Oh it can still happen, didn't they just "lose" 4500 mail-in ballots over on one of the states earlier this week?

You might be thinking of Colorado where they somehow failed to notice that a truck with a bunch of ballots to be sent to voters wasn't unloaded at the post office until people started complaining that they didn't get a ballot. This is quite different from losing voted ballots or not recording a vote correctly.

Georgia lost applications, not ballots. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/25/us/politics/senate-house-... However there was an incident in Arkansas where the Democratic candidate for secretary of state was left off the ballot. https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2018/oct/22/garland-coun...
Seriously, yes, that system is preferred to increasing access and activity in our democracy, but it seems there's a large contingent that feel it's in their party's best interest to not make it easier to vote. I'm sure it's fair to claim that they honestly believe their party in power is for the good of the country, but then everyone feels that way about their desired political trajectories.
