Rejected ballots rise in Skagit County, post office questioned
Original: Increase in rejected ballots in Skagit County raises questions for post office
Skagit County, Washington, has reported an increase in mail-in ballots rejected ahead of an election, and county officials are raising questions about the role of the US Postal Service in the trend. Rejected ballots can disenfranchise voters, and local election offices typically urge voters to check signature and postmark requirements. The issue has drawn attention to how reliably the postal service is delivering ballots on time.
Why now: Concerns about mail delays affecting ballot rejection rates and voter disenfranchisement in a Washington county.
