What is going on in Opa-Locka, Florida?
The same mail processing facility that is allegedly holding uncounted absentee ballots, was also responsible for sending Cesar Sayoc’s fake pipe bombs through the system.
The postal service is currently investigating ballots mailed through the Opa-locka processing center, as reported by The Miami Herald:
The U.S. Postal Service is investigating its handling of absentee ballots mailed through a sorting facility in Opa-locka to “verify that all ballots have been handled in accordance to USPS service standards.”
A small group of activists gathered outside the federal building on Friday claiming possible voter suppression and sharing photographs they claimed showed scores of uncounted ballots sitting inside the facility’s mail room.
“At this time, we have no information to suggest any
ballots were not properly handled and provided to local election
officials, per our established process,” said Debra J. Fetterly, a USPS
spokesperson with the South Florida District. “The Postal Service
recommends that ballots be mailed as early as possible, in order to
receive a postmark prior to or on Election Day.”
Local activists said an employee of the mailroom
claimed scores of ballots had been sitting there for up to several
weeks. But the Miami-Dade County Supervisor of Elections office said
there was “zero” chance any ballots had been invalidated during the
mailing process and that any ballots mailed late would eventually be
delivered to them.
