Questions arise after an Orange County Republican official posts a photo of himself next to a metallic box marked 'official ballot drop off box.'
Questions were first raised over the weekend, when a Newport Beach Republican official posted a photo of himself on Twitter posing next to a metal delivery box, the size of an office filing cabinet, marked “official ballot drop off box.” The container was not, however, provided or overseen by Orange County elections officials.
Orange County Registrar of Voters Neal Kelley said it is unclear how many similar boxes are being used or their locations. “We’re still in our legal review and we haven’t made a determination, but there are strict restrictions on what governs an official ballot box,” she said.
