Fact Check: California didn’t send 30 million ballots to 22 million voters

Published



(The Center Square) – Rumors are circulating that California mailed 30 million ballots to 22 million registered voters.

The state, which mails ballots to every voter, reported today it has mailed out 22,790,170 vote-by-mail ballots. As of the most recent voter registration update from 60 days before the election, the state had 22,310,352 registered voters, which could suggest up to 479,818 individuals have registered to vote since Sept. 6, or that many individuals have requested new ballots to replace earlier ballots that were lost or not received.
