"Went missing" makes this sound way more nefarious than it is. It just means that the ballot wasn't returned (e.g., the person didn't vote. I vote by mail and there are elections where my ballot would have gone missing because I didn't have the time to make myself well informed enough about the candidates to place an informed vote.) I don't exactly see what's so implausible about this.
