Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.
Claimant: Social Media
Claim: If you vote no on Prop 50 to stop the redistricting, it shows through the envelope, making it easy for Democrats to cheat.
Rating: MOSTLY FALSE
Explanation: Some Sacramento County mail-in ballot envelopes have small holes, but these are designed to assist low-vision voters and ensure ballots aren’t left inside. While certain ballot-folding methods might make marks visible, they don’t reveal how someone voted. There’s no evidence the holes are used for tampering, and doing so would be a felony under California law.
