The California Republican Party is making headlines around the world this week for almost every reason nobody would ever want to happen. According to state officials and the Attorney General’s office, officials are dancing with GOP officials over the use of illegally planted ballot collection boxes that nobody’s quite sure where ballots would end up if they end up being used.
Multiple reports out Thursday now show that the GOP Party has rejected the demands made in a cease-and-desist letter to remove the boxes that have been found (so far) in at least four California counties. Those counties span Los Angeles to Ventura.
Part of the letter from the GOP party in California to AG officials reads as follows:
“The California Republican Party did not promote, or authorize the promotion of, the secure boxes as ‘official mail drop boxes,'” the letter states. “When we learned that a sign using the word ‘official’ was used in some locations on Saturday, October, 10, 2020, we corrected that error immediately and within hours.”
Now whether or not you believe that may be purely subjective. Tampering with an election in any format including ballots is a federal crime in the United States.
