Grand Rapids, Michigan, has lost a tray of absentee ballots, City Clerk Joel Hondorp told The Federalist. The city is investigating but does not yet know where the ballots went.
“Voters were calling, saying, ‘Hey, we didn’t receive our ballots,’” Hondorp said. “There’s a tray of ballots that were set to be mailed out. Looks like it may have got to the post office, we’re trying to figure out where the disconnect is.”
A tray holds close to 300 ballots, according to Hondorp. His office is working with the United States Postal Service to investigate at what point the tray of ballots got lost.
“We do ballot tracking with our mail vendor, and so we can kind of verify where a tray gets scanned into the system,” Hondorp said. “We’re investigating right now.”
Hondorp said his office has sent 100 replacement ballots to voters who did not receive theirs. If anyone submits duplicate ballots, he said his office would “spoil” one of the ballots so only one vote counts per voter.
“If for some reason this tray shows up somewhere, and then they get another ballot in the mail, we know which ballot to count so they don’t return two,” Hondorp said. “If two ballots happen to come back to us, we know we only keep one of them.”
A few ballots sometimes get lost in the mail, Hondorp said, but typically the number is not this high. “It doesn’t seem to be a whole tray in the past. We might have some ones or twos,” he said.
If Grand Rapids voters should have received an absentee ballot but did not, Hondorp said they should contact his office. This is how Hondorp initially discovered the issue, which his staff traced to the northwest part of the city.

Tell them to VOTE LIKE A MAN, like is done in nearly every other country in the world.
Musta been a Trump tray
If anyone submits duplicate ballots, he said his office would “spoil” one of the ballots.
The people who submitted the ballot should be arrested! If you can’t Rember you turned in a ballot ,you shouldn’t be allowed to Vote.
That will make about 300 votes for Harris.
Did they check the back of all the U-Hauls in the area and see if they magically turned into Democrat votes? That tends to happen to these.
Mail in voting needs to be ended. It is inefficient, costly, and rife for cheating.
Which will get spoiled? The one with the 'R' votes or the one with the 'D' votes?
I crack myself up!
Have all Michigan Demonicrat election officials undergo a body cavity search until the missing ballots are found.
They "have no idea where they went?" Of course they don't. /s
The state of the union has degenerated to the point we're living in Mayor Richard (Joseph) Daley's chiCongo. Votes are padded, falsified and stolen, and the worst that happens is the authorities simply "wink" at it.
Always in a democrat state.....ALWAYS
The steal has begun.
I don’t remember vote by mail before 2020 except for the few people voting absentee because they were living away.
Why are we doing this? Are people still in fear of the ‘rona?
(DESIGNED for cheating)
Grand Rapids is usually a red zone but went for Biden in 2020. This may simply be USPS incompetence.
Not widespread or frequent. Neither is drunk driving, bank robbery, or insurrection, but they seem to want to get those rare crimes prosecuted, huh?
No worries, they will show up really late on election night.
“We do ballot tracking with our mail vendor, and so we can kind of verify where a tray gets scanned into the system.”
“Kind of verify”.
