in general, have no guiding principles. They bend like blades in tall grass, whichever way the wind blows. It’s all about whatever suits their pursuit of power at the moment.
I have been saying the gop needs to stop crying and start adapting the rats methods
