Sparks ballot glitch clouds WNBA All-Star starter results

A number of Los Angeles Sparks players reportedly didn’t receive emails to vote for WNBA All-Star starters before the results were released, prompting the team to take responsibility and vow a more robust ballot process. Across the league, only about 85 players cast ballots in a voting system that weights 25% player votes, 50% fan votes, and 25% media votes, with the All-Star starters announced for the July 25 game in Chicago—the reserves will be chosen later by coaches.

500 Unclaimed Ballots Found Near Renton Dumpster Prompt Federal Inquiry

Federal authorities are investigating after roughly 500 ballots from multiple elections were found behind a Renton, Washington dumpster; the ballots appeared to be outgoing and were not retrieved, not counted, and are being reviewed by King County Elections with the USPS, Renton Police, and the FBI. Rep. Jim Walsh raised concerns about vulnerabilities in Washington’s vote-by-mail system, but election officials say safeguards prevented any fraud and criticize the public posting of the ballots. The Secretary of State and King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office are involved, and the case remains active.

Attorney General Rob Bonta praised the ruling, which stops Bianco’s actions amid a contested special election on a new Democratic-drawn congressional map; a coalition of media outlets is seeking to unseal the warrant tied to the ballot seizure.

CA Sheriff’s Fresh Ballot Seizures Intensify Battle Over Election Recount

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a Republican candidate for governor, seized 426 additional ballot boxes as part of a criminal probe into alleged voter irregularities, adding to a prior seizure of about 650,000 ballots. State officials led by Attorney General Rob Bonta say the investigation lacks credible evidence and have filed lawsuits to pause or challenge it; a separate lawsuit seeks to block a recount tied to last year’s Prop 50. A UCLA Voting Rights Project suit and a secretary of state critique underscore concerns about undermining public trust in elections, while a court panel denied a bid to stop the recount. Critics note a claimed discrepancy of 45,896 votes versus the actual difference of 103, highlighting the dispute over the case’s basis.

First courtroom test for DOJ's 2020 election probe hinges on Georgia ballot materials

The Justice Department’s investigation into the 2020 election faces its first public court test in Atlanta as Fulton County seeks the return of FBI-seized 2020 ballots. Prosecutors argue the warrant was proper and the materials are needed for the probe, while the county contends the affidavit omitted important context. U.S. District Judge JP Boulee will weigh whether the seizure and related disclosures were lawful and whether guardrails should limit how such warrants are used in ongoing investigations, a ruling with implications for the wider probe and related actions, including a separate Arizona subpoena.
