Mail-in ballots are arriving across Sacramento County for the Proposition 50 special election, and some voters say they’ve noticed something that worries them — small holes in their ballot envelopes.
Allen Wegat, one of those voters, said the holes could allow someone to see or even tamper with his vote, CBS
“If someone were unscrupulous and didn’t like how I voted, they could double-mark it, which would invalidate my vote,” Wegat said. “It makes it too easy for bad actors.”
Sacramento County’s vote-by-mail envelope design includes small circular holes on each side. When the ballot inside is folded a certain way, the marked bubble for Proposition 50 could become faintly visible through those holes.
