The Department of Justice directed the Pennsylvania county where discarded ballots were found to change its practices before the upcoming election.
U.S. Attorney David Freed said in a letter to Shelby Watchilla, director of elections for Luzerne County, that the nine discarded ballots all originated with members of the military.
Two of the ballots had been recovered by elections staff, reinserted into what appeared to be their appropriate envelopes, and resealed. One was linked to an envelope that was recovered, potentially tying it to a specific voter. The six others were simply removed and discarded, and can’t be attributed to a specific voter.
In addition to the military ballots, investigators found four official, bar-coded, absentee ballot envelopes that were empty.
The majority of the discarded ballots and envelopes were found in a dumpster.
Protocol dictates how election officials should process military ballots, including securely storing the ballots—and not opening them—until Election Day. Opening any mail-in ballot violates the law.
“The preliminary findings of this inquiry are troubling and the Luzerne County Bureau of Elections must comply with all applicable state and federal election laws and guidance to ensure that all votes—regardless of party—are counted to ensure an accurate election count,” Freed wrote.
“Even though your staff has made some attempts to reconstitute certain of the improperly opened ballots, there is no guarantee that any of these votes will be counted in the general election. In addition, our investigation has revealed that all or nearly all envelopes received in the elections office were opened as a matter of course. It was explained to investigators the envelopes used for official overseas, military, absentee and mail-in ballot requests are so similar, that the staff believed that adhering to the protocol of preserving envelopes unopened would cause them to miss such ballot requests.

A letter will do a lot of good
Federal judge to block DOJ order in 3,2,1...
Dug for coal? I thought Biden had a job as a coal polisher when he was five or six years old. Man, he keeps changing his story. What am I to believe?
instead of ditching R ballots in the swamp, Pennsylvania will now feed them through the shredder?
Dad told a lady who worked at the dump.....she claimed the county govt dumped them there.
Later dad drove back around and saw the workers covering-up the ballots with cardboard.
Dad also sent the exact location of the dumpster: A blow up of the photo shows the ballots have been signed and
have return addresses but none appear to have been opened. Is being investigated; will be back with updates.

It if was me, and it isn’t, I would get the FBI to that CA dump where all those ballots were found, photograph them, document them, seize them, and take over the investigation from the USPS. TODAY.
“It was explained to investigators the envelopes used for official overseas, military, absentee and mail-in ballot requests are so similar, that the staff believed that adhering to the protocol of preserving envelopes unopened would cause them to miss such ballot requests.”
I wonder if all the envelopes look similar or not? I know this is happening all over. Opening up ballots, re-inserting ballots, sealing back up.
I’m voting in person but if you vote absentee staple, super glue, ducktape that outside envelope that you sign. Make it hard for them to preserve that envelope.
C’mon man!
