North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis said Sunday that California has been guilty of ballot harvesting. Speaking on the CBS program Face the Nation, he told host Margaret Brennan that the state has a policy allowing the practice. Tillis added that California maintains a system that is ripe for abuse and should be examined more closely.
Brennan asked Tillis about the Department of Justice’s legal fight with California over possible noncitizens appearing on the state’s voter rolls. She noted the department’s warning that officials could face consequences if mail-in ballots continue to go out. Brennan also brought up a separate Justice Department lawsuit against Alaska and a federal investigation into Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar.
