Why the hell is this surprising? There are only a fixed number of processing and distribution centers that ALL mail for a given area flows through. You might as well post and article saying both events occurred in the western hemisphere.

My God, BOTH of these unrelated events happened in the Western Hemisphere? You have to admit that it is an amazing coincidence. ;-)
But seriously, are these ballots being held by the postal service under GGUARD and LOCK & KEY?
Think about it they are not under guard from the moment they leave the absentees hand where ever they are and I suppose there is some obscure law where its not required until the reach the election office in the final destination
When you mail in a ballot I’d assume it goes thru the normal
postal procedures. Processing, sorting by zips/address and
finally delivery to the mailing address. I doubt seriously
that any Carrier picking up mail from your drop box uses a
lock and key.
