Shawn Steel, Republican National Committee member for California, claims Democrats won congressional seats in the state by counting ballots received after Election Day, a practice illegal in other states. He attributes the losses to changes in laws due to COVID, specifically the influx of absentee ballots. Steel's wife, Rep. Michelle Steel, lost narrowly to a Democratic challenger due to late ballot counts. Steel advocates for a return to traditional voting methods with in-person voting, photo ID, and advance registration.
