U.S. Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) sent Inspector General of the U.S. Postal Service Tammy Whitcomb a letter Thursday, urging the IG to investigate reports of irregularities involving absentee ballots for the election held on Tuesday, April 7.
“Unfortunately, there have been numerous accounts from the state that USPS failed to fulfill that critical function for some voters. According to an April 8th report by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and the account of a state legislator, three tubs of absentee ballots from Appleton and Oshkosh were discovered in USPS’s Milwaukee processing center after polls closed on Tuesday. In addition, the City of Milwaukee Election Commission has requested that USPS investigate the failure of batches of absentee ballots requested on March 22nd and 23nd to be delivered to voters. Finally, the Village of Fox Point reports that USPS returned to them multiple batches of unsent absentee ballots and they were unable to obtain an explanation from their local post office as to why they were not delivered to the voters who requested them,” the senators wrote. “We are concerned there may be more examples, and request that you promptly open an investigation to determine the cause of these failures, which appear to have disenfranchised many Wisconsin voters.”

This is the kind of nonsense that gave us Senator Franken.
Of course not! There’s no fraud with these things! /s
The postal Dems know what Zip Codes are GOP precincts, so they “store” those until after the election. Or in CA in 2018, they came up with enough ballots AFTER the election to flip SEVEN seats from GOP to Dem, and said such “ballot harvesting” was made legal by a law passed by the CA Democrat legislature.
Such blatant fraud is never punished and it should be.
I hope the irregularities are that Milwaukee and Madison ballots went in the incinerator where they belong.
Another case of having a fox guard the hen house...
Tammy needs to get off her well-paid government ass and go through this with a fine toothed comb.
Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) better be more careful. She doesn’t want to let the cat out of the bag (so as to show how the Dems manage to steal elections, etc.).
No PO Box addresses permitted
Vote by mail is rife for fraud in all States.
Remember in past Federal elections when absentee votes by military personnel abroad were NOT even counted?
Well, the USPS employees ARE unionized which means Democrat.
Elections are so trashy these days. I am in favor of going back to THE show up to vote on election day at your polling station or get lost. No more absentee ballots for anyone. No more pre-election day voting
If you cannot get your lame arse out to vote on election day with a photo ID...Then get lost/
When a child - My father was proud to take me to the place where he pulled some levers for his candidates. Now this has degenerated into lamers trying to vote every which way except to physically show up on Election Day and vote.
Atleast half of any mail I get these days is missing a postmark-—OR the postmark is so faint, I cannot read it, even with a magnifying glass.
The post office has been running at a deficit for years.
A neighbor got mail from the state of Utah-—and the metered amount was 39.8 cents.
Full Measure a couple of weeks ago stated that Utah has a BILLION $$$ surplus.
How many pieces of mail does Utah state send out at a 30% DISCOUNT???
Same neighbor keeps getting polite notices from the post office: They will provide his ‘business’ with a postal meter & give him a serious discount on postage if he would like that.
That doesn’t make any sense.
In the rural valley where I live, probably half of the total population has a P O Box because the mail carrier does NOT go onto all the rural roads & into all the corners & dead end streets. You can NOT force the mail to be delivered to your house out here.
Best argument going for national vote by mail! /s
