The tray\u2019s mail was from year 2020 and contained what appeared to be 26 blank ballots mailed from the Baltimore City Board of Election to addresses with a Baltimore ZIP Code. Those mailpieces were delivered Saturday, Aug. 6.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe U.S. Postal Service is fully committed to the secure, timely delivery of the nation\u2019s Election Mail,\u201d Ouellette added. \u201cWe are in close communication with the Baltimore City Election Board and look forward to a successful election in November.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One man who received his ballot nearly two years later, Nick Frisone, told WMAR-2 News that he knew his ballot had gone missing back on September 29, 2020, when he received an Informed Delivery email notifying him that the ballot would be delivered that day, and then never showed up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then it just never came,\u201d he explained, \u201cso then I had to call the Board of Elections and then I had to go in-person to get a replacement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear if Frisone\u2019s other neighbors took similar action and had their voices heard in the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore City Election Director Armstead Jones said the\u00a0Maryland State Board of Elections will address the issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would\u2019ve been nice if they could\u2019ve contacted us, so the voters wouldn\u2019t have been confused,\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndividual pieces can be lost, having a tray lost is a little different story,\u201d the election director added. \u201cIt has to be sitting somewhere around somebody and somebody needs to look and see what it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mail-in voting took off during the 2020 election out of supposed concern about spreading the COVID virus. Notably, there was a large overlap between politicians pushing the mail-in voting to \u201cstop the spread\u201d and those promoting Black Lives Matter and other left-wing protests around the same time.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear why one would be okay and not the other concerning COVID spread.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/starbucks-doesnt-want-mail-in-voting-for-its-union-elections\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Starbucks Doesn\u2019t Want Mail-In Voting For Its Union\u00a0Elections<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dozens of citizens in Baltimore have just received their mail-in ballots for the 2020 election \u2014 some two years too late.
