Mail ballots disenfranchise

10 Million 2022 California Ballots Unaccounted For, Report Finds

California may have disenfranchised millions of voters in the 2022 primary and general elections, according to a new report from the Public Interest Legal Foundation, an election integrity watchdog group. 

The report found that 226,250 mail ballots were rejected for various reasons, while election officials failed to account for millions more.

The 2022 midterms marked the first election held since the California Legislature passed and Gov. Gavin Newsom signed AB 37, which required automatically mailing ballots to all active registered voters in the nation’s most populous state.

""Election officials 'know' what happened to those ballots," said Paul Gronke, a professor at Reed College, who is the director of the Early Voting Information Center, a research group based there. "They were received by eligible citizens and not filled out. Where are they now? Most likely, in landfills," Gronke said by email."

Sometimes people who get mail-in ballots don't use them or they decide to vote in person.

This isn't a mystery.

Snopes, the liberal fact-checker...Snopes and many other so-called fact-checkers, they aren't JUST pointless wastes of time, they are agenda-driven hacks who would like to see non-liberal online publishers driven out of business.

So forget Snopes if you have to because they mess up your efforts to push out false info.

Okay.

So do you disagree that sometimes people who get mail-in ballots don't use them or they decide to vote in person?

I would ask the point of a state sending mail-in ballots to every resident in that state. What is the purpose? If someone requests an absentee ballot, that is a different thing.
I think that they could use a mail-in ballot as well as voting in person. The records are not trusted especially in a state such as California. 226k rejects is a significant amount.

California doesn't send mail-in ballots to every resident in the state. Where did you hear that?

When I said every resident, I meant to say every registered voter in the State. I should have been more clear for you.
