Elections officials seek ‘dozens’ of ballots missing from Richmond drop box

Contra Costa County elections officials are trying to determine why some election ballots deposited into a county drop box in Richmond on Oct. 12 have gone missing.

Scott Konopasek, Contra Costa’s assistant registrar of voters, said Thursday that county officials do not know why “dozens, max” of ballots that were placed in the drop box at Richmond City Hall cannot be accounted for.
