President Donald Trump on Tuesday urged Republicans in California to push back against an order demanding the immediate removal of their ballot drop boxes.

“You mean only Democrats are allowed to do this? Haven’t the Dems been doing this for years?” Trump wrote on Twitter, encouraging local and state Republicans to defend the legitimacy of their ballot drop boxes. “See you in court. Fight hard Republicans!”
