Unknown Number of Mail-in Ballots Lost by USPS in Pennsylvania County
 
United States Postal Service has lost an unknown number of mail-in ballots that were sent to voters ahead of the Nov. 3 election, the bureau of elections director for Butler County, Pennsylvania, said Wednesday, reports The Butler Eagle.

Aaron Sheasely, who serves as Butler County’s elections bureau director, made the announcement regarding the lost ballots during a meeting with county commissioners. Sheasely said USPS officers notified him that an investigation into the matter is underway. It is currently unknown which post office location lost the ballots.

“Regarding mail sorting and delivery in Butler County, the Postal Service is unaware of any significant delays or issues and is in regular contact with the Board of Election as we work to locate and deliver ballots as they are presented to us,” the USPS said in a statement obtained by KDKA.

I'm confused. Isn't this traditional in Dim states?

They just ride around with the ballot boxes in their trunks until they figure out how many votes they need.

 Potentially thousands of requested mail ballots lost in Pa. county, official says

HARRISBURG — Potentially thousands of mail ballots requested by Butler County voters appear to be lost, a county official said Wednesday, and the U.S. Postal Service has been asked to immediately investigate what happened to them.

A USPS spokesperson, meanwhile, said the agency is “unaware of any significant delays or issues.”

Nearly 40,000 registered voters in the county just north of Pittsburgh requested mail ballots. So far, only 24% of them have been returned to the county, by far the lowest rate among the state’s 67 counties. The county with the next-lowest return rate, Fayette, has received 50% of requested ballots.

Yep.
Happens routinely in Florida. They "find" ballots after the election is over and for some unexplainable miracle reason, they all get counted as real votes.

"Found votes" after the election actually turned the election in Minnesota from a defeat to a victory for Al Franken.

Democrats are experts at 'finding lost votes' after the election is over. And the votes are always in favor of the Democrat, and always just a few hundred over whatever the Republican gets. After all, why would any Democrat "find votes" that would make the Republican win?

Some of the first people in line arrived before 6. The doors to the event don’t open until 4 pm.
People tell me they are wearing multiple layers and using hand warmers to stay warm. The thermometer in our car says the temperature is around 27 degrees.
