Regarding ballot harvesting in California, since this practice seems to have caught everyone's attention, I'd like to provide information about who can and cannot engage in this practice, and how they can do so:
Non-citizens are permitted to collect ballots and as long as they are not compensated on a per ballot basis.
Foreign nationals are permitted to collect ballots as long as they are not compensated on a per ballot basis.
A labor union member is permitted to collect ballots as long as they are not compensated on a per ballot basis.
A church member is permitted to collect ballots as long as they are not compensated on a per ballot basis.
A campaign may hire a private outside vendor to collect ballots as long as they are not compensated on a per ballot basis.
The ballot harvesting law makes no mention of what type of storage medium is allowed or prohibited. In other words, the law is silent on whether a ballot collection box can be used.
A vote by mail voter may designate any person to return their ballot.
A ballot shall not be disqualified from being counted solely because it was returned or mailed more than 3 days after the designated person received it from the voter.
This is the law democrats passed.
That they are now outraged republicans have adjusted to and are abiding by the new rules is laughable.

I see the Secretary of State isn’t happy about republicans using the ballot harvesting law that democrats passed. Allow me to clarify what the law allows:
A vote by mail ballot collected by a ballot harvester does NOT have to include the name or signature of the harvester on the identification envelope in order to be valid.
A ballot harvester is NOT required to document the vote by mail ballots chain of custody in any way.

I’m seeing lots of inane chatter from democrats today about how half of CA’s forest are federal lands, and therefore that’s where all the blame should go regarding our fires. Nonsense. Allow me to explain...
Radical environmentalist groups have destroyed our forests with the help of the spineless legislators who refuse to stand up to them, for fear of losing the coveted “A” rating.
For decades they have blocked legislation to thin forests, allow timber harvesting, brush removal and controlled burns.

California’s energy demands cannot be met with 100% solar energy. California makes enough solar power for 7.8 M homes. That’s not enough for every home, much less businesses.
That solar power provides only 20% of the state’s need. Also, Mt. Diablo nuclear plant, which is clean alternative energy, is being shuttered. Mt. Diablo made enough power for 1.7M homes.
Solar goes from producing 18% of the electricity on the power grid at 4:00pm to ZERO percent at 9:00pm.

“Tool box killer" Lawrence Bittaker and partner Roy Norris called their van "Murder Mack", it had no windows so they could hide the young girls they kidnapped as they cruised up and down Pacific Coast Highway in the first half of 1979.#nojustice MM
16-year-old Cindy Schaeffer was picked up by the pair near Redondo Beach. Norris forced into the van, duct taped her mouth and bound her arms and legs. Bittaker drove her to the San Gabriel Mountains where both men raped her.
Bittaker then wrapped a wire coat hanger around her neck, tightened it with vice-grip pliers and strangled her to death. Afterward, they dumped her body in canyon.
