ballots and voter information guides for the Nov. 8 election were found inside a dumpster at a Lake Elsinore apartment complex, officials said.
The Riverside County Registrar of Voters received a report about the discovery on Wednesday, Oct. 19, the registrar’s office said in an emailed statement. The U.S. Postal Service confirmed the report.
It’s unclear how many ballots and guides were found in the dumpster or where the apartment complex in question is located. A resident reported on social media that at least 100 pieces of election-related mail were in the trash.
The ballots and guides were recovered and mailed the same day, the registrar’s office and postal service said. Elections officials and postal service inspectors are investigating and the matter has been referred to law enforcement, according to Patrick Munar, a registrar’s spokesperson.
A referral also was made to the postal service inspector general, postal service spokesperson Duke Gonzales said via email.
“We take very seriously any allegation of mishandling mail,” Gonzales said.
On Facebook, Lake Elsinore resident Jennifer Bollman posted two photos of what she said were the ballots and guides found in the dumpster.
A neighbor discovered the material in the dumpster while taking out the trash, Bollman wrote.
“She recovered what she could and placed (them in) front of our mailboxes but there were still over 100 left in the dumpster that she could not reach,” Bollman’s post read.
She also wrote: “This is ABSOLUTELY NOT RIGHT. This is why we should not have Mail-In Ballots unless requested. Our election system is corrupt and this is why. I don’t care what your political affiliation is. THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN VERY SERIOUSLY.”

I do NOT TRUST the POST OFFICE to be HONEST any more! Sad.
in as much as possible, I no longer us the USPS. not giving them any $
Go to the damn polls! Jeez! One day every 2 years to vote. It’s called civics. My god how we’ve fallen.
Definitely. The USPS was a big player in the 2020 steal.
We’re paranoid because we get mail from conservatives organizations. We wonder if/how that will target us for the PO to mess with our mail.
If we have anything important to send we don’t put it in our mailbox for pickup, but take it to a blue box or the PO itself. The return address is still there, but it’s one step removed from a possibly nefarious regular mailman at your house every day. Maybe that helps, but I don’t know.
When USPS makes deliveries to our door, our security camera mysteriously halts its recording.
Exactly.
Have you checked that out on several days?
Seriously! I refuse to use a mail-in ballot!
No way. Really? You be jokin’ mon.
When Trump becomes Speaker in January 2023 he needs to freeze all funding for the USPS until the mail in ballot fraud is corrected. It’s time for a Republican Speaker of the House to use the constitutional power of the purse to shut down the federal government until it starts working for we the people again.
Time to disband the Post Office.
How this whole mail in ballot thing workin’ out?
GO TO THE POLLS IN PERSON ON ELECTION DAY.
We disband enough of these various services and this country sure
enough be in serious troubles. It is bad enough as it is but to be
disbanded would hasten the problem. jmo
blank ballot only...not filled out...
It’s been infiltrated by union liberals, leftists, socialists, Marxists etc, for years. A lot of mail and packages go into it, but only certain stuff comes out. The USPS has “lost” more packages of mine, than I can count. I now specify UPS and FedEx only.
Trump wont be Speaker in 2023...at least in this universe.
Actually we vote every year, twice a year and sometimes more.
