A Columbus postal worker was caught on surveillance video dumping election related mail in the garbage late Thursday October 15, 2026. Still images from that video show a USPS van backing up to a dumpster and bulk mail inside the dumpster with other garbage off Macon Road.
According to their website, the Voter Participation Center has helped 6.6 million voters register and get to the polls. The deadline to register to vote in the midterm election has passed. The surveillance video documents a person in the USPS van depositing the bulk mail in the dumpster. The USPS and Columbus Police Department are investigating.
Dumping mail as depicted in the video is a federal offense punishable by up to five years in prison and a maximum $250,000 fine. The postal worker responsible could also face state and local charges in connection to the incident.
