I decided to check at https://smcacre.gov/elections/my-election-info

My wife's ballot was received, but mine was not, even though I dropped it into the box right next to the election official.



WTF?

I'm sending an email to elections@sos.ca .gov">elections@sos.ca .gov


Hi,
I dropped off my ballot on election day at the voting center in the Menlo Park civic center area, between the police station and library downtown.

It was filled out, signed and dated. I dropped it in the box at the head of the line right in front of an election official, after confirming with her that it was the right place to put it.

On https://smcacre.gov/elections/my-election-info I now (on Nov 7th) see this:

Ballot Mailed Date: October 4th, 2024
Ballot Returned Date: Not Received
Ballot Status: Not Received

Please let me know what happened to my ballot and why it was not counted.

I will be publicizing your response at https://patrick.net/post/1382484/2024-11-08-my-ballot-was-not-counted

Thank you.

There is also a contact form at https://smcacre.gov/elections/contact-registration-elections but it is infested with Google spyware so I don't want to use it:

I also emailed registrar@smcacre.gov just now, same email as above.

Well now we know the extent of the steal in the PRCA. It's the same here in the PRNY.

A happy MAGA rebirth to everyone.

Maybe they will get back to me with some legit reason, but I can't imagine what that reason would be.

If you fail the signature match do they tell you or does it just get discarded?

Dunno. Didn't hear anything.

I definitely used my normal signature.

They just should have sent you a message saying: "Welcome to California" with a bird finger emoji. That's about how much our votes matter. I'll check ours tomorrow just out of curiosity.

I got text messages each step of the way:

We'd, Oct 30:

The US Postal Service has collected your ballot for the November 5, 2024, General Election and will deliver it to your county soon. Questions? Call (510) 272-6973 or email ballot.trax@acgov.org .

I just checked and they said my ballot was accepted and counted. Of course, counted means what they want it to mean.

Stalin smiles.

That's another reason why I vote in person.
