That's NEVER happened and I don't know who talk to about this because I've NEVER had this happen. I've checked it twice, Monday & Today and it's still sitting in the post office...WTF?!!

(151,888 posts)Perhaps get in touch with whoever you checked with on your ballot's status.
Did you sign up with Ballot Trax? They're very reliable about letting you know the status of your ballot.

(828 posts)My husband's ballot was received & counted by Monday but mine was NOT only sitting there BUT it actually says that it it's going to be MAILED TO ME! As if it's last month had never happened & I had never filled it out.

(275 posts)It will never be a free, fair and open election process as long as DeJoy is Postmaster General or whatever the fuck his job title is.

(828 posts)The AP caled those swing state EARLY for the Orange Degenerate and many are STILL counting the ballots. We need a RECOUNT. We raised MILLIONS of doallrs and can afford to pay for recounts.
DENVERPOPS
(9,871 posts)about signing the outside of the ballot where someone could cross check with the voter registration to see if it was R, D, or I.
Doesn't seem like a very secure system that has everyone do that.......including Colorado......
I remember years ago, certain counties in Colorado "seemingly" used heavier paper to have the ballots printed on that would require more than one stamp. They didn't print "requires two stamps" in the area that stamps were to be placed. It was held up from going through in time to be counted........
We will never know how many EIS machines were tampered with across the entire nation, back when they were used during the WBush? election. they were so concerned about the "hanging chads" they didn't look at the weird stuff that was occurring on the EIS machines.........
Take care CP

(1,967 posts)I wonder if ballots with identifiably female names are being targeted to be held back. I don't mean targeted on a national level in a big enough way to change the election, that does seem paranoid. But just put aside by some random disgruntled misogynistic postal workers in a worse-than-misguided attempt to get vengeance.

(5,367 posts)...for the last several elections, which I fill out and take to a ballot collection box in a public park very nearby my residence.
I have always received an email confirming that the ballot was received and counted by the following day.
This time I have not gotten any confirmation email, and I am starting to be concerned that something has gone wrong.
I will wait until a week has passed (next Monday) before I try to find out what happened.

Your ballot has been mailed! Your ballot is at the Post Office and is making its way to you. Look for your ballot in your mailbox soon!"
What in the Orange Degenerate is happening?

(98 posts)This might be something that election officials should announce on your state-wide message system? If voters have not received their usual ballot received confirmation please call or come into your election office. Or something like that.

(4,794 posts)every time I checked at the SoS for close to a week. This was a few weeks ago. (And that was 2 women and 1 man.) I thought it was weird that it still said they were outbound, too. Then we all got text messages from the county saying they had been received and counted. So, maybe you will get received and counted texts or emails from your county soon. I hope so!

(10,614 posts)but when I checked directly with the county registrar it was received and counted. email does occasionally go missing, which is why I vote early.
Since its after election day you wont be able to get a replacement ballot. Out of curiosity, what county?
GReedDiamond
(5,367 posts)...is because by then, if I do not get the confirmation email, I would assume that something bad had, indeed, happened.
I will look into it tomorrow.
ON EDIT: Los Angeles County

(828 posts)counted...He's a left leaning Independent but my ballot is sitting at the Post office WAITING TO BE MAILED TO ME, a Democrat! I filled out my ballot AND took both his and mine to the ballot box. His has been received AND counted BUT mine is sitting at the Post Office , {OUTBOUND} waiting to mailed to ME!! What in the actual FAT ORANGE ASSHOLE is going on? And I've spoken to friends and relatives in PA, OH, MI, etc. They told me that they were wondering why their states were called for that asshole when they were still counting the ballots and some people were still voting....

(828 posts)I just wonder how many people this has happened to all over the country. PA is STILL counting ballots and was PISSED at the Apricot Asshole for claiming they cheated him and they'd NOT finished counting yet. I know that if we feel shenanigans happened, the teams of Lawyers that were stationed all over the country to observe the voting. Remember what happened in 2000 when Gore first conceded and then took his concession when saw the count showing that he got more votes than he was told he did in the recount. bush went to the court to STOP the count because it appeared that was going to win.
