4. SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- The term "ballot harvesting" is all over the news after the California Republic

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The term “ballot harvesting” is all over the news after the California Republican Party admitted to placing "unofficial" ballot drop boxes in a number of counties around the state.

Elections officials say it is illegal, but Republicans argue the drop boxes are a legal form of ballot collection.

Kim Alexander, president and founder of the California Voter Foundation, said ballot harvesting is also known as “third party ballot return” and it allows a designated person to deliver a voter’s ballot for them. The process isn’t new but how it’s conducted and what is allowed has changed over the years.

5. It's illegal in Pennsylvania.

I think Governor Wolfe (D) got semi busted for it - his wife dropped off his mail-in ballot.

Wolf describes having wife drop off ballot as honest mistake
November 5, 2021
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf said his mail-in ballot was dropped off by his wife before Tuesday’s election despite a state law requirement that voters deliver them in person.

Wolf’s spokeswoman Beth Rementer called it an honest mistake.

“I did vote, actually I voted by mail,” Wolf said Tuesday on KDKA radio. When an interviewer told him the ballot was due in the York County elections office by the end of Election Day, he said first lady Frances Wolf delivered it.

“My wife actually dropped it off personally two weeks ago, so it’s there,” he said.

RW made a stink but nothing came of it. I'm sure thousands of spouses or family members drop off their relatives ballots. I know my wife mailed mine and her mother's who is 85 and won't leave the house due to Covid concerns.
