Millions Of Calif Vote-By-Mail Ballots Unreturned
Nov 1, 2010 2:00 pm US/Pacific
SACRAMENTO (AP) - Millions of Californians have not yet returned their vote-by-mail ballots, and county election officials say the flood of returns expected on Tuesday could delay results in tight races.
As of Monday morning, many counties had received only about half of the absentee ballots they had mailed out.
More than 7.6 million absentee ballots were requested statewide for the general election. In some counties, vote-by-mail is expected to exceed in-person voting.
That means a huge number of last-minute returns will not be counted on election night, and the most competitive races may remain too close to call.

In Wisconsin we received mailings regarding early voting today. I wonder
What thug hid those.
Same for me. I walk my absentee in because I don’t trust the postal employees. They may peek and discard ballots that are cast for people who aren’t sufficiently enthusiastic about gov’t employees getting ever increasing pay raises.
There was a no nonsence appoach to my precinct . The rules were stictly approached.I ran it with an iron fist. If you did not like the rules you were automatically ejected
The republicans need to deal with this. They need to clean all of this up. Go back to only using these ballots on rare exceptions. Delete the voter registration records, and force people to re-register while providing identification and proof of being eligible. Make conflicts of interest illegal. Make sure that all aspects of the voting process are monitored by watchers on both sides. This includes all the pre-election processes. All acorn type activities are illegal. If you can’t be responsible enough to register to vote then you give up that right. Simple as that. There is a whole list of things that need to be done to clean up the vote fraud. Oh and PROSECUTE anyone who knowingly breaks the law. No exceptions.
Could it be that a lot of libs have lost hope and aren’t going to turn them in? Maybe some of the SF crowd will be too hungover tomorrow celebrating the Giant’s win to turn in their ballots.
And that’s how it should be!
They’ll wait until tomorrow afternoon and see if they are behind. If they are, a BUNCH of those will get delivered to polling places, and VOILA! dems will win.
IMHO, the ballots will be "found" if the election is close and the Republican is the winner. It will be, "Oh, you know, I just remembered seeing a box of ballots in the back room."
My precinct had the lowest incidence of voter fraud in the city.
Yes it is!
They ought to open the polls all across the country at 1200 hrs Eastern and keep them open for 24 hrs. Period. If you can’t find 5 mins in that 24 hrs to go vote, you aren’t serious about it anyway, and shouldn’t be voting.
Which is why they are very nervous.
That’s great Ernst, you can be proud of yourself and your co workers!
The dim party is just holding them so a union worker at the post office can mark them with the previous days date and mail them in... all with just enough dim votes to steal the election again. Election Laws have no force of... well... we have to come up with a word to replace the word” law”... because it no longer means what it once did.
LLS
Are they going to go and vote in person then? I do not like vote by mail I dont trust it
No, a person can still vote without it, whether they never got it or threw it away or whatever. “Provisional Voting” in CA allows for an Absentee Voter to vote in his precinct or sometimes in another precinct in the same county without turning in the Absentee Ballot.
Vote by mail is an invitation to wholesale fraud, and should be done away with.
Case in point: Washington State.
Rossi’ll have to win by 50,000 votes to keep the Dims from stealing the election.
The Democrat ballots will turn up. The Republican ones...not so much; they sleep with the fishes.
Then they should vote early. If somebody else voted their absentee ballot, they will not be allowed to vote if it has already been counted. In most jurisdictions the absentees are delivered to the polls during the day. If a walk in voter votes early, the absentee will be the one that is discarded (not counted). Otherwise, if somebody votes in your name, you are out of luck.
