Photos Show Scores of Uncounted Ballots in Opa-locka Mail Center
Miami New Times ^ | 11-9-2018 | Jerry Ianelli

Miami-Dade County announced today that it has finished counting votes for the 2018 election.

But photos obtained by New Times show scores of mail-in ballots sitting inside an Opa-locka mail distribution center — the same center that was evacuated last month after alleged mail bomber Cesar Sayoc's pipe bombs passed through the facility.

Several local activists demonstrated outside both the mail facility and at the Miami-Dade County Elections Department to try to bring attention to the ballots. Two sources who spoke with New Times allege hundreds of ballots might still be inside.

Suzy Trutie, a spokesperson for the Elections Department, told New Times her office was aware of the ballots but confirmed nothing else about them. She said that, per state law, any ballots not delivered to the Miami-Dade Elections Department by 7 p.m. on Election Day could not be counted toward the 2018 total.

"We do our best to educate voters that, if you’re voting vote-by-mail, then your ballot had to be at the Elections Department by Tuesday, November 6," she said. "Not everybody mailed back in time."

Asked whether the ballots had been sitting inside the Opa-locka center undelivered on Election Day — or when the place was evacuated — Trutie referred questions to the United States Postal Service. (After this story was initially published, Trutie added that the Elections Department ran daily post-office pick-ups this election season, and picked up ballots three different times on Election Day.)

Ty Russell, a reporter with CBS Miami, tweeted minutes ago that he'd spoken with USPS and that it was not aware of any ballots being mishandled.

I suspect that their electoral process has been a complete fiction for many years.

I suspect that this has been going on for many years all over the country. Think about it!

From looking at the pictures in the article it appears that the bin marked ballots only has at most 4 or 5 ballots.

The other photograph looks like ordinary mail and none of the bins are marked ballots only.

Also from looking at other articles on the website it appears to lean far to the left.

In my opinion this is left wing agitprop to fuel the ‘Republicans are suppressing the vote’ narrative.

Hidden ballots, open borders, Muslim congresswomen, conservative being attacked in their homes, restaurants, being told to leave, what they refer to as THEIR country....

Barrack HUSSEIN Obama, the greatest, most devastating and well-planned terrorist attack to ever strike American soil, has exceeded beyond all expectations.

America sent man to the Moon and yet can’t design a nationwide election system that is not susceptible to fraud and abuse.
