California officials reached a deal with the state Republican Party on Friday over its use of unauthorized ballot drop-off boxes, saying the California GOP had agreed to concessions to address Sacramento’s concerns.

The agreement marks a resolution to a spat over the boxes, which the state said were incorrectly marked as “official” and lack required anti-tampering protections but Republicans said were legal and part of an effort to stop the “suppression” of GOP votes.

California Secretary of State Alex Padilla (D) in a statement announcing the deal berated the state GOP for making bullish remarks in public regarding the boxes but indicated he was satisfied the changes addressed his concerns over voter safety.
