Is California’s mail ballot system as exposed as critics suggest, or is the real story more complicated than what either side suggests?

Every election cycle, the same concerns resurface: ballots getting lost, signatures going unchecked, and results taking weeks to finalize. But the operational reality inside a county registrar’s office tells a different story.

In this episode, Orange County Registrar of Voters Bob Page, who has been overseeing elections since 2018 and runs one of the largest county operations in the state, breaks down the mechanics of California’s vote-by-mail system, the certification timeline, the upcoming voter ID initiative, and what petition signature fraud looks like from inside the office responsible for catching it.
