Serial Mail Bomb Threat And Uncounted Ballots in Miami

[Cetacea]

This is one of the original stories that broke on the two hundred or so abandoned ballots from the 2018 election. It has been decided that these votes will not be counted. Current articles do not mention the theories on how this happened. I think a good attorney could get these counted if domestic terrorism was indeed the cause.

"We are at the Miami Elections Department chasing vote by mail and overseas ballots stuck at a post office processing center in Opa Locka. Election officials told us they were invalidated because they were not at their office by 7pm election day.

This article claims that thousands of ballots were abandoned.

1. Don't know enough myself to make any judgement here.

But this is plausible (that the mail bomber somehow screwed with timely delivery).

2. The thing that infuriates me is election officials were picking up ballots multiple times a day.

In my mind, that makes the election officials responsible. The votes were there. They should be counted.

3. Were postal workers operating in "business as usual" mode during the days of the mail bombs?

Very confusing but I hope it's being looked into by attorneys.
