New Jersey mailman, 26, faces up to five years in prison for 'dumping 99 ballots in the trash that were meant for voters in heavily Democratic suburbs'
2020-10-08
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] A postal employee in New Jersey dumped more than 1,800 pieces of mail, including 99 ballots for the upcoming election, that were intended for households in heavily Democratic areas, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.

Nicholas Beauchene, 26, of Kearny, faced arraignment later on Wednesday in federal court in Newark on charges of delay, secretion or detention of mail and obstruction of mail.

If convicted of delay of mail, he faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

A conviction for obstruction of mail carries a maximum penalty of six months in prison and a $5,000 fine.

It was not known if he had retained a lawyer. Beauchene has not responded to a request from DailyMail.com for comment.

Does the term 'going postal' mean anything to you?

#3  "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.".

Actually that is the motto of the Persian couriers of the Persian empire (prior to Alexander setting up new management). The architect of the big post office building in NYC, long time ago, added the motto to the building's facade.

#2  So the guy did not dump ballots to change an election. He dumped 1800 pieces of mail. This is popping up across the US. Why? Lazy workers? Overworked? What's really going on.

The USPS is going to have to change their motto to read "Except for ballots intended for Donald Trump."
