Federal Judge in MD set to rule on banning the entire US Postal Service from handling ballots this election.
If you aren’t familiar with the background of this case, prepare to have your mind blown.
So here's the background. In 2020, A ballot company in MI was given contracts to print millions of ballots for counties all across the country. This ballot company illegally printed excess ballots beyond what they were contracted to produce for each county. The company then sent those excess ballots to a building in Flushing, New York.
The building in Flushing was staffed by about 100 people who were associated with the radical left SEIU union. The SEIU union members were then filling out those ballots, and then sending the completed ballots to a USPS facility in Bethpage, NY, where the ballots were reintegrated with the normal mail system.
We were alerted to this happening because of a whistleblower report made by trucker Jesse Morgan, who became suspicious after delivering loads of completed ballots from the Bethpage facility to Lancaster, Pa. It turned out that the criminals in Bethpage put the ballots on the wrong truck - Morgan’s truck - who then delivered them to Lancaster. When Morgan got to Lancaster, he was held up for hours because his trucking company didn’t match the company the criminals in Lancaster were expecting. This divine mix up is what led Morgan to discover what was going on.
Based on Morgan’s affidavit, a watchdog group called The American Project filed suit to uncover who was paying for the shipments to and from Bethpage. During the investigation, it was discovered that the Bethpage facility was not setup to handle first class mail, so there should have been no ballots going through that facility at all. Morgan states he transported 20 massive bins containing at least 50,000 ballots each to Lancaster, so his one truck alone was transporting more than a million ‘fake’ ballots.
Remember, these ballots are official ballots printed by a licensed ballot printing agency, so no amount of counterfeiting detection measures would have discovered them. There were at least 8 other trucks from the other criminally operated company that were making deliveries around the country just like this. That puts grand total around 12 to 13 million fake ballots that were shipped across the country that we know of. Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne believes there was another similar operation going on in the south with a company named Runbeck.
After Morgan came forward with his story, he said he was immediately picked up by the feds and held in dungeon for 9 hours where he was interrogated and threatened. He says he reluctantly signed a retraction letter, after the feds had threatened to kill him and his family.
The American Project obtained affidavits from workers at the Bethpage facility, detailing the entire chain of command and what happened during the election, which validate Morgan’s story. The one critical piece of information they were missing was who paid for all of these shipments to occur.
For the last four years, the American Project has fought various federal agencies with FOIA litigation to uncover who paid for those shipments. During this litigation, some very bizarre things were uncovered.
To start off with, the USPS facility in Bethpage was not setup to handle first class mail, so they did not have the required optical scanning machines needed to take pictures of the ballots before they entered the mail system. That means if the AP is right about what occurred, there would have been tens of millions of ballot images missing from the Postal Service system. I say “would have been” because, as you’ll see, that evidence was destroyed.
Next, it was discovered that the USPS changed their document retention policy just for the months surrounding the election so that instead of retaining documents for six years, they would only retain them for 90 days. Then, immediately following the election, they changed the retention policy back to six years. They did this without any notice and comment period as is required by federal law. They managed to get around this law by getting Federal Judge Emmet G. Sullivan to sign off on their circumvention of the rules. He is the same judge that tried to illegally run his own prosecution of Gen. Mike Flynn after the DoJ tried to drop the case.
Despite the destruction of evidence, the AP kept pressing their FOIA lawsuit forward and ended up in front of a non-corrupt liberal judge. The AP was able to prove that the USPS did in fact still have some records of who paid for those shipments, so the judge ordered the USPS to turn over the documentation.
The USPS eventually responded by turning over payment invoices for the days in question, but used White-Out to hide the names of the company who paid for the ballot shipments. They are still refusing to disclose who paid for the shipments even though they are in direct violation of a federal judge’s order to do so. The legal team for the USPS informed the judge that they told the USPS to comply, but they are refusing to follow their own legal team’s directions.
Finally an affidavit was filed in September by a USPS supervisor saying they don’t have the information the judge is ordering them to turn over.
Following the affidavit, The AP filed suit (Case 8:24-cv-02442-ADC) in Maryland explaining to a federal judge that clearly the USPS is lying and that they were engaged in fraud and are trying to cover it up. They are asking for the judge to bar the USPS from any involvement in the election. The judge is set to rule on this within the next week.
Given the proximity to the election, it’s unlikely that the judge will bar the entire USPS from being involved in the handling of mail-in ballots, but there is a decent chance that the judge will allow third party supervision of the system to make sure this doesn’t happen again.

Update 10/27/24:
Judge pussed out and dismissed the case on “standing” saying the plaintiffs didn’t have a right to sue. However, they are appealing the decision. Honestly, I would be shocked if the courts actually let this case go forward to a decision on the merits. The courts are horrendously corrupt in this country, and this is just the latest example.
Paper ballots on Election Day. It’s time to do it the right way.
Remarkable that it took a mere four years for this case to be presented.
It is my fear that any order that issues will be stayed because of the proximity of the election. Last minute changes are only all right if they favor the party or person that needs a boost. Or there will be an immediate appeal and a stay will issue pending the appeal. In any case, this will churn on for years, perhaps in hope that The Great Ballot Heist will be long forgotten by the time the case concludes.
Truly worthy of The Town were it not so critically important.
Saw a documentary years ago about a contest run by McDonald's. The game materials, the plans, the results, and the like were locked down tighter than tight.
Not so with the means to determine the future of our nation.
This leads me to believe that laxity in election processes has been permitted because it might come in handy. A kind of "just in case" bit of wiggle room.
Voting integrity will take decades to restore.
Note that neither party rushed out after 2020 to set matters straight or to secure the election processes. This causes me to abandon what little respect for both parties I once held.
If voting is not of consequence, or is rendered inconsequential by design, or by criminal means, little remains of government by the consent of the governed.
