also reported that the Fresno County Republican Party had on its website a list of"secure" ballot drop-off locations, including its own offices, gun shops and other businesses. None were official county drop box sites. As of Monday evening, that list appeared to have been removed from the party's website.
In a series of tweets on Monday night posted by the California Republican Party and attributed to Barajas, the state GOP defended its position at greater length,in part:"In California, where you can have convicted felons and individuals with a criminal history go door to door and collect ballots from voters, Democrats are now upset because organizations, individuals and groups are offering an opportunity for their friends, family and patrons to drop off their ballot with someone they know...
DON’T BECOME A VICTIM: Unauthorized ballot drop boxes are illegal. Voters have multiple safe options for returning their ballot: by mail, in-person voting locations, or any official ballot drop box. Find one in your county:
Why are local democratic leaders that have boxes in their area having them removed. Do something!!!!
How about sending law enforcement to remove the damned boxes?
Every faction of the GOP, including both the SenateGOP+the HouseGOP in all their complicit glory, have forever altered American Voting. Why are the Republicans allowed to pick these boxes back up? And giving them until THURSDAY to do so?! Just take them down immediately!
Find a list of official drop box locations in your state at VOTE
Lock them up, the boxes and the CA GOP.
How about they arrest them for election fraud?
Please share this with all your California folks:
arghavan_salles WTF STOP FUCKING CHEATING.rigged elections. dumprump
Briguythewise So if it's illegal to have unauthorized ballot boxes, why CA govt. Warning GOP remove these votes rather than charging them with crime?
This is another ill attempt by Trump and his supporters to 'prove' that mail in ballots 'have voter fuard written all over them' when that is totally not true and they should be arrested, charged, tried and sentence to prison for illegally disrupting the voting process.
Arrest these criminal GOP scum lords. Election fraud, treason, and abdication of constitutional oath.
And care to explain the law at all? By the sounds of the article what they are doing isn't illegal.
They corrupted the postal service now this ?
Can someone explain to me please, why putting your own ballot boxes is not a criminal activity and why these people are not arrested for this? Are both parties using this method? Is that the reason?
LOL just another form of “Ballot Harvesting”
Jail time!
DT has been screaming “rigged election’” for months...while the GOP is literally in broad daylight RIGGING THE ELECTION!! lockthemup
The GOP are so anti-American.
Yet ANOTHER Republican attempt to cheat. If JoeBiden cheats right - colluding with China to change Trump votes after they've been cast - we won't have to fret about weak attempts, like this one, to cheat thru the front door.
Press charges!! They knew what they were doing. Come on...
What happens to any ballots in those boxes? No article I’ve seen addresses that.
In Fresno County, please drop your ballot at the UUChurch of Fresno's LEGAL, OFFICIAL ballot drop box. Home of the church that ordained VancityReynolds Aviation Gin, and who refused to remove BLM banners and won the legal right to BE an official drop box. revtimuucf ACLU
These ppl need to be prosecuted.
Why don’t you bring charges against the GOP leadership for breaking the law!
Tell me again which party is trying to cheat.
Please share
And look who is cheating again, Republicans!
Destroy the ballots. Each state has a process that has to be followed. I think I will put a box on my front lawn.
The GOP. Working hard every day to be the corruption and dysfunction they decry in government.
Since they won’t stop, the only thing voters can do at this point is check online for official ballot drop boxes & only use those
so what is the next step?
Step 1. Install fake ballot drop boxes. Step 2. Get found out (see: this story). Step 3. Congratulations! You have sowed enough distrust in the ballot drop system that all people will think twice about using even legitimate drop boxes going forward. Engineered suppression.
Ask what happens to the ballots that are in the boxes!
Someone needs to go to jail over this.
Republicans are irony-impaired...and corrupt AF.
Hey, instead of sending a letter, maybe they should, I don’t know, ARREST THE PEOPLE WHO BROKE THE LAW?
Too many questions- 1) How is this even possible? 2) As this is a felony, who is charging GOP senators in California, and 3) is this a look the GOP is going for- republican senators arrested just before the election?
We have issues in the country. Continued mixed messaging by the current administration is scary. Mail in ballots are bad unless he does it. Drop boxes in TX are bad but really good in CA. Harvesting ballots is bad in MINN but good in CA. Effective at sowing doubt about the vote.
Commit voter fraud to own the libs. Good job Republicans! 🙄
Democrat California changed its rules before the 2018 midterm elections to allow people other than family members to collect and submit ballots. All the GOP is doing is playing the game as the Cali-Democrats have written the rules. Its NOT against the LAW
Less paper, more handcuffs
Did we ever doubt that these sleazy GOP crumbs would not do something like this? Lock them up!
Arrest them
This is not a “cease and decease” situation. This should be an FBI stake out of these boxes to catch the perpetrators of this crime. Or the chair of the CA Republican Party should be taken into custody for election tampering. The buck stops with him/her. GOPCesspool
We better see some prosecutions. This is not acceptable! VoteOutCorruptGOP
They should arrest them
Say what now How does a Party gain access to real ballot boxes and why isn't someone immediately in jail for this? ...and be well
By snail mail? Why aren’t they being picked up and the perpetrators arrested
Have you ever noticed that the GOP would rather folks not vote, and if they do that those votes not be counted? I wonder why? It's disgraceful.
A letter?! I'm sorry, but someone needs to go to jail, this is election fraud (full stop).
This is fraud. Arrest people.
In addition to a cease-and-desist, I hope they prosecute them. They belong in jail.
Yet a black woman went to jail for voting. She did not realize she was not eligible.
The harm is already done. This won’t be litigated in the courts for years after this election is already called.
Please continue to cover voter suppression efforts like this , the people need to see what Trump and his republican traitors are attempting to get away with.
Republicans are just criminals at this point.
How is someone not going to jail for this?
NPR is fighting to keep CA blue!!
I thought ballot harvesting is allowed in California, what's the problem?
That's not a cease and desist. That's a take them to jail do not pass go.
I’ll keep repeating. Go to your county website for the official drop box locations or look at the election materials you received in the mail. Please retweet to spread the word.
They got tired of being told there's no statistically relevant evidence of voter fraud. Took matters into their own hands.
Why are Republicans afraid of people voting?
