Photos Show Scores of Uncounted Ballots in Opa-locka Mail Center

[The Purge]

Come on folks, the FEDRAL GOVERNMENT and our new AG needs to get people down there and PROTECT THE MANY CRIME SCENES!!...Oh....

Miami-Dade County announced today that it has finished counting votes for the 2018 election.

But photos obtained by New Times show scores of mail-in ballots sitting inside an Opa-locka mail distribution center — the same center that was evacuated last month after alleged mail bomber Cesar Sayoc's pipe bombs passed through the facility.



Several local activists demonstrated outside both the mail facility and at the Miami-Dade County Elections Department to try to bring attention to the ballots. Two sources who spoke with New Times allege hundreds of ballots might still be inside.



Suzy Trutie, a spokesperson for the Elections Department, told New Times her office was aware of the ballots but confirmed nothing else about them. She said that, per state law, any ballots not delivered to the Miami-Dade Elections Department by 7 p.m. on Election Day could not be counted toward the 2018 total.



"We do our best to educate voters that, if you’re voting vote-by-mail, then your ballot had to be at the Elections Department by Tuesday, November 6," she said. "Not everybody mailed back in time."

Asked whether the ballots had been sitting inside the Opa-locka center undelivered on Election Day — or when the place was evacuated — Trutie referred questions to the United States Postal Service. (After this story was initially published, Trutie added that the Elections Department ran daily post-office pick-ups this election season, and picked up ballots three different times on Election Day.)



Ty Russell, a reporter with CBS Miami, tweeted minutes ago that he'd spoken with USPS and that it was not aware of any ballots being mishandled.

Interesting development

Do you believe that voters who mailed their ballots in plenty of time, but had their ballot impounded due to a terrorist attack should have their vote tossed out?

Shouldn’t both parties support counting those votes?

“At this time, we have no information to suggest any ballots were not properly handled and provided to local election officials, per our established process,” said Debra J. Fetterly, a USPS spokesperson with the South Florida District. “The Postal Service recommends that ballots be mailed as early as possible, in order to receive a postmark prior to or on Election Day.”

When we can't establish if they're legitimate votes or not....it's kind of hard to count them.
It's like investigating a crime scene.
The evidence is collected and then processed.
If there is no clear chain of custody the evidence is thrown out in court.
The same thing goes for elections.
We're dealing with dishonest election officials trying to steal seats in Congress.
The votes cannot be trusted.

This is one way Illegals in CA are registered, ballots go out, who fills them? Mails them? Signs them on outside of envelope? Lol! Millions fraudulent. No one checks 5 million weathered signatures. Envelopes are torn open, ballots go one way, envelope goes another. Now you have a filled out ballot with a bar code pointing to a name? They can't check all of that?

The "provisional" is another can of worms the leftist kooks have installed.

The deadline to cure a signature problem with your ballot was Monday at 5pm.
The deadline for the elections office to receive your ballot was Tuesday at 7pm. Unless you are overseas then you have an additional 10 days, but the ballot still has to be dated and postmarked by 11/6.
