After reports that California's Republican Party has been collecting ballots in unofficial boxes, state Attorney General Xavier Becerra sent a cease-and-desist letter in an attempt to put a stop to the "highly illegal tactics."

In this week's episode, host Alex Cohen sits down with Becerra and Dean Logan, the man in charge of L.A. County elections, to discuss why this matters.

Producer Esther Lee then joins to talk about her voting experience or lack thereof.
