Oops! She did it again -- Riverside, California registrar mails 5,000 voters duplicate ballots
So this happened, in Riverside County, (population 2.4 million) California, according to the Los Angeles Times:
About 5,000 people in Riverside County will receive duplicate vote-by-mail ballots for the November midterm election after a “computer system error,” but the mistake won’t allow voters to cast ballots twice, according to the county registrar.
The computer error was caught over the weekend, but not before 5,000 mail-in ballots were sent to voters living in Canyon Lake, Menifee, Murrieta, Wildomar and Winchester, said Rebecca Spencer, the Riverside County registrar of voters.
Spencer recommended anyone who receives identical ballots to destroy the extra copy.
Nothing to see here, little technical glitch, just throw that extra ballot away, and move along. They've got this. Elections are always clean in California. Problem over, right?
