Yeah mine never showed up, had to go stand in the courthouse for an hour and a half. When we showed up and were told it was a 2 hour wait, and that "we've been getting a lot of people who didn't get their ballot" I knew something was fucked with.
But I got my vote in.
Pat on the back for you and your partner!
So this county only 50% got them, and statewide it's only 2/3s?
No, that's return rate. So we know at least 52% in the county got theirs, because they returned it and it was received. And statewide we know at least 67% got theirs, because they returned it and it was received.
Some (hopefully small) number of voters might have gotten their ballot but then ignored it or threw it away - or mistakenly spoiled it somehow (mistook it for a napkin at dinner time).
Others might have returned their ballots and then they got lost in the mail on the way back.
So the return rate isn't completely indicative of how many failed to get sent out.
We don't know for sure how many failed to be sent out, but it's reasonable to assume the number is high, due to the large disparity between the statewide return rate and the county return rate.
No, we don't know how many were not delivered. What we do know is the county is making simple mistakes that's resulted in a 15 point drop in returns.
Across the state 2/3 of people who've requested a mail ballot have recieved and returned them. In this county on 52% have, with known mailing errors.
DeJoy fuckin’ around with ballot deliveries once again - it’s just more targeted on swing states this time around
The mailing errors are not with the post office, they're with the county board of elections.
But also, Fuck DeJoy
I am 100% certain that DeJoy is subtly making matters worse with regard to ballot deliveries wherever he can, and particularly in swing states.
