Friend,
In our last fundraising email, we incorrectly described a discovery of undeliverable mail-in ballot applications as a discovery of mail-in ballots.
An untold amount of these mail-in ballot applications, deemed "undeliverable" by the US Postal Service, remain locked inside a state archives facility.
Per the Herald's reporting:
Lawmakers first asked (Secretary of the Commonwealth William) Galvin about the number of undeliverable ballot applications in a letter last December that the secretary’s office never responded to.
Galvin spokeswoman Debra O’Malley said Thursday the lawmakers’ request for access to the archives is under review.
She stressed in an email there are “absolutely no ballots being stored” there — just “unused ballot applications that were always intended to be returned to our office if they were not able to be delivered.”
While the MassGOP regrets the error, the party is requesting a count of the total number of undeliverable Massachusetts ballot applications.
Yours,
John Milligan
Political Director
Massachusetts Republican Party
