Mail-in ballots found in dumpster in Lake Elsinore

 An investigation is under way after mail-in ballots and voter information guides for the Nov. 8 election were found inside a dumpster at a Lake Elsinore apartment complex. The Riverside County Registrar of Voters received a report about the discovery on Wednesday, Oct. 19, the registrar's office said.

At least 100 pieces of election-related mail were found in a dumpster in Lake Elsinore, California

  • The ballots and guides were recovered and mailed the same day, the registrar's office and postal service said.
  • Elections officials are investigating, and a referral has been made to the postal service inspector general.

In an effort to make voting more accessible, every California registered voter is mailed a ballot ahead of the November election

  • Voting by mail has come under scrutiny, especially among Republicans, over concerns the ballots could be compromised
  • Election audits and investigations by media outlets and other groups found no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the U.S.
