Nearly 150,000 mail ballots rejected in California' primary despite efforts to count every vote
Nearly 150,000 mail ballots were rejected in California's June primary due to late arrivals and postmark issues, despite rules allowing ballots postmarked by Election Day. Rejections rose from 108,982 in 2024 to 148,241 in 2024, with 93,479 attributed to lateness. Concerns were raised about U.S. Postal Service policy changes affecting postmark timing and voter behavior in a high-turnout election.
