Overview
- Deputies discovered 99 unopened Proposition 50 ballots mixed with stolen mail during a cleanup near Elder Creek and Mayhew roads in Sacramento County.
- All recovered ballots were secured, returned to the county elections office, and voided so they cannot be counted.
- Replacement ballots began going out to the affected voters on Thursday under established remediation procedures.
- The Sheriff's Office is investigating with the U.S. Postal Service to trace the theft; the encampment was vacant and no arrests have been reported.
- The find follows a similar case in Woodland affecting 135 voters, and officials urge anyone missing a ballot to contact their county elections office for a reissue.
