Just got my ballot for CA.
First - there is nothing printed on the back side. Larry Elder is listed on the front page with all the other candidates (tons of them, what a joke!).
Second - there are no holes in the envelope, none. It's also not white, it's green and thick so you can't really see through it.
Third - I see no alignment marks as shown by jovan pullitzer (on 2020 election ballots) or shown by others.
I'm starting to think all the other posts are meant to scare us into not voting.
Only problem I see so far with this election is that the only viable candidate seems to be elder and I really think he's a rino, because Trump has not endorsed him. I can fill in my choice, which would have been Grenell but he's not running and if I write his name in, that's just going to muddy it even more.
