Pennsylvania officials claim probe into discarded military ballots proves system 'works' New York South East Post
The inquiry is ongoing. David Levine, elections integrity fellow at the watchdog group Alliance for Security Democracy, said the DOJ's decision to make public statements-one of which contained false information-about an incomplete investigation so close to the election "is risky at best and unsafe at worst". "They were Trump ballots - eight ballots in an office yesterday in - but in a certain state and they were - they had Trump written on it, and they were thrown in a garbage can". "We have to be very careful with the ballots", the president informed press reporters later on, according to a news swimming pool report. Also on Monday, in Outagamie County, Wisconsin, three trays with mail, including mail-in ballots, were found in a ditch. The president has been criticizing the integrity of this year's election for months. "I don't want to end up in the Supreme Court and I don't want to go back to Congress either, even though we have an advantage when we go back to Congress", Trump said at a rally in Middletown, Pennsylvania. Did the Federal Bureau of Investigation release a statement saying that "multiple" military mail-in ballots were found thrown away in a ditch in Pennsylvania? A statement from the USA attorney in charge of the investigation released Thursday announces that physical evidence was uncovered that some ballots were discarded. A Justice Department official was cited by the publication as claiming that Attorney General William Barr personally briefed the president about the DOJ's investigation prior to it being made public on 24 September. 'Of the nine ballots that were discarded and then recovered, seven were cast for presidential candidate Donald Trump. Speaking at the White House on Thursday, Trump said there had been ballots with his name on them found in a waste-paper basket. "Mail ballots are very risky for this country because of cheaters". She had concerns about a small number of mail-in ballots at the Luzerne County Board of Elections. Military ballots and other absentee ballots are supposed to be stored securely, unopened, until official counting begins on Election Day. Election law experts were stunned at the nature of the Justice Department statement. Justin Levitt, a law professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, said the timing of the announcement alone raises many questions. "It is the vital duty of government to ensure that every properly cast vote is counted", the statement continued. It certainly doesn't announce whom ballots were cast for, since that should be immaterial in a voting rts investigation. It corrected that number down to seven in a subsequent post, later noting that two ballots had been resealed in their envelopes. But it's not clear that's what happened, he added. Matt Wolking, who deals with fast action interactions for the Trump project, highlighted the probe and concluded, "Democrats are trying to steal the election". "This is evident in President Trump's highly partisan words and tweets, the actual impact of the changes on primary elections that resulted in uncounted ballots, and recent attempts and lawsuits by the Republican National Committee and President Trump's campaign to stop the States' efforts to bypass the Postal Service by utilizing ballot drop boxes, as well as the timing of the changes", Bastian wrote.
