Multiple election offices report receiving mailed ballots misdirected from other states

It was only about a dozen ballots total from voters in other states. But she said it still raised concerns about the ability of the U.S. Postal Service to deliver election mail and whether the errant ballots would ever be counted.

In Louisiana, state election officials said some 40 to 50 ballots destined for 10 other states ended up being delivered to local election offices, mostly in Orleans Parish. Deputy Secretary of State Joel Watson Jr. said the Secretary of State’s Office had “extraordinary frustration” for the Postal Service’s continued “inconsistencies” and “lack of accountability.”

Dozens of mail ballots from inside the state also were delivered to the wrong local election office, Watson said.

“There were many instances where our staff had to physically take these ballots and drive them to another parish to get them there on time to make sure those votes count,” Watson said. “We had to use time and resources in the hours and days immediately preceding the biggest election we hold to make sure these ballots were delivered to the right places.”

1. If the Postal Service is slow in delivering the ballots

the votes should still count IMO. Why penalize the voter because some postal worker might be
attempting to swing an election?

If it's mailed in a timely matter it counts, voting is the only thing we have to combat the evil rich.
Tired of all the petty reasons Rs come up with why ballots don't count.

2. Sounds like these things have increased since DeJoy took over.

3. DeJoy is implementing a new program

called Regional Transportation Optimization (RTO). I was just looking into this this morning because the mail delivery here in an area of Arizona recently slowed down noticeably. These changes were authorized earlier in the year and were supposed to take effect right after the election. But I've heard callers to various talk shows on SiriusXM claim their mail has been slow from well before the election. (That's why they called these show: they were worried about mail ballots).

The article below explains it, if anyone is interested.
