One son serves in the military, and has even spent time living outside the country. Another is registered to vote in Texas. Her daughter moved away almost six years ago — yet election mail continued arriving at the family’s California address.
Pascoe said she’s tried everything to stop the ballots from arriving — including updating records through the Department of Motor Vehicles and repeatedly trying to remove outdated registrations. Pia Altavilla says election mail continues arriving at her family’s Los Angeles address for a brother who relocated to Utah four years ago.
“It’s the expense, the waste and the question of what happens to all these ballots,” she said. Another Pacific Palisades resident, Sharon Kilbride, told The Post she is still receiving ballots for people who have not used her address in years. Kilbride said she previously allowed several people participating in assistance programs to use her address as a mailing location while they sought housing and other services — but ballots keep coming.
Sharon Kilbride says ballots are still being mailed to individuals who used her address years ago but have not lived there for four to five years. Westside resident Pia Altavilla told The Post her family still receives ballots for her brother despite him moving to Utah four years ago. According to Altavilla, her brother established residency out of state years ago, but election mail continues arriving at the family’s Los Angeles address.
For Altavilla, the continuing stream of election mail illustrates what many homeowners describe as a growing disconnect between where people actually live and where ballots continue to be sent.my six kids have all moved notified the state and re-registered to vote in their new counties and we STILL receive a TON of ballots for all of them for every election!!a federal lawsuit against California Secretary of State Shirley Weber, alleging the state has failed to properly maintain voter registration records as required under the National Voter Registration Act. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of Orange County Supervisor Don Wagner and the American Independent Party of California, centers on 873,092 inactive voter registrations that remain on California’s rolls.
According to the complaint, 326,608 registrations have been inactive for at least three federal election cycles, roughly six years. Another 151,202 have been inactive for four election cycles, approximately eight years. Residents Sue Pascoe and Sharon Kilbride are among several Los Angeles County homeowners who say ballots continue arriving for people who no longer live at their addresses. Pacific Palisades resident Sharon Kilbride says ballots continue arriving for individuals who have not used her address in four to five years.
Plaintiffs argue California has failed to make a reasonable effort to remove registrations belonging to voters who moved away or became otherwise ineligible. In one widely shared social media post, a user identified as “Tiffs Notes” claimed she continues receiving ballots for all six of her adult children despite them moving away and registering elsewhere.

Understanding Preschool Options in Los Angeles CountyThis guide is meant to help you figure out your preschool options for your 2- to 4-year-olds – and how to determine the best program for your family. Preschools are a subset of childcare that are more structured programs primarily serving children 3 to 4 years old. They typically provide a curriculum-based program — often incorporating play — on what the California Department of Education recommends. Despite the options, nearly half of young Californians do not receive childcare on a regular basis — 10 or more hours per week — according to a report. Systemic barriers make it difficult for many families — especially communities of color from low-income backgrounds — to access affordable, reliable and high-quality childcare. However, California is making transitional kindergarten available to all 4-year-olds. Some teachers are making the switch from private preschools to transitional kindergarten. Others come from upper grades. Many are needed. Early childhood educator Shannon Huston has worked at both public and private programs. She is currently the Director of Family & Child Care Provider Services at Pathways LA, a local R&R serving the Downtown and West Hollywood areas. Based on her professional experience, Huston recommends state or federally funded preschool programs.
