Orange County DA’s office investigates ballot harvesting in Westminster

A Republican ballot harvesting operation in Westminster is being reviewed by the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.

District Attorney Todd Spitzer said Tuesday, Nov. 3 the campaigns of two Republican candidates were assisting voters with filling out their ballots. Then those campaign workers were being designated to take care of the ballots, Spitzer said. The incident took place at the office of Westminster City Councilwoman Kimberly Ho.

Attorneys on the scene have not yet decided if any violation occurred.

“We have preserved the information,” Spitzer said. “We haven’t determined yet if there was a crime. We have the names of the individuals on the scene.”

“People came with unopened original ballots, and they were filled out there,” Spitzer said. “Then they designated people to take care of their ballots.”
