Ken Casparis, the spokesperson for the Sacramento County Registrar of Voters, stated that election integrity is not at risk and explained that the holes serve a specific purpose\u2026<em>uh-huh.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a non-issue,\u201d Casparis said. \u201cThey\u2019re very important. So there are a couple of reasons that we have the holes on the back of our ballot and one on the front.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Casparis explains that the envelope\u2019s design features two holes on the front and one on the back. This design serves two main purposes: it allows election staff to easily verify when a ballot has been removed, and it acts as an accessibility aid for voters with limited vision. \u201cIt gives them something to feel so they know where to sign their name,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Casparis stated that if voters are genuinely concerned, they can fold their ballots in a manner that conceals their votes. \u201cSo, the back of the card is left blank, just fold it, you\u2019ve got nothing on either side of this, stick in your ballot envelope,\u201d Casparis said.<\/p>\n<p>That odor you\u2019re beginning to smell is\u00a0<em>cow manure<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\">\n<div id=\"gform_wrapper_16\" class=\"gf_browser_gecko gform_wrapper gform-theme gform-theme--foundation gform-theme--framework gform-theme--orbital gpoll_enabled_wrapper gpoll_wrapper\" data-form-theme=\"orbital\" data-form-index=\"0\">\n<div id=\"gf_16\" class=\"gform_anchor\" tabindex=\"-1\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"gform_heading\">\n<p class=\"gform_required_legend\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"gform_16\" class=\"gpoll_enabled gpoll\" action=\"https:\/\/usajournal.news\/2025\/10\/10\/is-gavin-newsoms-democratic\/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR5iUzneiz6BqfuBhTWDK2VimOf26szSJOBhErZEd17GUnHUSK10t2MRrAMqow_aem_9BkkRwb8SF7HEqJY3shJkw#gf_16\" enctype=\"multipart\/form-data\" method=\"post\" novalidate=\"\" target=\"gform_ajax_frame_16\" data-formid=\"16\">\n<div class=\"gform-body gform_body\">\n<div id=\"gform_fields_16\" class=\"gform_fields top_label form_sublabel_below description_below validation_below\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mail-in voting has begun in California for Proposition 50, a high-stakes ballot measure that would temporarily shift authority over congressional map-drawing from the state\u2019s independent redistricting commission to the state &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16438,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16437","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16437","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16437"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16437\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16439,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16437\/revisions\/16439"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/16438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16437"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cndailynews.store\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
