    More than 100 undelivered absentee ballots found in Kentucky dumpster

    A contractor in Jefferson County, Ky., found 112 absentee ballots in a dumpster, leading to an investigation by federal authorities.

    The ballots never made it to their intended recipients and had not been opened or filled out. Special agents from the U.S. Postal Service's Office of the Inspector General said they also found two political fliers as they investigated the matter.

    "When the investigation is concluded, the case will be presented for federal prosecution to the U.S. Attorney's Office," Special Agent Scott Balfour said in a statement, according to the Associated Press.

    Balfour said that the ballots and fliers were turned over to the Postal Service so they could be delivered. He noted that incidents such as this have been "exceedingly rare."

    According to Nore Ghibaudy, spokesman for the Jefferson County clerk's office, voters who have not received absentee ballots by Oct. 28 can vote in person at any polling site if they sign an affidavit stating that they never received their ballot.

    The news comes days after two postal workers in Pennsylvania were charged with federal offenses as federal prosecutors said heaps of undelivered mail were discovered in the trash. While no ballots were found among the mail, two mail-in ballot requests were recovered.

    I remember an admitted case of this in the 60's. The school kid doing an after school round skipped part of it (intending to make it up the next day) because it was hot and he wanted to go to the pool. Got sprung as a lady complained because her pension cheque hadn't arrived.
