California Voters Urged to Mail Ballots Early Ahead of USPS Processing Change

With the California primary a week away, officials urge voters voting by mail to send ballots by Tuesday, May 26, to ensure they’re counted after USPS changes mean ballots dropped on Election Day may not be postmarked until the next day; ballots must be postmarked by June 2. If you miss the deadline, you can drop your ballot at a voting center or ballot box, or request a postmark at a post office. In-person voting ends at 8 p.m. on Election Day, and same-day registration is available at local voting centers; major races to watch include Los Angeles mayor and California governor.

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.

Mejia Edges Malinowski by 676 Votes as NJ-11 Count Drags On

Analilia Mejia holds a 676-vote lead over Tom Malinowski in New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District special Democratic primary, but the race remains uncalled as vote-by-mail and provisional ballots are tallied through the weekend; Mejia leads in Essex County while Malinowski has strength with mail ballots in Morris County, and final results hinge on late-counted ballots.

California's Vote Count Delay: What's Taking So Long?

California's slow ballot counting process is delaying the final results of the U.S. House of Representatives election, with over 5 million ballots still unprocessed. The delay is attributed to the state's thorough verification process for vote-by-mail ballots, which includes signature matching and opportunities for voters to correct issues. California allows ballots postmarked by election day to be counted if received within seven days, contributing to the extended timeline. The state has 30 days to finalize results, with 11 congressional seats still undecided, impacting the balance of power in the House.
