On Tuesday, early voting got underway in Texas with massive crowds waiting in line for hours. Similar scenes played out in Georgia Monday as early voting got underway there. Meanwhile, a federal court in Texas upheld a directive by Republican Governor Greg Abbott limiting ballot drop box sites to one per county — including Harris County, home to 4.7 million people, a disproportionate number of whom are Democratic voters. California’s Republican Party has admitted to deceiving voters by placing dozens of falsely labeled drop boxes for mail-in ballots in Los Angeles, Fresno and Orange counties. California’s secretary of state has sent cease-and-desist orders to Republican officials, warning anyone distributing phony mail-in ballot boxes could be subject to criminal prosecution.
