In an election-focused group on Elon Musk’s X platform, a man made what he described as “bombshell” allegations about the U.S. Postal Service.
“The United States Postal Service recently changed the delivery method of absentee mail-in ballots!” Peter Bernegger wrote in an Oct. 27 post. “They are hiding the evidence of absentee mail-in ballot fraud – by not allowing the evidence to be created in the first place.”
In a nearly 400-word post, Bernegger accused the Postal Service of improperly directed post offices “to NOT send absentee mail-in ballots to central sort. But instead take them to the election clerks.” He said that meant “no electronic ballot images are being created,” which he argued amounted to intentionally hiding fraud.
U.S. Postal Service spokesperson Martha Johnson told PolitiFact that the Postal Service has not “recently changed the delivery method of absentee ballots” as the posts claim. The Postal Service has used the same procedures for previous general elections, she said.
