A frightening report from an organization dedicated to maintaining election integrity claims that almost half of the ballots distributed for the 2022 midterm elections have mysteriously vanished. Citizens are demanding answers in order to guarantee that their opinions will be heard in November with 10.9 million mail-in votes still unaccounted for.
“Mail voting practices have an insurmountable information gap,” the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) said on Monday. “The public cannot know how many ballots were disregarded, delivered to wrong mailboxes, or even withheld from the proper recipient by someone at the same address.”

Since Governor Newsom made vote-by-mail a permanent process, the California State Auditor recently released an eye-opening report that exposed major flaws in the state’s first mail-ballot election. The devastating two-page report listed significant Assembly Bill 37 “failures,” casting doubt on the security and effectiveness of future elections held using this procedure.
California is the voting leader in the country for mail-in ballots, having the most registered voters of any state. Unfortunately, this policy has resulted in a worrying trend, with thousands of votes seemingly disappearing at polling places.
“After accounting for polling place votes and rejected ballots in November 2022, there were more than 10 million ballots left outstanding, meaning election officials do not know what happened to them,” reads the Wednesday report.
“It is fair to assume that the bulk of these were ignored or ultimately thrown out by the intended recipients. But, under mass-mail elections, we can only assume what happened,” it continued.
9.8 million mail ballots were successfully sent and approved, and an additional 1.4 million came from polling places; sadly, almost 120,000 votes were not this time around allowed to contribute to the final tally. Nearly half of the mail ballots were missing.
The Republican Party achieved a remarkable milestone on November 16, 2022: a narrow victory in historically Democratic California gave them control of the U.S. House! They made history on election day across The Golden State by flipping decades-old politics when ballots were mailed to over 22 million registered voters—nearly half of whom were Democrats and 24% Republicans—in one audacious action.
Mail-In Ballot Rejects
Over 200,000 mail-in ballots were rejected by California election officials in the previous two significant elections, according to a surprising statistic that PILF discovered. This raises the question of whether Americans still have the right to fair and equitable voting procedures in light of the growing use of absentee voting nationwide.
A surprising 813 instances of multiple voting were documented by the state during the most recent midterm elections. Those who cast ballots by mail and in person at polling places were noted, as well as voters whose signatures did not match. If we are still committed to exercising democracy without fail, this could be a sign of more serious problems with our current system, which has to be addressed right away!
While there are various reasons why ballots were disqualified in the elections of 2022, researchers discovered that postal voting’s “endemic” problem of late arrivals accounted for roughly half of all disqualifications.
Californians can easily get ready to vote in the forthcoming election! A ballot will be sent to every registered voter in the state four weeks before the election, mailed on November 8. County authorities quickly handle ballots after checking signatures to ensure that all valid votes are counted before election day.
“In the November contests, more than 57,000 ballots arrived after November 15, setting them up for rejection,” PILF stated.
“The official datasets do not differentiate between ballots postmarked too late or delivered too late. The U.S. Postal Service also touts its 2022 performance by claiming that 99 percent of mail ballots were delivered nationally within 3 days to officials for counting once in their custody,” the repost reads, noting that the Post Office sets the success rate at 94 percent for timely delivery of political mail.
“So the failure to deliver ballots on time is not surprising.”
The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) President, J. Christian Adams, has raised concern that mail-in ballots may prevent some voters from having their voices heard in elections.
“There are many reasons mail ballots fail ultimately to count. No one casting a ballot at home can correct an error before it’s too late,” the chairman said. “California’s vote-by-mail demonstration should serve as a warning to state legislators elsewhere.”
Californians now have a variety of options thanks to recent laws for making sure their vote is heard in elections. Voters may also bring their ballots in person to polling sites and place them in an official ballot box in addition to the usual mail-in ballots, which may still be tallied even without a postmark or one that is difficult to see.
