California Attorney General Says ‘Mail-in Voting Is Safe’
Bonta said 89% of Californians voted by mail in the June primary and urged voters to return ballots early or use drop boxes.
- On Monday, California Attorney General Rob Bonta held a press conference in Sacramento to reassure voters that the November 3 general election will proceed as "business as usual" despite Trump administration actions.
- Recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings blocked Trump administration attempts to restrict mail-in voting, protecting ballot deadlines and postal service handling processes against federal intervention.
- Mail-In ballots are already being distributed across California's 58 counties, with drop boxes open throughout voting locations. Of nearly 67 million mail ballots sent nationwide in 2024, only 72% were completed and returned, per Election Assistance Commission data.
- Bonta stated "it's a crime to send armed federal law enforcement, including ICE, to polling places" and pledged to deploy state election observers to ensure safe, uninterrupted voting as in prior elections.
- Election authorities recommend voters mail ballots at least a week before Election Day or use secure drop boxes to ensure timely delivery. Voters suspecting irregularities can contact the California Secretary of State's hotline at 800-345-VOTE.
