1. Sounds like most of the boxes are primarily where GOPers will place their ballots --

GOPer campaign headquarters, GOPer party locations, churches that are saying the boxes are placed there by GOPers, etc. I'm OK with that. Hope the ballots are destroyed.

I'm not depositing my ballot at a GOPer campaign headquarters, and no one else should either.

2. This is illegal

But those containers, which were first reported by the Orange County Register and KCAL, are not county-authorized ballot drop-off sites. In fact, the unofficial boxes are against the law, state officials said Sunday.

See https://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/ccrov/pdf/2020/october/20240jl.pdf

In addition to the prohibition of providing non-official vote-by-mail ballot drop boxes, any
person (not including county or state elections officials) providing a drop box, whether or
not it is identified as “official” or “unofficial,” may be in violation of Elections Code
section 18575, which states:
Every person is guilty of a felony, and on conviction shall be punished by
imprisonment pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 1170 of the Penal Code for
two, three or four years, who at any election:
(a) Without first having been appointed and qualified, acts as an election officer.
(b) Not being an election officer, performs or discharges any of the duties of an
election officer in regard to the handling, counting, or canvassing of any ballots.
Accordingly, providing any unauthorized or non-official vote-by-mail ballot drop box may
constitute a violation of Elections Code section 18575 and other laws.
