Baltimore post office discovers 2020 mail-in ballots

[JustTheNews] 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 Joe 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."

Nick Frisone, a Baltimore resident who received his 2020 ballot this month, said he is unlikely to go back to mail-in voting.

"If there’s another pandemic, I’ll get a hazmat suit and just go in-person," he said.

Maryland has experienced other issues in recent elections. The Frederick County Board of Elections decertified the state's 2022 primary election results in the county after finding a problem with vote totals earlier this month.

#1 Nick Frisone, a Baltimore resident who received his 2020 ballot this month, said he is unlikely to go back to mail-in voting.

Some 40 presidential terms and some two hundred and fifty years have come and gone without the assistance of computerized voting, mail-in ballots, and drop boxes.

After having seen the corruption these methods produce, why must we insist on continuing with them now? A rhetorical question of course.

#2 We've had mail in ballots for decades - usually reserved for those in uniform under federal orders to be someplace else in the world other than their local voting location.

#4 In the cases where you ask for a mail-in and don't receive it, vote provisionally. In some cases you may find that your missing mail-in ballot was voted. In that case, you have uncovered fraud.

#6 I was given a mail-in ballot two years ago and I got another one last month. That time and this time around I'll have it with me when I go to vote and if it ever got to the point where someone voted in my stead and they tried to deny me my vote, I'll wave it in their faces as Hurricane Raj quickly gets to Category 5.
