Ballot harvesting in the Veritas video was about collecting blank ballots and marking them the way the harvesters wanted.
Whereas in California, ballot harvesting is a law written by and passed by democrats about collecting voters marked and sealed ballots and turning them in unopened to election officials.
Completely different use of the word 'harvesting'
If you can't see that, you're biased.
Yes, my apologies that I didn't differentiate between a far right wing disinformation campaign video about "ballot harvesting" and California GOP officials using unofficial collection boxes to collect ballots.
The Veritas video does in fact make a claim that they are collecting and returning ballots illegally (in addition to claiming that votes were paid for.)
"This type of so-called “ballot harvesting” — collecting mail-in ballots from voters who are sick, elderly or otherwise unable to get their votes in the mail — may not have even been illegal. In Minnesota, campaigns are typically allowed to collect only three ballots at a time, but a district court ruling earlier this year permitted the collection of more ballots over a five-week period from July 28 to Sept. 4."
The use of the word and practices doesn't change my statement.
