She attempted to alert the sheriff\u2019s office, but was reportedly told by authorities to get in touch with the postal service instead.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Registrar\u2019s Office confirmed to The Daily Wire that the ballots were for California\u2019s upcoming primary election on June 7. Under a new state law, every registered voter in California <a href=\"https:\/\/ktla.com\/news\/california\/ballots-mailed-out-for-june-7-primary-election-in-california-heres-what-to-know\/\">will receive<\/a> mail-in ballots for that election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI turned the corner and I just saw this box of envelopes, and it was a USPS box,\u201d Repaci <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxla.com\/news\/woman-finds-box-of-mail-in-ballot-on-east-hollywood-sidewalk-la-county-registrar-investigating\">told<\/a> Fox 11. \u201cI picked some envelopes up and I saw they were ballot.\u201dI actually called the Sheriff\u2019s Department,\u201d Repacci explained. \u201cI couldn\u2019t get through, so I emailed them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Repaci kept the ballots in her possession as she waited for an answer, but she received \u201can email back from a deputy basically in so many words saying it wasn\u2019t their problem, and to contact the USPS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, she was put in touch with Los Angeles County\u2019s Registrar\u2019s Office. Registrar Dean Logan picked up the ballots from Repaci.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe (Logan) picked them up. I made sure he was legit,\u201d she explained. \u201cHe gave me a card, and took a photo of the box.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was so much stress and for just one person to get back to me. What do I do here? Now if it happens to someone else, they don\u2019t know what to do,\u201d Repaci remarked. \u201cThey\u2019ll just put them in a dumpster or throw them in the trash. I just don\u2019t think it should have been this hard to figure out what to do with legal ballots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For its part, the L.A. County registrar\u2019s office released a statement saying, \u201cThanks to the cooperation of the person who found the ballots, we were able to quickly respond and coordinate the secure pickup of the ballots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have reissued new ballots to the impacted voters,\u201d the office added. \u201cEarly signs indicate that this was an incident of mail theft and not a directed attempt at disrupting the election. We are cooperating with the United States Postal Service and law enforcement to investigate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Repaci, however, appeared dismayed the ballots went missing in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a country of freedom and our votes should matter and something like this should never happen,\u201d Repaci told the media.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire reached out to California\u2019s Secretary of State\u2019s office Elections Division staff for a comment regarding this report.
