10 million California mail-in ballots ‘unaccounted for’
It is believed that not one, not two, but up to ten million mail-in ballots in California have gone unaccounted for in the state’s first major test of its universal mail-in voting program according to the Public Interest Legal Foundation.
In a report this month the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), a watchdog group, claims California’s November elections were a huge fail as the state tested the mail-in program. Such a fail, that the state has nearly 10 million ballots have evaporated into thin air.
The report states “after accounting for polling place votes and rejected ballots in November 2022, there were more than 10 million ballots left outstanding.” This means “election officials do not know what happened to them.”
“It is fair to assume that the bulk of these were ignored or ultimately thrown out by the intended recipients,” the group said. PILF argued that universal mail-in voting rules “have an insurmountable information gap.”
“The public cannot know how many ballots were disregarded, delivered to wrong mailboxes, or even withheld from the proper recipient by someone at the same address,” they wrote.
The group further noted that, in the 2022 primaries and elections, “226,250 mail ballots were rejected by election officials,” many due to signature problems or late submissions.
In 2021 California became one of a handful of states to adopt the universal mail-in voting policy, which means every voter in the state receives a ballot to vote via mail prior to an election.

Judge orders Biden’s DHS to release files on agents accused of censoring election ‘misinformation’
Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry made headway in countering federal agents involved in suppressing what liberal tech labeled “misinformation” on social media.
The Attorneys General moved to release testimony from five Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) employees after learning of their participation in the Biden administration’s counter-“disinformation” efforts. On Wednesday, a Louisiana judge ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to release the files.
Court documents dated Jan. 19 show the agents participated. The judge’s motion Wednesday could shed light on a “switchboarding” tactic employed during the 2020 election, according to the order.
The lawsuit alleges that the defendants, which include the named individuals as well as President Joe Biden and top officials from a variety of federal agencies, “colluded and/or coerced social media companies to suppress disfavored speakers, viewpoints, and content on social media platforms by labeling the content “dis-information,” “mis-information,” and “mal-formation.”
The Daily Caller reports that the five CISA employees allegedly served as a “switchboard” to route requests from federal agencies to censor disinformation to various social media companies, according to the documents.
Switchboard work employed “an audit official to identify something on social media they deemed to be disinformation aimed at their jurisdiction,” top CISA election security agent Brian Skully testified in a deposition released Thursday.
“They couldforward that to CISA and CISA would share that with the appropriate social mediacompanies.”
UPDATE: The judge granted our motion to compel. CISA has 14 days to comply. https://t.co/2bhwQQJTG6
