Maine Woman Discovers Hundreds of Election Ballots in Amazon Package as State Considers Voter ID

 

A Newburgh resident expecting an Amazon delivery of rice, paper plates and a toy lightsaber instead opened a box to find 250 state election ballots.


The discovery raised alarms about election security, leading the Maine Republican Party Chairman to call for a federal criminal investigation as the state is mere weeks from deciding on whether it will join 36 other states in requiring some form of Vote ID.


The package arrived Tuesday looking beat up and re-taped, as if tampered with.  Inside, along with household items, were bundles of ballots packaged in tamper-evident packs of 50 — the same format used for official shipments to local clerks.  Election officials who reviewed photographs confirmed the documents appear to be authentic 2025 ballots.

 

The resident, stunned by the find, immediately turned the ballots over to the town office.


"I am greatly concerned for our state and its voting requirements," she said.  "When I opened it, there were 250 official State of Maine referendum ballots inside my box.  Thank goodness I am an honest citizen and immediately reached out to my town clerk and took the ballots to the town for safekeeping."


The misdelivery comes just 35 days before Maine's Nov. 4 election, which features a high-stakes referendum on requiring voter identification.  [...]

That’s 250 moose that won’t be voting this time around.

 

Ungulatophobia is rampant in Maine. ☠️

Don't interrupt me when I'm talking to myself

 A man sat down to write his butcher for his order of Christmas geese.

 

"Dear Butcher:  Please send me my Christmas gooses," he wrote.

He scratched that out and wrote, "Please send me my Christmas geeses."

He then started all over and wrote the following:

     "Dear Butcher:  Please send me my Christmas goose.

     "P.S.  And while you're at it, add another one."
