What that woman was paid to do, interestingly enough, is legal in CA and may have been the single reason that Orange county flipped from GOP stronghold to total Dem control. The woman in the story is witness to 28 absentee ballots. CA collected 5,000,000.
All the Orange County California congressional elections won by republicans swung from GOP wins to Dem wins after the election and the winners announced due to a record flood of absentee/provisional ballots after voting had already concluded, and nobody gave a shit. But this is news.
Here's a mix of sources (one left, one right) for the claim above, BTW.
Whether Democrats have a clear edge is debatable. Whats not is that vote counts in California now routinely stretch long beyond Election Day. A stunning five million ballots, or more than 40 percent of the overall total, were counted after Nov. 6. Some counties still are tabulating ballots.
Fred Whitaker, who heads the Orange County GOP, said in an email that an unprecedented number of ballots dropped off on Election Day in the county more than 250,000 was a direct result of ballot harvesting ... that directly caused the switch from being ahead on election night to losing two weeks later.
In Orange County once seen as a Republican stronghold in the state every House seat went to a Democrat after an unprecedented 250,000 vote-by-mail drop-offs were counted, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
That's not the same thing that is alledged to have happened in NC, but I can see why you're deflecting to "REEEEE MUH LIBERAL CALIFORNIA!" because the GOP is, once again, showing that they don't play by the rules in elections and will do anything to steal races.
There's a reason why multiple different courts across multiple states in numerous different years have found the Republican party engaging in these types of tactics. This isn't some one time thing that is being created now, this is a systematic thing that the court of law has found one side guilty of a hell of a lot more, and more recently, than the other side. ---
