On election night, Democrats had managed to flip one or two seats in Orange County, California, a typically red area of Southern California. A week later, all the eats in the Orange County, which had been Republican for generations magically flipped to Democrats after thousands of new votes were magically found. How did Democrats steal these house seats? They did it through ballot harvesting. As usual, wimpy Republicans didn’t mount a challenge to this corrupt practice and let Democrats steal the seats without so much as a whimper.

California is the only state where ballot harvesting is legal and was put into place by corrupt Democrats who run the state. Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s ethical or even safe from Democrat manipulation. That’s why California is California and is never coming back.
California Democrats “stole” the midterm election using a new method that is illegal elsewhere but completely legal in the Golden State: a practice called “ballot harvesting,” which allows third parties to submit mail-in ballots for voters.
It sounds “bizarre,” as outgoing Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) described it to the Washington Post on Thursday — but it is absolutely true: Democratic operatives handed in pile after pile of other people’s ballots.
And Demorats are proud of it, mocking Republicans for failing to take advantage of a new law signed by Governor Jerry Brown in 2016, over GOP objections, that allows “ballot harvesting,” and which some Republicans are now blaming for their defeat.The practice explains several mysteries about the 2018 election, such as: why mail-in ballots caused massive shifts toward Democrats in races Republicans thought they won on Election Night; why Republicans won the turnout battle in the primary, but lost it in the general election; and why Democrats with party backing defeated fellow Democrats without it — even when the latter had more money.
“Ballot harvesting” by Democratic Party operatives — a surprise tactic they likely saved for the general election — appears to have made the difference. The San Francisco Chronicle reported Thursday that Democrats ran a disciplined, door-to-door campaign offering to deliver voters’ ballots to the polls:
