You're not seeing double. Thousands of duplicate mail-in ballots were mistakenly sent to homes in Riverside County, the County Registrar of Voters says. So how will officials safeguard against potential double voting? Tonight at 11 from ABC7.
County Registrar of Voters Rebecca Spencer says the mistake, attributed to a computer system error, was caught after 5,000 duplicate ballots had already been mailed out.
She said the duplicate ballots were distributed to absentee voters in Canyon Lake, Menifee, Murrieta, Wildomar and Winchester. The county switched ballot supply vendors last year after problems were encountered during the all-mail-in-ballot election of Nov. 3, 2020, amid the coronavirus public health lockdowns.
