The U.S. Postal Inspection Service and officials with San Diego Countyโ€™s elections office confirmed they are investigating mail-in ballots that were found scattered along a local San Diego freeway this week.

Several ballots were found by a local driver, Brent Walters, who told Fox5 San Diego that he found them on June 7 on the same day as Californiaโ€™s primary elections near Route 163 and Interstate 8.

Walters told the outlet that he found the small stack, took photos, and shared his concerns with the office of San Diego County Registrar of Voters Cynthia Paes.

Paes confirmed that they collected the unopened mail-in ballots from Walters. Itโ€™s not clear how the mail ended up on the side of an interstate.

โ€œWe visited the site and recovered an additional two unopened ballot envelopes as well as other mail pieces unrelated to the Registrar of Voters office,โ€ Paes told the local Fox broadcaster.

The incident, she said, was referred to the U.S. Postal Service as โ€œa suspected case of stolen mail.โ€ Paes didnโ€™t elaborate.

โ€œPostal Inspectors are currently investigating the incident and unable to comment further at this time,โ€ Postal Inspector Patricia Mendoza told the outlet.

The incident comes several weeks after a woman walking her dog in Hollywood discovered mail-in ballots discarded on a sidewalk.

โ€œOur office was notified over the weekend of a mail tray found containing approximately 104 unopened, outbound Vote by Mail ballots and additional mail pieces,โ€ the LA County Registrarโ€™s Officeย toldย local media outlets in mid-May. โ€œThanks to the cooperation of the person who found the ballots, we were able to quickly respond and coordinate the secure pickup of the ballots.โ€

In that incident, the Registrarโ€™s Office said that the incident was โ€œmail theftโ€ and wasnโ€™tย โ€œa directed attempt at disrupting the election.โ€

Mail-in ballots have been flagged by Republicans and others as being flawed and insecure. Following the 2020 election, which saw a significant expansion of vote-by-mail policies, a number of Republican-led states have introduced measures to limit such measures.
