I guess right wing media is going batshit about 9 discarded ballots found in a secured dumpster a Pennsylvanian polling station. Turns out the story isn't what it seems....which is par for the course in trumpland
to start with, the ballots were '
discarded' because they were considered naked ballots; ballots without secrecy envelopes. Trump and the R's won a lawsuit at the state supreme court when they argued that ballots without secrecy envelopes should be discarded. So, those ballots wouldn't have counted anyway
then, the DOJ, in violation of the law and their own legal regulations published preliminary results of the '
investigation'. Not only that, they said who the votes were for: 7 for trump and two for "
others"....LOL. The election worker discarded the ballots without knowing who the voter were for. Nobody at the election office knew who the votes were for
the ballots were handled by a temporary contract worker who was following what he thought was the procedure for naked ballots. The worker has been dismissed
this is the kind of empty pretext trump and barr are dumpster diving for to try and invalidate the election. I think it's a bonus for them if they destroy our democracy and trash the constitution at the same time
