In reply to the discussion: Hoo boy, just got 8 California ballots in the mail. Not great. [View all]LenaBaby61
(6,974 posts)34. Hoo boy, just got 8 California ballots in the mail. Not great.
OMG, a friend in Northern California got 4 ballots, and 2 were for her husband just last week 😳
She's been a widow for over 5 years!!
Only ONE ballot was proper, which was for her. But her husband's name showed up on two of the other ballots and the final ballot had a wrong address on it and her name. It scared her to death, so she called her voter registrar's office, and the woman told her to destroy the 3 unnecessary ballots, throw them away but keep the one for her which was correct, and fill it out and mail as normal. She asked the woman how this happened, and the woman told her that sometimes it happens due to human error, also that more ballots are being mailed out than normal, so that more people can vote from home due to the pandemic. After she talked with the woman, she said she felt better.
Her ballot has been mailed in, AND of course she voted NO on the BOGUS GQP Gavin Newsom recall of course
