To the editor: Not solely is your complete conspiracy idea false, however the declare that it’s potential to see the voter’s desire by a gap within the return envelope is demonstrably inaccurate, at the least for Los Angeles County ballots (“California poll design prompts false conspiracy theories that the November election is rigged,” Oct. 14). The “sure” and “no” circles for voting are lower than an inch from the poll fold (or backside of the envelope, relying in your placement). The holes within the envelope are roughly two inches from the underside and 4 inches from the highest of the envelope. Whereas ballots in different counties might have completely different layouts, L.A. County is California’s most populated by far and makes up an enormous quantity of the ballots.
It’s disappointing that the secretary of state recommended that voters may need to take further steps to guard the privateness of their ballots with out mentioning this. It is usually disappointing that the Los Angeles Instances didn’t embrace this fact-check in its article.
