Overview
- USPS alerted the county to four broken-into cluster mailboxes in Woodland, affecting 61 addresses and about 135 registered voters.
- Stolen mail was later recovered at another location after being sorted and exposed to water, and it included election materials.
- Thirty recovered ballots were too damaged to use, and replacements are being mailed immediately to those voters.
- Elections staff are contacting the roughly 105 other affected voters to confirm ballot delivery and will issue replacements if necessary.
- Replacement return envelopes will carry an ID ending in "-2" and all ballots undergo signature verification, with no suspect publicly identified as the investigation continues.
