In a surprising twist for the upcoming special election, around 100 unvoted ballots for Proposition 50 turned up at a homeless encampment in Sacramento County. Yes, you read that right! While deputies were busy tidying up the area near Elder Creek and Mayhew roads, they stumbled upon these ballots nestled among other pieces of stray mail. One could say the ballots decided to take an unexpected camping trip instead of being mailed out to voters. Talk about a serious detour!
Once the ballots were retrieved, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office wasted no time returning them to the Department of Voter Registration and Elections. Unfortunately, their journey doesn’t involve any snacks or campfire stories—they’ve been voided and new ones are being issued to affected voters. It’s a reminder that even when we think ballots are safely tucked away, they can end up wandering off into unexpected territory. Just think twice before trusting your ballot to make a break for it!
But here’s a thought: what if instead of just securing ballots, we trained them to ensure they reached the right hands—imagine ballots with GPS! So, what’s the craziest way you’ve come across something valuable? Did it ever feel like it had a mind of its own? Let’s hear your stories!
