2020 Presidential Race

Small numbers end up to be large numbers and I wouldn't say they were "lost". It isn't a coincidence they were ALL from members of the military.
I didn't read anything nefarious listed in the statement. The important part is they caught the mistake/whatever you want to call it.

Yes, glad they caught it. Hopefully all election officials around the country will be more diligent going forward.
 
U.S. Attorney: Military Ballots, Cast for Trump, Found Discarded in Pennsylvania

Several military ballots cast for President Donald Trump have been recovered after federal authorities opened an unspecified investigation regarding mail-in ballots in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office Middle District of Pennsylvania said in a Thursday statement:

1. Your source is difficult to read, wading through all of the ads for Trump memorabilia and anti-Obama propaganda (a little late for that, btw) is a chore. How can anyone take that site seriously?

2. Nothing, I repeat, nothing is an excuse for not simply acknowledging a peaceful transition of power. It’s essential to our success as a country.

3. Here is a quote from your article: ““Conflicting, vague, and ambivalent managerial signals could also sow substantial doubt about whether the USPS is up to the task, whether it possesses the institutional will power and commitment to its historical mission, and so to handle the exceptional burden associated with a profoundly critical task in our democratic system, that of collecting and delivering election mail a few weeks from now,” the judge added.“

That is this administration’s responsibility. It directly points to faults of the WH and Trump’s appointees. So if there is worry about capacity, beef up the capacity. Don’t handicap an organization and then use that handicap to try and absolve your own shortcomings.

We might need to hold off a second, some outlets/journalists are reporting these were primary ballots.

Yep, it's an every day thing that the FBI and State Police investigate a county election board.
The statement specifically stated they were "discarded".

Statement Of U.S. Attorney Freed On Inquiry Into Reports Of Potential Issues With Mail-In Ballots
HARRISBURG - On Monday, September 21, 2020, at the request of Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis, the Office of the United States Attorney along with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Scranton Resident Office, began an inquiry into reports of potential issues with a small number of mail-in ballots at the Luzerne County Board of Elections.
Since Monday, FBI personnel working together with the Pennsylvania State Police have conducted numerous interviews and recovered and reviewed certain physical evidence. Election officials in Luzerne County have been cooperative. At this point we can confirm that a small number of military ballots were discarded. Investigators have recovered nine ballots at this time. Some of those ballots can be attributed to specific voters and some cannot. All nine ballots were cast for presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Our inquiry remains ongoing and we expect later today to share our up to date findings with officials in Luzerne County. It is the vital duty of government to ensure that every properly cast vote is counted.

Well, that's different.
 
He hasn’t attacked our democracy.... the man just talks.... he always does this...... you all get your panties in a bunch and nothing happens....this will be no differetn

Lazy and intellectually dishonest response. Hey everybody, words no longer matter according to Volbeast so just say whatever you want without consequence. Go tell your boss how you really feel and then just say that you were just talking.
 
Per the statement from the US Attorney, someone reported it on Monday and they checked it out by today. The US Attorney also said it was a small number of ballots, not sure why that is being left out of the headlines posted.
In a perfect world, no ballots would ever be lost. The good thing is they found them.
Odd that in a 50/50 election all of the ballots recovered were for the same candidate. What say you Zep.
