In 2024, California threw out 122,480 mail ballots. Not fraud. Paperwork. Most of them because the signature on the envelope didn't match a driver's license signed at sixteen. The voter never found out. The state built a free fix and almost nobody talks about it. Sign up at WheresMyBallot.sos.ca.gov and the county texts you when your ballot is received and again when it's counted. If they flag your signature, you get a form and time to fix it. Two minutes, once. So get it in the box by October 19. Fill it out, sign the back, mail it or drop it in any county box, no stamp. Then track it. Early means the county processes it this week, and if something is wrong you hear about it while there is still time. DeSaulnier has held this seat twelve years and never had to earn your vote. He's counting on you voting out of habit, or not at all. A ballot that is signed, mailed and tracked is the only kind that fires him. Voting should be easy to do and hard to manipulate. Keep vote by mail. Paper ballots as the permanent audit trail. And a text on your phone that says counted. Trust the system. Verify your ballot. Fire him on November 3.
