A U.S. Postal Service employee is out of a job amid an investigation into over 100 absentee ballots discarded in a dumpster in Louisville, Kentucky.
A contractor found the unopened 112 ballots while renovating a home in Jefferson County on Thursday. Additionally, two political flyers were discovered by special agents with the Postal Service Office of the Inspector General.
“When the investigation is concluded, the case will be presented for federal prosecution to the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Special Agent Scott Balfour said in a statement.
The case has been turned over to the U.S. attorney’s office, Balfour said.
Such incidents are “exceedingly rare,” Balfour said.
Voters who don’t receive an absentee ballot by Oct. 28 can go to any polling site, sign an affidavit saying they did not receive the ballot, and vote in person, said Nore Ghibaudy, spokesman for the Jefferson County clerk’s office.
Anyone, anywhere, can be bought off. Especially with the type of money Soros throws around.
Good. These low on the totem pole people will change their tune if prosecutions go forward for defrauding activities.
“rarely happens” right, sure, I believe that.
Isn’t distraction of mail a Federal crime?
Firing him is step #1
Now charge him like anyone else
Why is it Balfour’s responsibility to tell us how “rare” this is?
What motive is there to tell us the check is in the mail, free beer tomorrow, trust us...?
Does this guy know what “rare” means?
I doubt Soros has bought postal employees.
Probably either lazy or biased.
If other mail with the ballots, then lazy.
If only ballots, then biased.
Was the Mailman working in a particularly conservative political area by chance?
How does this person know that this is “rare”? It is an unproven assertion.
He likes his tube steaks rare...............
Don't sweat it buddy; you'll have a teaching job at Harvard's Kennedy "School" in no time.
Let’s say a sheriff or someone like that went to a polling place, pulled 112 people out of line, and ordered them to go home. That would make national news.
But a letter carrier throws away 112 ballots and eh, who in the mainstream media cares?
Same canned response dems say about voter fraud. Disgusting.
I’m wondering, were these military ballots?
How did he know who these people voted for?
Did he open all of them?
How many did he trash that didn’t get found?.....................
How many did he trash that weren’t found?...............
Such incidents are “exceedingly rare,” Balfour said.
**************
But becoming less rare.
“Such incidents are “exceedingly rare,” Balfour said.”
Interesting that a .5% death rate from CV-19 is the most horrible catastrophe ever having befallen mankind; but depriving 112 people their vote while Trump threatens our democracy and is selling us out to the Russians is no big deal.
