Looks like either surepost or smart post labels. I’m betting it was a fedex contract driver

It is FedEx smart post. You can see the ddu labels right on the bags. I’m betting the news crew already has that Info but doesn’t update its story to let the public know it’s a FedEx contract driver and its FedEx parcels

It is not first class mail if any from the postal service
Once again all political. Someone may have gone through the trash and made it look like mail. People who have been there for. Twenty or more years know that mail is not thrown away
Why all the sudden are Democrats so concerned. maybe because it’s a election year.there worried that they are not going to be able to cheat.

@Dee, he is telling the truth. Reports said that the USPS leadership discussed whether they should order the employees to not deliver ballots to areas where most people, (minorities and the poor), vote for Democrats. The administration is also targeting those areas to sue to stop mail-in ballots. In some cases, they are winning. Think about that. Your choice from those states would be to go vote in person, or not at all. And that makes it difficult or impossible for the disabled and the poor. And that would include low-income areas, where there are minority voters.

The problem is Democrats want ballots sent out by mail to everyone whether they requested it or not knowing full well the postal carrier who has a grudge against Trump fir not giving them the full $25 billion can just trash the ballots intended for houses with Trump signs in their yard.

That’s not how that works at all. Ballots are not sent out unless you are registered to vote and request a ballot. Democrats also don’t WANT ballots sent out to everyone.

I just requested my ballot. You have to go online, make sure that you’re registered, fill out your information, download and print the request form they send you, sign it, mail it in, and wait for your actual ballot. They aren’t sent to everyone – you have to actually request them, and you only get it if you’re registered.

Nope. Not true. Some states have the ask for ballots, some don’t. Oregon and some other states are all mail-in, and it works fine. THAT’S why Trump wants it stopped anywhere he can, and he puts lives in danger to do that. People shouldn’t wait in line during a pandemic, and Trump knows that. And, it makes it very difficult to vote, when Republicans have been shutting down polling places, giving people hours long wait times. Democrats don’t have any say about trashing Trump’s mail. Geez.

And sadly states like MS where the governor puts Trumps every wish over everything else has outlawed voting by mail. He opened school 8/4. Said play football 9/4. Four weeks after schools were opened we had 1000s in quarantine, 100s sick and healthy students and teachers dead, but our governor handled it. He asked the schools to not make public their case numbers and slowed testing so our numbers have greatly improved. The extremes the President has gone to sabotaging the mail service and instilling fear in the voters is criminal.

Trump lies every day. And he also put Louis Dejoy in charge. One of his top donors, who has no experience with USPS, and who immediately started tearing out mail boxes on the streets, and tearing out massive, expensive mail sorters to slow down the mail. He immediately changed election mail to Bulk Mail, not the normal First Class mail. That means it slows down the process, and they can toss the ballots that set too long. AND the USPS leadership discussed if they should order the employees to NOT send election material to the blue states. Do some research.… Read more »

Not true. The USPS under Louis DeJoy had downgraded election mail to Bulk Mail, instead of First Class, as it usually is. And that allowed them to let the mail set longer, and even be thrown away, like it is junk mail. After DeJoy was questioned, the USPS said they would change the election mail to First Class again, but there’s no way to check that out. AND, they refused to let Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz in to tour the USPS sorting facility. She was stopped by the USPS security officers. Why would that be?

It wouldn’t be given to police to investigate. If police were called, they would direct people to call postal inspectors or if police ascertain it involves mail, they would turn it over to postal inspectors. Whoever did this, if it was undelivered mail, would be charged in federal court. If it was delivered mail that was being dumped for whatever reason, no charges would be filed.

Absolutely. Stolen truck, stolen mail, dumped one piece at a time as they determined it was not of value to them. There’s no evidence that this was political.
