Baltimore post office discovers 2020 mail-in ballots

JTN

More than two dozen Baltimore voters received their 2020 election ballots earlier this month after the U.S. Postal Service discovered a tray of undelivered mail nearly two years too late.

The Baltimore City Board of Elections is working to figure out why the ballots were delivered late. President Biden won the heavily-Democrat city by a landslide – about eight votes to every ballot cast for then-President Trump.

Mail-in ballots technically should be prioritized, but some southeast Baltimore homes received their 2020 ballots this month. 

“The Postal Service discovered a tray of undelivered mail in a Baltimore facility on Friday, Aug. 5,” a USPS spokesperson told WMAR-TV.

The spokesperson also said the tray had what appeared to be 26 blank ballots from the Baltimore City Board of Elections to addresses with a Baltimore ZIP code and that they were delivered Aug. 6.

“We deeply regret the late delivery of these mail pieces,” he also said.

Baltimore City Election Director Armstead Jones said: “It would’ve been nice if they could’ve contacted us, so the voters wouldn’t have been confused.”

Jones, who worked as a part-time postal worker in college, said that while individual pieces of mail can be lost, “having a tray lost is a little different story.” more

  1. Speaking of special deliveries, about a dozen days ago now, I watched a special delivery truck delivery. I figure it was about 54 inches long, very tall and deep too. Very light highly figured wood. A chest of drawers, or bureau, in other places. Both functional and stylish.

  2. Not much doubt that our elections have been neglected and no one is going to willingly find a solution, because our pyss poor government won’t allow it to be repaired.
