BAKER COUNTY, Ga. - A mail truck potentially carrying absentee ballots in south Georgia caught fire on Monday.

Photos shared by the Baker County Sheriff’s Office shows the Jeep fully engulfed in flames along a rural roadway about ten miles southwest of Albany.

The mail carrier was not injured.

Deputies say the Newton Post Office has a list of packages and mail that was being delivered along the route.

It sounds like the county already knows what absentee ballots will need to be reissued. Cue the MAGAt idiots to proclaim Ds are cheating.

5. No discussion of whether it was arson

I don't know how trucks spontaneously catch on fire, unless the mail carrier threw a cigarette butt in the back seat.

11. Cars, trucks, airplanes, power boats, ships etc

do "spontaneously" catch on fire from time to time. Usual causes are fuel leak and/or electrical short circuit.

9. How many times in the past . . .

. . . has a truck full of mail burned completely?

How do you spell arson again?

12. You're right. Mail trucks never catch fire. Except for all of the many times that they do.

Potentially? Potentially not?

What horseshit.

Voted by mail that ONE day? 100? 200? Your guess…?

Some DU folks are more levelheaded than others.
