USPS Worker Recants Claim of Mail-in Ballot Tampering Cited by Top Republicans

HeadlineNov 11, 2020

In Pennsylvania, a U.S. postal worker has recanted his claims that a postmaster in Erie ordered employees to back-date ballots mailed after Election Day. The claims were widely cited by senior Republicans — including Senator Lindsey Graham — as evidence of widespread voter fraud.

Today is Veteran’s Day, and in Nevada, Trump’s reelection campaign has challenged ballots cast by more than 3,000 people it claims do not live in the state. Among those accused of “criminal voter fraud” are members of the military stationed around the U.S. or who voted by mail through overseas military post offices. The New York Times called election officials in dozens of states — representing both political parties — who reported no evidence of voter fraud or other irregularities.
