โ€œThere have been multiple people who experienced this,โ€ a poll worker said. โ€œWe donโ€™t know how or why their party affiliation was changed.โ€

Some California voters are questioning the electoral process after they received the wrong ballot leading up to the Primary Election on March 5.

One such voter said he is a lifelong registered Republican, but received a no-party preference ballot in the mail.

He said he noticed there was an issue because he wanted to vote for former President Donald Trump and found no such option on his ballot.

โ€œI got my ballot in the mail, and I was going to vote early, but when I looked to where it said president of the United States, it didnโ€™t have anybody there,โ€ Saul, a 48-year-old wine bottle manufacturer from Madera who gave only his first name, told The Epoch Times.

Alarmed by the error, he said he took the ballot to the Madera County Government Center on Super Tuesday and told election officials that he had received the wrong ballot.

At first, they told him he had registered as no-party preference.

โ€œSomebody switched it,โ€ Saul said. โ€œI know that I did not switch it.โ€

But after he had argued his point and demanded a new ballot, officials re-registered him as a Republican and gave him the correct ballot.

โ€œAll of this thatโ€™s going on, itโ€™s kind of fishy,โ€ Saul said. โ€œI just hope my vote counts.โ€

Concerned for residents in rural areas without easy access to the government center, he wondered how widespread the issue was.

โ€œAnd if thatโ€™s happening here, it might be happening across the whole country,โ€ Saul said. โ€œAnd if that could get mixed up so easily, what about two ballots going to the same person?โ€

A Madera County poll worker told The Epoch Times moments after the incident that Saulโ€™s case was not the only such error of the day.

โ€œThere have been multiple people who experienced this,โ€ the poll worker said. โ€œWe donโ€™t know how or why their party affiliation was changed.โ€

Poll workers said that any voter who brought in a ballot and told them there was a mistake was immediately re-registered and given the proper form, but it is unclear how many wrong ballots were distributed in Madera or other counties.
