Ballots Rejected in WA Due to Postal Changes | Spokane News

Over 20,000 ballots were rejected in Washington’s August primary — a 32% spike — due to late postmarks, sparking outrage and calls for hearings.

Rural counties like Mason (up 330%) and Yakima (over 1,200 extra rejections) hit hardest. Experts urge voters to mail ballots ASAP or use drop boxes early. Legal battles rage as states challenge the new rules, warning they’re undermining voter access. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
