Postman made up complaint about postal voting fraud US elections

The 32-year-old man first claimed in an affidavit that the local postal director had instructed employees to pre-date postal votes sent after election day on November 3, so that they would still qualify for a count. The allegations played into the hands of current President Donald Trump, who, after his defeat against Joe Biden, continues to insist that large-scale fraud was committed in the elections, mainly targeting postal votes – predominantly used by Democratic voters. Trump has not yet provided real evidence for this.

A few days ago, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham called on the United States Department of Justice to investigate the allegations made by the Erie man. Finally, Justice Secretary William Barr gave federal prosecutors permission on Monday to open investigations into possible fraud. Normally, prosecutors cannot get started until the official final results of the election have been announced.

The Inspector General of the US Postal Service informed the committee staff today that they interrogated the postal worker on Friday, but that he dropped his charges on Tuesday and did not explain why he signed a false affidavit. the allegations themselves have already been dismissed on Facebook. “The Erie Post Office has not backdated a single ballot,” he emphasized.
