Unofficial ballot drop boxes that have appeared throughout Southern California are legal, state GOP officials say, but the Attorney General and Secretary of State have sent a cease and desist order to the California Republican Party demanding their removal.
Discoveries of the unofficial ballot drop boxes in Orange, Los Angeles, and Fresno counties have prompted concern from state and local election officials, and the Orange County District Attorney, since they first appeared. The DA’s Office told The Epoch Times that it has opened an investigation and said significant charges are possible for those who set them up.
