Posting from my phone so can't search, and way too late to post in LBN but an article from yesterday points out an unofficial drop-box in front of a church in LA County

Use real official drop boxes. Do I trust Christians? Not really.

5. BALLOT CONFUSION: Some Canyon Country locals are concerned after a pastor at a local church ...

I haven't looked into this, but it's possible that there was no ill intent, and that the pastor was trying to help people cast a ballot, not thwart them from casting a ballot.

It turns out I'm wrong.

The registrar’s office told KCAL9 they are trying to reach Pastor Cook and are working with counsel to issue a cease and desist letter. However, the drop box is already gone.

Other posts on the church’s website show it hosting a forum for Republican local candidates and criticizing the Black Lives Matter movement. With that in mind, some locals said they are suspicious of what the church’s intentions were with the box.
