Dozens of mail-in ballots sitting in Miami distribution center: report

Source: miami New Times

Dozens of boxes filled with mail-in ballots are sitting inside a Miami-area mail distribution center, according to photos obtained by the Miami New Times.

The news outlet noted that the distribution center where the ballots are located is the same one that was evacuated in October after a mail bomb reached the facility.

The news about the ballots comes the same day Miami-Dade County announced it finished counting votes for the midterm elections, which includes hotly contested Senate and gubernatorial races.

Two unnamed sources told the New Times that hundreds or thousands of ballots may still be in the distribution center.

Florida is AG supposed to investigate.


Outgoing AG Pam Bondi is Republican and the newly elected AG Ashley Moody is Republican too.[1]

You might recognize the name Pam Bondi. The Attorney General faced scrutiny a while ago over allegations of partaking in a pay-for-play scandal with Trump. She refused to investigate Trump University's illegal practices shortly after Trump donated a hefty sum of money. He also hosted a fundraiser for Pam Bondi at Mar-A-Lago.[2]

postal employees know what their mail facility is like and what bins lay around 'undelivered'.
