re: ‘Tons of uncounted ballots’ found in Opa-locka mail facility

[quote]U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilson, whose district includes Opa-locka, said the USPS told her office that the ballots left behind at the facility were postmarked after Nov. 6 — Election Day — and thus were not eligible to be counted.

The Florida Division of Elections states on its website that absentee ballots must be received by the Supervisor of Elections office no later than 7 p.m. on Election Day. But a 10-day extension is offered for overseas voters, such as members of the military.

“We investigated the rumor because people were calling our office,” she said in a statement. “We learned from the post office supervisors we regularly deal with that they had ballots, but they were postmarked after the election and therefore not eligible to be counted.

After every election an extensive sweep for ballots is conducted but that’s all they had.” Read more here: LINK ]
