Millions Of Calif Vote-By-Mail Ballots Unreturned

As of Monday morning, many counties had received only about half of the absentee ballots they had mailed out.

More than 7.6 million absentee ballots were requested statewide for the general election. In some counties, vote-by-mail is expected to exceed in-person voting.

I never received my ballot. Also I am in Madera county, and it said Los Angeles county my old county. I crossed out LA county and wrote Madera. I thought I was going to be 40 miles away from my polling place, but as luck will have it, I will be in my district tomorrow.
