In case you haven't already added "ballot harvesting" to the list of right-wing dog whistles, please do.

It just means collecting people's absentee ballots! It's not a thing! https://twitter.com/TulsiGabbard/status/1307067070283218952
They call it "harvesting" to make it sound sinister, but the typical case is a wife dropping off a ballot for her husband or a child helping out with their elderly parents. It's an offshoot of the voter fraud myth. Don't fall for this!

The case in California is even thinner, just a frivolous lawsuit by the local GOP (lol @ "public health concerns").

This is not an issue. Refute this nonsense and abandon all remaining stannery for Tulsi.
