South Carolina election ballots reportedly found in Maryland this week

[FOX] South Carolina election ballots reportedly ended up in Maryland this week, after mail-in voting for the Palmetto State’s June 9 primary has already begun, according to local news reports.

South Carolina election officials may cut ties with the company they used, Minnesota printer SeaChange, over the mix-up after about 20 Charleston County absentee ballots were found outside the state, the reports say.

Election officials say this isn’t the first absentee ballot issue they’ve had with the company, which prints and mails ballots for 13 South Carolina counties.

Some voters in Greenville County received the wrong absentee ballots when the Democratic presidential primary and the special election for sheriff were held just 10 days apart, Election Commission spokesman Chris Whitmire told the Post and Courier. Voters in Charleston received ballots that were folded in a way that made them tough to read by scanning machines.

In a year that will see record numbers of absentee voting due to the coronavirus pandemic, the election integrity of absentee voting has become a major issue, particularly among Republicans who warn of possible voter fraud.

#2 I had a lovely conversation with one of the clerks at the Butler County Board of Elections. It seems all of the 317 delayed votes came from the same post office — mine. She was very apologetic, and said our secretary of state is furious.

#6 Gone are the days of the locally produced, organically grown voter fraud. Nowadays its all mass produced big label brands like Clinton, or Obama, or Pelosi. Sure, it says hand crafted in small batches, but everybody knows machine produce with a regional label.

#7 Didn't the Politburo delegate that to the community organizer level?
