Justice Department Charges Utah Postal Worker for Dumping Mail Ballots in Trash During State Primary
The employee allegedly discarded about 300 mail-in ballots and other mail, and officials did not release a motive.
- On Tuesday, the Justice Department announced an indictment against former Utah Postal Service worker Damon Matai Seei, who allegedly discarded 300 mail-in ballots intended for residents before the state's June 23 primary election.
- Seei pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges of destruction and delay of mail, claiming he acted out of "laziness" and "frustration" to "lighten his workload" rather than any political motive, according to a government memo.
- Utah County Clerk Aaron Davidson reported residents in House District 50 were calling to say, "We didn't get ballots," revealing the scope of disruption caused by the failed mail deliveries.
- Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter stated at a Washington press conference that the carrier knew the mail contained ballots, emphasizing election integrity should be considered a nonpartisan issue.
- The Justice Department has charged 70 voter-fraud related cases during the president's second term, while also investigating Gov. Deidre Henderson for failing to "comply" with requests for state voter records.
