California, as the most populous U.S. state, has the largest representation in Congress of all states, making its voter base a valuable one. But as news reports discuss the Golden State’s recent election missteps, some wonder whether state legislators should look into this matter more urgently.
After the Election Integrity Project California Inc. (EIPCa) looked into the many failures of the state’s 2018 midterm elections for a recent report, researchers learned that thousands of Californians didn’t receive vote-by-mail (VBM) ballots in time. Additionally, hundreds of voters saw polling places giving them incorrect VBM designations, while hundreds of others saw the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) change their registration to permanent VBM without their consent, making them ineligible to vote at the polls.
