To the editor: Not solely is the complete conspiracy concept false, however the declare that it’s doable to see the voter’s desire by means of a gap within the return envelope is demonstrably inaccurate, not less than for Los Angeles County ballots (“California ballot design prompts false conspiracy theories that the November election is rigged,” Oct. 14). The “sure” and “no” circles for voting are lower than an inch from the poll fold (or backside of the envelope, relying in your placement). The holes within the envelope are roughly two inches from the underside and 4 inches from the highest of the envelope. Whereas ballots in different counties might have completely different layouts, L.A. County is California’s most populated by far and makes up a large quantity of the ballots.
It’s disappointing that the secretary of state urged that voters might need to take further steps to guard the privateness of their ballots with out mentioning this. Additionally it is disappointing that the Los Angeles Instances didn’t embody this fact-check in its article.
