Dem volunteer in MN caught on camera allegedly removing GOP opponent’s flyer from mailbox
October 19, 2022 | MJ Smith

As midterm elections near, the desperation of some candidates has prompted campaign workers to bend, dance on, and flat-out break the law. One Minnesota candidate is backpedaling after a “desperate” Democratic Party volunteer was seen tampering with the mail in order to sabotage their opponent.

The Hibbing Police Department in Hibbing, Minn., is investigating a woman seen on video apparently putting a Democratic political flyer into a mailbox and removing a Republican message.

In the video posted by self-described Minnesota political expert Dustin Grage, a volunteer appears to place a Ben DeNucci for Senate flyer in the homeowner’s mailbox and takes out what he described as a Pete Stauber mailer.

Removing mail from another’s mailbox is a crime punishable by up to 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

“The Hibbing Police Department received a report of a female individual taking mail from a mailbox while putting in what appears to be a flyer over this past weekend,” Hibbing PD said in a statement. “The individual is in the process of being identified. This is an open and ongoing investigation. Future information will be made as to the progress of the investigation at its conclusion.”

Works for me.

Any mailbox, or even mail slot, is actually owned by the Post Office. Nothing non-postage paid may be put in, or anything taken out.

Every election the local Dems would always get busted trying to put campaign lit into mailboxes.

If they actually want this person, she'd be easy to identify. She very likely had a cell phone with her and her route is pretty clear.

Many people don't realize that a mailbox is federal property and stick all sorts of things in them. Neighborhood party flyers and whatnot. My wife is an ex postmaster and occasionally had to inform some businesses/people that they couldn't stick their personal flyers in  somebody's mailbox.
Obviously, in this case the Dem idiots knew what they were doing.
