California Secretary of State Shirley Weber is warning that “numerous” voters have received an “inaccurate” message suggesting their ballots for California’s special election on redistricting have not been counted.
And she wants the public to know those messages were not sent by her office or local election officials.
“Our office has received numerous reports from voters that they have received inaccurate text messages from Ballot Now. This has caused voters to believe their returned ballots have not been received or processed by county elections officials,” Weber said in a statement.
“Let me be clear: Ballot Now is not in any way affiliated with the California Office of the Secretary of State,” she added.
Weber reminded voters that the best place to go for accurate information about their ballot is the secretary of state’s website at www.sos.ca.gov or the websites of county registrars’ offices.
