Evidence

A Michigan man who claims to be employed as a postal worker with the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has alleged that he was instructed by his superiors to back-date late ballots received after Election Day, investigative journalism nonprofit Project Veritas reported on Nov. 4.

Election law in the battleground state of Michigan requires that ballots be received by the election clerk before the close of polls—8 p.m. on Election Day.

Ryan Jarvi, press secretary for Michigan Department of Attorney General Dana Nessel, told The Epoch Times that ballots received after polls close on Nov. 3 aren’t counted.

“Under Michigan law, ballots have to arrive at the clerk’s office by when the polls close on Nov. 3 regardless of when it’s stamped. What matters is when it is delivered to the clerk’s office, not the postmarked date,” Jarvi said. “If someone today stamped a letter with Nov. 2 and dropped it off at the clerk’s office, it wouldn’t be counted.”

The USPS told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement that it is aware of the video, and that it has been referred to the USPS and the Office of Inspector General.

The postal worker, whose identity was kept anonymous, told Project Veritas’s James O’Keefe that he works in the state’s Traverse City Barlow branch.

He alleged in the interview that on Nov. 4, he and his colleagues were issued a directive by his direct supervisor, Jonathan Clarke, at the Barlow branch to collect any ballots they found in mailboxes, collection boxes, and any outgoing mail, and separate them at the end of the day so that they could be hand stamped with the previous day’s date—Nov. 3, Election Day.

“So I’ve, and this is anecdotal, [a] carrier down in another office said they watched the postmaster doing it,” the USPS whistleblower said. “If it were just a typical day, it would be clerks doing it up at the distribution center.”

When asked by O’Keefe why he decided to come forward, the USPS postal worker said, “That’s sketchy. I don’t like sketchy.”

“It screams corruption,” he said. “Also, knowing the post offices leanings politically, it didn’t seem quite right.”
