Subsequent to our fieldwork in late March 2021, Postal Service staff at the
Kalamazoo (MI) Processing and Distribution Center unexpectedly found a
sack of international inbound ballots for the November 2020 general election
on a pallet with empty sacks. The sack had an “election mail” tag and was
unopened (the original banding seal was intact). Upon review, the sack
contained 25 ballots destined for various election offices throughout the U.S.
across 12 states. Though not material to the total number of international ballots
processed, the Postal Service was unable to determine what caused the improper processing of these ballots. The last scan for these ballots showed arrival at the Dulles (VA) International Airport on October 15, 2020. The operational risks and vulnerabilities that led to this mishandling should be addressed as part of the after-action evaluation.
25 ballots don't get counted and they don't know why!?
