But the delivery failures highlight the risks in relying on the mail service to deliver ballots close to Election Day. The Postal Service had warned voters not to mail ballots within one week of the election. More than half of the late ballots processed Wednesday were in California, with 25,000 in San Diego alone. If those margins become close, the late mail ballots may come into play. In Arizona, Biden’s current 70,000-vote lead is not likely to be affected by the roughly 400 late ballots found there.
