A week after initial ballots were sent, most ballots appeared to be missing from the P.O. box.

"I don't see anything back there for you," a postal worker told Dokoupil when he received the mail. "That's all I have back there right now."

After asking for a manager and explaining the situation to them, the votes were found.

"They had them somewhere else," the postal worker said.

The most basic, and easily foreseeable problem with vote-by-mail came up during the experiment.

Why on earth wouldn't my mail be with my mail? Yeah, that is rhetorical, as we all really know why...
