Los Angeles-area police say they have recovered roughly 300 unopened mail-in ballots for California's gubernatorial recall election from an occupied vehicle parked outside a 7-Eleven.

The discovery occurred when officers from the city of Torrance police department were called to the convenience store Aug. 16 to find a man sleeping in the parked vehicle. A search of the vehicle uncovered a loaded gun, drugs, and the ballots, according to Sgt. Mark Ponegalek said Monday.

Ponegalek says the ballots were "un-tampered" with, according to the Daily Beast, and that many were such communities as Lawndale and Compton.

The sergeant also said police are working with Los Angeles County's election office and the U.S. Postal Inspector’s office to learn more about the ballots.

He also said the unnamed man was released on his own recognizance.

The final day of balloting for Californians to decide on whether to vote “yes” to recall the governor, Democrat Gavin Newsom, is Sept. 14.

Sounds like blank ballots that he was probably hired to fill out, but he was literally sleeping on the job.

The democrats have learned how to steal an election. You can be sure they will be putting that knowledge to good use.

The man was taken into custody, but has since been released on his own recognizance. Police still don't know how he obtained the ballots and what his intent was.................

Yet January 6th trespassers are still being held without bond.

Guy waking up in his car.
“Hey, like dudes, is the election over yet? That was some like super primo hashish. Pure and strong, man. Guy just here from Afghanistan traded it for my autographed Taylor Swift cd. Can I go back to sleep yet?”

"There's nothing to indicate this was focused on the election," the county registrar's office said.

I think they were outgoing, that is, addressed but not sent. The guy seems to have stolen a big bag of mail, not only ballots, but anything he could get. He also had a lot of meth on him, obviously for sale. I guess he was sampling the merchandise.

He was a meth freak, obviously, so he was probably white and rural. But it sounds as if the ballots just happened to be in a mail bag he stole, probably looking for checks or money.

I read that the state is sending out replacements to the names on the ballots.
