...going door to door and filling out the ballots themselves, in some cases. As I recall, a Congressman lost his seat for doing it. It is illegal.

Is it time to go to court and have the election results thrown out?

The elections supervisor of that District 25 should notify whomever is in charge of election security in California that fraud was perpetrated, and there is a tape of known Russian waterbearer Nunes admitting to it.

because they can't betray as they are and still get large majorities to vote for them.

This is nothing new at all. Nunes doesn't hate to admit winning requires election theft, he hates that he isn't free to crow and brag about how good they have become at it, even partnering with foreign enemies as needed.

“Now even though we don’t like it, we are forced to ballot harvest because it’s the only way to win. So as long as we have a robust ballot harvesting operation come November, and I hate saying that because it’s illegal in 49 states, I think Mike Garcia is in good shape to hold onto that seat, because it’s a traditionally a Republican seat.”

We were going door to door handing applications for absentee ballots to residents. We were instructed to offer the applications to residents explaining there use. We were also told we cannot fill out the applications or even help the recipient fill it out.

Michigan had just passed, by referendum, a no reason absentee vote law.

Nunes is such an idiot he just gave away the game plan for the California GOP.

That’s probably how he wins every election even though he has low approval ratings.

I looked this up and unfortunately Jerry Brown signed this Into law and the repukes accused The Democrats of doing this to win the seat in November 2018. But I still think it should be outlawed.
