A large batch of mail, including several mailed-in ballots, were discovered in a ditch along a Wisconsin road on Tuesday. Fox 11 reported the Outagamie County Sheriff’s Office said three trays were found in a ditch early in the morning. The mail was found “near the intersection of highways 96 and CB, near the Appleton International Airport” and was turned over to the postal service. “The United States Postal Inspection Service immediately began investigating and we reserve further comment on this matter until that is complete,” spokesman Bob Sheehan told the news station. The postal service did not disclose how...

This report from WTAE in Pittsburgh is getting some attention today. About 2 million Pennsylvanians have requested mail-in-ballots for the 2020 election but there are concerns that not everyone knows how they should be returned.The ballots come with three parts: The ballot itself, a “secrecy envelope” which is just an envelope with the words “Official Election Ballot” printed on the front, and the outer envelope in which you mail everything back to the state. The problem is that some people haven’t been putting their ballots inside the secrecy envelope before mailing it back. In the primary election that wouldn’t...

The 72nd Emmy Awards, broadcast live on ABC, pushed vote-by-mail with the ceremony’s host Jimmy Kimmel being handed a list of Emmy nominees by actor Anthony Carrigan, who played a Russian from Florida, donning a USPS uniform, who says to Kimmel “it’s okay to mail in” your ballot. “Welcome back to the Emmys. We have a lot of awards to give out. And I intend to do that as soon as I get the batch of envelopes which are definitely supposed to be here now,” Jimmy Kimmel said. “You’re the postman? What happened to Colin?”

Three days late, and no postmark needed: That’s the ruling on mail votes from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. State law clearly says absentee ballots must be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day. But on Thursday the court controlled by Democrats, in a case filed by Democrats, rewrote the law in a 4-3 vote, with four Democrats in the majority, 47 days before Nov. 3. “There is no ambiguity regarding the deadline set by the General Assembly,” the court’s majority admits. To overturn it, they cite a line in Pennsylvania’s constitution: “Elections shall be free and equal; and no power,...

United States Postal Service workers who deliver mail on Chicago’s south and west sides are threatening to halt service to select neighborhoods after a mail carrier was shot while on the job in the city’s Burnside neighborhood. “The 24-year-old woman, who works as a United States Postal Service mail carrier, was shot at 91st Street and Ellis Avenue just after 11:35 a.m. while on the job,” ABC 7 Chicago reported earlier in September. “Chicago Fire Department officials said she was critically hurt after being shot multiple times.” The mail carrier was not the shooting’s intended target, Chicago police officials said,...

The FBI and Secret Service are investigating a package containing the highly-toxic poison ricin that was mailed to President Trump last week, CNN is reporting. The package was intercepted by law enforcement, the report said. Two tests were done to confirm the presence of ricin in the package, law enforcement sources told the network.

From an email from WiscoDave From comments by GVDL Have no idea of the veracity of this. Definitely worth looking into, though. “If you get a mail in ballot for the November election, do not destroy it or throw it away. If you do and you go to vote, they will assume you’ve already voted because they have a record that you got a mail-in ballot. Then you will not be allowed to vote on election day. You must bring the mail-in ballot with you. Otherwise you will not get to vote. Technically you will get to vote but you’ll...

Now ballots will be counted if they're received by 5 p.m. on Nov. 6 -- as long as they're postmarked by 8 p.m. on Election Day, according to the court’s order.

The Democrats don't have to cheat in the casting of ballots. They simply don't have to count the ballots at all. It's quite clever, and Professor Tribe, along with the U.S. Postal Service, provided the roadmap. Democrats will push mail-in ballots, for voter safety, they say — as in it's safe to attend John Lewis's funeral without distancing, but try that for your own family member's funeral. The media will fan the flames with exaggerated case counts and deaths. Democrat governors will keep their subjects in fear with increasing mandates – masks, face shields, school and business shutdowns — such...

Pennsylvania has already suffered one interminable mail-vote delay in 2020, and a repeat in November could draw the entire country into a legal brawl, while putting the result of the presidential election into serious doubt. How about heading off this too-predictable debacle before it happens? A week after the June 2 primary, about half the counties in the Keystone State were still tallying ballots. On June 11, Philadelphia alone had 42,255 votes uncounted. President Trump won Pennsylvania in 2016 by 44,292. If Mr. Trump and Joe Biden run neck and neck in November, how long might Pennsylvania keep the Electoral...

Democrats have begun running up a lopsided advantage in early voting as well as absentee ballot requests, in an election what has seen an unprecedented split on voting strategy and furious attacks by the president on mail-voting. The advantage is pronounced in the battleground states that will decide the election, and that are attracting candidate visits and a TV air war. The differential in absentee ballot requests has hit three-to-one in Pennsylvania and North Carolina, two states that President Donald Trump won in 2016 that Joe Biden is hoping to strip back. The advantage in the Keystone state has extended...

How To Defeat Mail-In-Voting Part IIIBy J. JohnsonHopefully you have read the 2 previous articles I have written on this subject. In part 1, we talked about the immediate steps that should be taken. In part 2, we discussed the triggers to watch for before the election and warning signs. We are pleased to see that even prominent talk show hosts have made a point to get to the polls early and vote – just like we said. Let’s see what else have come to the surface since our last visit, and what we can do about it.Recent News: The...

Well, it started. Yesterday I heard on the radio that some Texas judge ruled that for all intent and purpose mail in ballots do not have to be signed by anybody. Well, not unsigned, just anybody can sign for anybody. He/she ruled that if verifiers (?) say the signature doesn't match one on record something along the lines of launching a rocket to Mars has to be accomplished before the ballot is NOT counted. Make that a democratic ballot. Hmmm 'democratic' was not mentioned and neither was Mars but in general all mail in ballots must be counted REGARDLESS!!!!! It...

A man was caught on surveillance camera dumping piles of US mail in a California parking lot, according to news reports. The footage shows an unidentified man pulling bag after bag of mail out of the back of a Budget rental truck under the cover of night and leaving it in a pile at the edge of the lot, CNN said in a report Tuesday. “It was completely unusual,” Lilia Serobian, who owns 7Q Spa Laser & Aesthetics, which owns the lot, told the network. “It’s suspicious. You start thinking, ‘OK, something is going on,’ because no one has access to all...

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - Northridge resident Donna, who didn’t want her last name used for fear of retaliation, isn’t shy about her political beliefs. “Trump is a great President.” With her giant Trump flag proudly displayed on her house, Donna believes she was targeted by someone who wrote BLM on her mail. She says that person was a mail carrier who she believes was caught on tape Thursday by her neighbor’s security camera. “His camera showed him walking to my house. He had the mail in his hand and he’s writing,” Donna told FOX 11. Her neighbor, Carlos Sanchez, backs up...

One of the most ridiculous notions in society is that a valuable, negotiable document “protected” by a thin piece of paper and laid in an unlocked box at the curb is somehow “secure.” What moron believes that? Many mailboxes are curbside, but even those on porches and gates are easily accessible to the public. I’ve even seen USPS drop boxes at PO branches vandalized with sticky glue at the box entrance to trap outgoing mail. So, what is guaranteed as secure when it leaves your hand? I bring this up to point out the horrific mess that mail-in ballots present....

Twitter slapped warning labels on several of President Trump’s tweets on Thursday after the tweets encouraged voters who submitted ballots by mail to visit their polling stations on Election Day in order to verify their vote had been counted. Twitter deemed the messages a violation of its policy against advocating illegal election activity. Preventing users from reading the posts without first viewing a warning that the tweet “violated the Twitter rules about civic and election integrity,” the social media behemoth conveniently neglected to disclose its partnership with two groups financed by leftist donors deeply involved in voter participation efforts, including...

To help ensure it didn’t accidentally fall out of the pocket, he did, at the least, use a safety pin to secure the pouch inside the pocket. The famed 45.52 carat Hope Diamond — estimated to have formed around 1.1 billion years ago — after about four centuries of various private ownership was donated in 1958 by Harry Winston to the National Museum of Natural History for their gem collection. Rather than personally transporting the incredibly valuable diamond to said the institution, Winston simply boxed it up and put it in the regular mail, trusting that the US postal service...

Jerry W. • South West Sedona There is no real evidence of fraud in mail in voting, except GOP lies. 5 hr ago ___________________________________________________ the_Watchman [used a Nextdoor name] • Payson Sorry, Jerry, but the June election in Paterson, New Jersey was just thrown out by a judge after 20% of the mail-in ballots were invalidated due to fraud. Additionally, one of the candidates in the municipal election was indicted on three counts. One of which was being found with ballots in his possession. And, no, the candidate was not GOP. Further, former President Jimmy Carter headed a commission on...

Piles of mail were found in two separate locations in Glendale Thursday morning, including one incident where a rented truck was captured on surveillance video dumping bags of unopened letters and packages in the parking lot of a business. The first incident was reported at 7:30 a.m., in the 1000 block of Allen Avenue, according to Glendale Police Department Sgt. Christian Hauptmann. Roughly two hours later, police received another call regarding dumped mail, this time behind a business in the 1600 block of Glenoaks Boulevard, according to Hauptmann. It was the second reported incident — outside 7Q Spa Laser &...
