Kevin Wallsten, professor at Long Beach State University was featured in ABC7 News to discuss ballot harvesting in California.

"California has voted through the legislature to make it a legal practice," confirmed Dr. Kevin Wallsten, associate professor of political science at California State University, Long Beach. "Prior to 2016, only a family member could collect your ballot and turn it in for you. It is now possible for anybody to collect a ballot on your behalf and turn it in."
