A US Postal Service employee in Kentucky is not only out of a job in the middle of a pandemic, he may soon have the Feds breathing down his neck. According to Business Insider, the man was terminated after authorities alleged he tried to discard over 100 absentee ballots. The ballots were intended for the Jeffersontown area of Jefferson County, and were found in a dumpster. None of the ballots were found marked or opened. They were returned to the Postal Service to be hand-delivered to residents on Thursday. The case has been accepted for federal prosecution by the US Attorney's Office. They will determine what charges are appropriate after a review of all the facts in the case. Special Agent Scott Balfour Statement, Federal Bureau of Investigation
Nicholas Beauchene began working for the US Postal Service in July, 2020. No longer. The DOJ has charged him for dumping 1,875 pieces of mail, including ballots, in two dumpsters in North Arlington and West Orange, New Jersey. CNN reports postal investigators believe the 26-year-old dumped the mail on two different days, from two different mail routes. The North Arlington dumpster contained 98 general election ballots; the West Orange dumpster had one general election ballot. All was eventually delivered. All the mail was eventually delivered. Beauchene was arrested and charged with one count of delay of mail and one of obstruction of mail.
Fulton County absentee ballots are processed at Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta for twin US Senate runoff races that will determine control of the chamber for the first years of Joe Biden's presidency.

Georgia's Republican top election official Brad Raffensperger says he believes President Trump's attacks on mail voting suppressed his own base. In fact, Raffensperger says Trump's baseless claims that mail voting is untrustworthy and fraudulent cost him the state. According to Business Insider, 24,000 Republicans who voted by mail in the state's June 9 primary elections did not vote at all in the general election. While Trump outperformed the polls in many states, he lost the key battleground states of Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, in addition to Georgia. What's more, an even higher number of Georgia Democrats who voted in the primaries stayed home for the general. Trump was the first Republican presidential nominee to lose Georgia since George H.W. Bush in 1992.
