At the US-Canadian border, a postman was arrested for hiding packages, letters and bulletins of US citizens. In the trunk of his car, 800 items were found that did not find the addressee, Buffalo News reports.
27-year-old Brandon Wilson was detained on the night of November 5-6 in the area of the bridge, where he happened to be, turning the wrong way. Stumbling upon the US Customs and Border Protection officers, he tried to convince them that the departures in the trunk of the car belonged to him and his mother. He could not explain why there were other people's letters. During the search, three ballots were found.
The man later admitted that since September of this year he began to shift some letters into the trunk after returning from work. He noted that at the beginning of shifts he imperceptibly put some of the letters in the basket with items to be sorted, but did not manage to get rid of all the letters. The postman, who worked since 2019, was charged with the detention or destruction of postal correspondence. He could face a $ 250,000 fine and up to five years in prison.
Earlier, US judicial observers published a comparison of demographic statistics and voter ballot registrations. In the course of the study, experts have identified almost two million fraud with the votes of the electorate.
On November 4, a possible loss of more than 300,000 ballots in the United States was reported. Postal service employees admitted that they could not track and confirm their delivery.
In the United States, the counting of votes for candidates for the post of head of the White House continues. Election day was November 3, but this year, due to the pandemic, voters could also vote by mail, requesting a ballot in advance. The current president, Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden, who served as vice president under Barack Obama, are fighting for the post of head of state. In many states, the difference between applicants is a fraction of a percent. The outcome of voting in these regions of the country determines which of the candidates will be declared the winner.
