No surprise. In its official response to the @CASOSvote, the @CAGOP says it will continue with its ballot box program.
But this is new: The letter points to "a similar program" run by the @HarleyRouda (Dem congressman in OC) referred to as "neighborhood ballot hubs."pic.twitter.com/m5Wz9VF20K
From the Rouda volunteer sheet attached to the letter (I haven't verified), the hubs are places where voters can "drop off their ballots" (e.g someone's front yard) "staffed by a volunteer ballot collector...Organizers will pick up the collected ballots at the end of the day."
Why it matters: One of @CASOSvote's main objections to the GOP project is that if voters drop their ballot in a privately managed box, it's not clear who is actually taking responsibility for those ballots. (in election legalese, there's not a clear "chain of custody")
The "volunteer ballot collector" at the Rouda campaign's ballot hubs would preserve that chain of custody. But then, again according to the handout, someone else from the campaign picks up the ballots. What happens to the chain of custody then, asks the CAGOP?
More to the point, the CAGOP argues: How is that different from a local GOP party staff member going to fetch ballots from one of the party's boxes that's been placed inside a church or a gun shop? I reached out to the Rouda campaign but haven't heard back yet.
Not surprised, are you? Anything goes in CA, unless it has @GOP written on it.
The difference is there's a chain of custody and people are aware. Not a random black box in front of @MichelleSteelCA office
They also appeared to be keeping track of things. The @CAGOP had no one even attending some of the boxes and they said "official" when they were not at all
You know, I'm gonna have to unfollow. You are just repeating back press releases. Your job is to analyze and provide details on this news. Are the programs similar, not really.
I'm certain this is how Democrats flipped multiple close races to their favor in 2018.
