Brickbat: Rain, Snow, or Laziness

A U.S. postal worker in Utah has been charged with throwing about 300 mail-in ballots into a parking lot dumpster just before the state’s June primary election. According to the Department of Justice, Damon Matai Seei told investigators he felt overwhelmed and acted out of frustration and laziness rather than any political motive, saying he mainly wanted to get rid of ads to lighten his load but accidentally dumped ballots as well. He is no longer employed by the Postal Service and has pleaded not guilty to destroying and delaying mail. Officials noted that most Utah voters use mail-in ballots, and it is still unclear whether those voters were later able to cast their votes.
