Mail-in voting has begun in California for Proposition 50, a high-stakes ballot measure that would temporarily shift authority over congressional map-drawing from the state’s independent redistricting commission to the state legislature.
However, some voters have reported a potential privacy concern with the design of California’s mail-in ballots for Proposition 50. When the ballot is folded and placed inside the return envelope, a small punch hole reportedly aligns in a way that could reveal how an individual voted on the measure.
Only Democrats would do something like this – cheat – to ensure they don’t lose:
Sent to me by a follower. Voters in multiple California counties, including San Francisco, are reporting that their ballots have holes which reveal if they voted "NO" on Prop 50
Prop 50 would allow California to redistrict its state.

California resident got her ballot:
If you Vote No on prop 50 to stop the redistricting, it shows through the envelope
This makes it easier for Democrats to identify them and throw them in the trash pic.twitter.com/SKm8Rpe3Lc

CBS News reported as much, saying that voters specifically in Sacramento County were experiencing this issue. “If someone were unscrupulous and didn’t like how I voted, they could double-mark it, which would invalidate my vote,” Allen Wegat, a concerned voter, told CBS. “It makes it too easy for bad actors.”
Ya think?
Sacramento County election officials reported receiving a large number of emails this week from voters worried about the holes in their mail-in ballot envelopes. Ken Casparis, the spokesperson for the Sacramento County Registrar of Voters, stated that election integrity is not at risk and explained that the holes serve a specific purpose…uh-huh.
“It is a non-issue,” Casparis said. “They’re very important. So there are a couple of reasons that we have the holes on the back of our ballot and one on the front.”
Casparis explains that the envelope’s design features two holes on the front and one on the back. This design serves two main purposes: it allows election staff to easily verify when a ballot has been removed, and it acts as an accessibility aid for voters with limited vision. “It gives them something to feel so they know where to sign their name,” he said.
Casparis stated that if voters are genuinely concerned, they can fold their ballots in a manner that conceals their votes. “So, the back of the card is left blank, just fold it, you’ve got nothing on either side of this, stick in your ballot envelope,” Casparis said.
That odor you’re beginning to smell is cow manure.
