300 recall ballots, drugs, multiple driver's licenses found in vehicle of passed out felon: Torrance
KTLA
Torrance police are investigating the discovery of hundreds of recall election ballots in a vehicle where a felon was found passed out with drugs, a loaded firearm and multiple drivers licenses one week ago, authorities said Monday.
Investigators are trying to figure out how the election ballots ended up in the suspects vehicle and what their intent was in having them, police officials said in a statement. This is an isolated incident and is not related to any additional thefts of election ballots.
The discovery came the same day that absentee ballots were mailed out to registered California voters for the upcoming Sept. 14 recall election of Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Any voter whose ballot was determined to have been taken in the theft will get a new one prior to the election, according to police.
