California Attorney General Xavier Berra on Monday sent a cease and desist letter to the state Republican Party after it acknowledged owning unofficial ballot drop boxes that state election officials say are illegal. The letter comes in the wake of reports in recent weeks that unofficial ballot drop boxes have been popping up in Fresno, Orange, and Los Angeles counties. He said official county drop boxes are built with specific security protections, and ballots are retrieved only by designated county personnel. Official ballot drop boxes and drop off locations can be found at caearlyvoting.sos.ca.gov. Unconfirmed reports have suggested California Republicans are helping to coordinate the effort to use unofficial ballot boxes.
