Late flood of D.C. drop box ballots causes headache for elections board

D.C.’s first primary election in which every registered voter was mailed a ballot saw a flood of voters drop them off on Election Day, drawing out the count for days, with officials still tabulating 13,000 ballots as of Friday afternoon. Data from Tuesday’s primary shows that voters made great use of their mailed ballots, which were similarly sent to registered voters ahead of the 2020 general election: Nearly 60 percent of the 108,000 or so ballots that had been counted by Friday morning were cast by mail or drop box, according to the elections board.
