The 2018 election in North Carolina's 9th congressional district, initially won by a Republican, was subsequently voided as a result of widespread illegal ballot harvesting: so it's totally false that there's "no evidence" of fraud related to the practice

In 2018, the LA Times editorialized that a ballot collection law enacted in CA two years before "does open the door to coercion and fraud and should be fixed or repealed," but feel free to have an angry meltdown over this issue for whatever bizarre reason

The issue with "ballot harvesting" is not so much fraud (although that's documented to have happened across party lines) but that it introduces the potential for coercion -- by anyone from unions to church groups -- and erodes the protections/privacy afforded by the secret ballot
Odd that "progressives," or anyone really, would be so cavalier about questions of coercion and chain-of-custody related to the secret ballot -- especially given that so much of the country is converting to an entirely new election administration system this year
This resolution is consistent with Tulsi's longstanding approach to election integrity issues (whenever "Russian interference" came up she'd ask why there wasn't more support for voter-verified paper ballots) but a lot of people just hate her because she's not a reflexive radlib
