Original story:
A Thursday evening update from the San Joaquin County Registrar of Voters office added less than 2,000 ballots to the current result count.
The update, posted shortly after 8 p.m. Thursday, comes nearly two days after the previous update amid reports that blurry ballot barcodes are holding up the show.
The previous report, just after 1:30 a.m. Wednesday was about 20,000 ballots or 5.3% of registered voters. The report Thursday evening brought the total to a little more than 22,000 ballots or 5.7% of the county's 385,000 registered voters.
After receiving 42,000 vote-by-mail ballots by Saturday, the Registrar of Voters announced they'd received 77,000 vote-by-mail ballots on election day alone, which they called a "significant anomaly" and attributed to a large number of people holding on to their ballots until election day to drop off at polling locations because of concerns about mail timeliness.
At about a 30% rejection rate on roughly 120,000 vote-by-mail ballots as of Wednesday due to the blurry barcodes, that's roughly 36,000 ballots that need to be duplicated. Compounding crises have plagued the Registrar of Voters office in the days before the June 7 primary election. Their leader, Registrar of Voters Heather Ditty, passed away suddenly Saturday after short-notice surgery. Olivia Hale, the assistant registrar of voters who has led the county through the primary election since Ditty’s passing, said she learned of Ditty’s declining health May 27, the same day she got a call about a problem with mail in ballots not scanning.
The defective ballots must be duplicated to be counted, a process that happens every election cycle, just not on the scale of 30% of all vote-by-mail ballots that San Joaquin County is seeing this year.
