California GOP installed unofficial ballot drop-off boxes. State officials say they’re illegal.

Time to do muh duty and drop a deuce in dem.

 

the trash Trumpers on the right won’t try to defend this...they simply do not care, and actually support this type of behavior...that is unless a Democrat were to do it...then there’d be a bunch of fake pearl clutching and faking like they have morals and principles

 

This should be, and I hope it is, a crime.

People need to go to jail for this.

The California Republican Party is operating unofficial ballot drop boxes that Secretary of State Alex Padilla said on Sunday were in "violation of state law.".

"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."
"My office is coordinating with local officials to address the multiple reports of unauthorized ballot drop boxes. Californians should only use official ballot drop boxes
that have been deployed and secured by their county elections office."
​

Jordan Tygh, a regional field director for the California Republican Party, promoted an "official ballot drop off box" on Twitter and urged followers to message him for "convenient locations" to drop their ballots last week, The Orange County Register first reported. One voter reported an "Official Ballot Drop Box" that was "approved and bought by the GOP" outside of a Los Angeles area church before it was removed after county officials warned on social media that it was "not an official vote by mail drop box and does not comply with [state] regulations for drop boxes," according to KCAL.

Republicans will die or goto prison for their party
But
Not for their country

Rocket River

 

Yeah, they've already confessed. The facts of this case are apparently not up for debate. The only question is if people go to jail and how many go to jail.

****wads.

 

But, but, but, it's mail-in voting that will be the most fraudulent ever, like, in history.

 

It's interesting that they are ballot harvesting, something that they have falsely accused Dems of doing in other states.

 

Republicans come up with some really stupid ideas and then they broadcast these really stupid ideas publically.

 

I posted about this in a different thread. Should've checked first to see if there was already a thread about it.

 

will those votes be counted or tossed out? if its an unofficial box then imo they should be tossed.

trumpublicans are truly garbage people and hypocrites of the highest order. they whine about the election being rigged, but they are the ones doing the rigging...their leader trump even called for his supporters to vote twice in north carolina.

again, garbage people and hypocrites...no morals, no values, no integrity.

 

Remember just last month they were accusing Ilhan Omar of ballot harvesting.

Project Veritas Video Was a ‘Coordinated Disinformation Campaign,’ Researchers Say
The timing of the deceptive video, which accuses Ilhan Omar of voter fraud, indicates that several conservatives, including Donald Trump Jr., may have known about it in advance.

A deceptive video released on Sunday by the conservative activist James O’Keefe, which claimed through unidentified sources and with no verifiable evidence that Representative Ilhan Omar’s campaign had collected ballots illegally, was probably part of a coordinated disinformation effort, according to researchers at Stanford University and the University of Washington.

Mr. O’Keefe and his group, Project Veritas, appear to have made an abrupt decision to release the video sooner than planned after The New York Times published a sweeping investigation of President Trump’s taxes, the researchers said. They also noted that the timing and metadata of a Twitter post in which Mr. Trump’s son shared the video suggested that he might have known about it in advance.

Project Veritas had hyped the video on social media for several days before publishing it. In posts amplified by other prominent conservative accounts, Mr. O’Keefe teased what he said was evidence of voter fraud, and urged people to sign up at “ballot-harvesting.com” to receive the supposed evidence when it came out. (None of the material in the video actually proved voter fraud.)

Mr. O’Keefe’s promotional posts had said the video would be released on Monday, but Project Veritas released it on Sunday instead, a few hours after the publication of The Times’s investigation. The researchers concluded that this timing was unlikely to be a coincidence “given the huge marketing about a 9/28 release date,” they wrote in an analysis that Alex Stamos, who led the research team at the Stanford Internet Observatory, shared with The Times.

“It’s a great example of what a coordinated disinformation campaign looks like: pre-seeding the ground and then simultaneously hitting from a bunch of different accounts at once,” Mr. Stamos said.

Many of the same accounts that had shared promotional tweets also shared the video as soon as it was released, moving it quickly into Twitter’s trending topics alongside The Times’s tax investigation.

Roughly an hour after The Times published its article, Mike Lindell, chief executive of MyPillow and honorary chairman of Mr. Trump’s Minnesota campaign, tweeted a video of himself saying that Project Veritas’s supposed exposé would be released that night at 9 p.m. Eastern time.

“I just met James O’Keefe of Project Veritas, and James showed me footage of systematic voter fraud,” Mr. Lindell said. He did not respond to a request for comment on Tuesday.

Mr. O’Keefe posted the video on Twitter at 9 p.m. on the dot, and the president’s son Donald Trump Jr. tweeted it just seven minutes later. Two minutes after that, the president’s “war room” account retweeted him, and the president himself soon began commenting.

Notably, the video that the younger Mr. Trump posted did not have the “from James O’Keefe” label that appeared when other Twitter users shared the video uploaded by Mr. O’Keefe.

Asked for comment, the Trump campaign said that Donald Trump Jr. had received a downloadable link to the video after it was publicly released. It did not comment on Mr. Lindell’s post or on the timing of the video’s release, and a spokesman for the younger Mr. Trump did not respond to a request for comment.

The video contains footage of a man, identified as Liban Mohamed, showing off ballots he says he has collected for a Minneapolis City Council candidate — something that, depending on when the video was filmed, may not have been illegal, because a district court judge in July temporarily suspended Minnesota’s ban on third parties collecting and returning large numbers of completed ballots. Mr. Mohamed was not working for Ms. Omar.

The video then claims that Democratic operatives connected to Ms. Omar’s campaign paid voters to hand over blank mail-in ballots and filled them out. This would be illegal, but the allegations come solely from unnamed people who speak with Project Veritas operatives in the video and whose faces are not shown.

On Monday, the Minneapolis Police Department said it was “looking into the validity” of the claims in the video, which a spokesman for Ms. Omar described as “a coordinated right wing effort to delegitimize a free and fair election.”

Mr. O’Keefe and Project Veritas have a long history of releasing manipulated or selectively edited footage purporting to show illegal conduct by Democrats and liberal groups.

The researchers reported the video to multiple social media platforms. Facebook added a link to its “voting information center” to one upload of the video but placed no notice on the original upload. Twitter, YouTube and Reddit took no action. TikTok was the only platform that removed all uploads of the video.

 

The so-called party of "law and order" is now refusing a legal directive to stop...

 

project veritas has a long history of corrupt efforts like this... and always amazes me that republicans continue to prop them up for what they do...

 

Nobody should ever trust anything from them.

 

I guess it was a matter of time. SMDH.

They literally will no longer respect laws and regulations unless those laws and regulations are administered by people directly in their tribal group. I don't see how you maintain a basic governed society that way. It's a really awful move by Cal GOP, definitely desperate. Hopefully crap like this can stop if the GOP gets a strong enough signal in the election.

I really sympathize with the state AG and law enforcement. You could jail these turkeys, but it just feeds the GOP's already whackadoodle political persecution complex. Sad days. Hope the Limbaughs of the world look on with pride at the disintegration and shine their new shiny medals from the King of Disinformation himself.

 

wow...it’s time to crack heads

If they can arrest and charge these mofos, do so immediately.

enough of this sh*t
