I’m not saying that it’s likely or that it would have any effects.

      Try this one:
      https://abc7.com/post/sierra-madre-man-finds-stack-mail-ballots-storm-drain-weeks-ahead-election/15435908/

      This news story is about 12 ballots in total that someone yanked out of the neighborhood’s mailboxes. This could easily have been a neighbor doing it for other reasons. While I wouldn’t overlook it, it seems like an isolated incident.

      Call me crazy, but either that person is exaggerating or read only the headline, but they seem either on edge or on some weird agenda.

        Thanks! I was somewhat worried about putting my ballot in my mailbox instead of a ballot collection box specifically because of a fear of this. But ultimately I decided that I live pretty far from areas where that may happen, I put the ballot in right before bed so it could be picked up first thing in the morning, and I decided that even if it got stolen, it wouldn’t matter all that much since my state is heavily blue.
