Attention turned to missing absentee ballots Wednesday as state officials reported three tubs of them were discovered in a mail processing center and the Milwaukee Election Commission called for an investigation into a separate set of undelivered ballots.
And Fox Point officials said 100 or more ballots a day were returned to the village as undelivered in the week leading up to the election.
The discoveries emerged as would-be voters across the state expressed a host of frustrations about trying to obtain absentee ballots so they could avoid going to the polls during the coronavirus pandemic. Many have said ballots they requested long ago did not arrive by Tuesday, the deadline for getting their ballots postmarked.
"I learned today that the (Wisconsin Elections Commission) received a call from a postal service worker informing them 3 large tubs of absentee ballots from Oshkosh and Appleton, were just located."
As clerks processed absentee ballots Wednesday, they found a new issue to consider envelopes that don't have postmarks.
Postmarks aren't used on a majority of absentee ballots from municipalities that use postage meters, according to Albrecht.
He said he anticipated the postmark issue would become particularly problematic for ballots received Wednesday that were clearly sent by the deadline but that dont have a postmark.
He said he wasnt sure whether those ballots would be counted or if the U.S. Supreme Courts ruling would be interpreted literally to disqualify ballots that don't have postmarks on them.

“Well, lookee here what I found...!”
Obvious solution: Put Publishers Clearing House in charge of mailing the ballets. Somehow their crap NEVER fails to find my mailbox.
This isn't new.
Chain of custody should always be a focus. And you cannot have that through the mail.
The idea that boxes of ballots are “found” in storage rooms or the trunks of cars is abhorrent. And it just gets much worse if we rely on the mailman to suddenly show up with more votes.
My guess is that was a reserve tub. You cannot count on the PO to competently engage in voter fraud.
Well, like I’ve mentioned on other threads about this issue, remember the scene in Goodfellas in which the Mafia people go and beat up on the mailman to stop him from delivering mail from the truant officer to Henry Hill’s place. That’s about how much faith one should put in the US Postal service about having full mail in elections and ballots.
In truth, the Postal Workers Union can be relied upon to “discover” the necessary “ballots” needed to insure a democRAT “victory” in any contested election race.
100% success rate.
Not sure what will happen, other than lawsuits, but what is very clear is that the US Post Office has been the weakest link in all of this.
Postmark cancellations are critical to determine if the vote was cast prior to the close of polling. Absent postmarks, the votes cannot be legally counted.
With Post Office proving to be the weakest link, with trunk loads of ballots, is there any wonder why Democrats so desperately want voting by mail?
Why couldn’t the ballot be sent by certified mail, where you had to show an ID?
Let me guess, Republican ballots?
If a thousand ballots come in from Riverside Memorial Cemetery, I’m not happy. And I’m still not happy if they all in with proper postmark cancellations.
Oh, that would be racist.

Wisconsin this week is just an anomaly?
