They did a really good job on ads. Don’t look up how much they spent just on fooling the population.

Can I just say my mail in ballot never got counted as far as I can tell, every past election we get notice from BallotTrax that the ballot was received and counted. No one I know got that notice; I got the BallotTrax "your ballot has shipped" mail but not that it was received and counted. I wonder if there's huge delays in processing mail in ballots, which might change results.

Mine was stalled like that, even after I turned in the ballot last Thursday. Finally showed as counted on Monday.

Mine hasn’t either, and I also wanted to be hopeful that there’ll be enough slow counted votes to turn it… but I don’t know

I received it as a text:

A message from California Secretary of State on behalf of County Registrar. Your ballot for the November 3, 2026, General Election was received and will be counted. Thank you for voting!

You should be able to check your current status following the info here:

California always has delays in Getting everything through the system, a side effect of having reasonable election laws that let you mail in ballots up to election say, a huge population, and a thorough counting process. Be patient but follow up.

I turned mine in yesterday and got the confirmation it was received today. I did a drop off box and not the mail though, but it has 7 days to get there to be counted.

I didn't get a notice, but went to the county website that shows it was accepted and counted.
