Related: About this forumViolating DOJ Rules, Barr Announces Investigation into "Discarded Trump Ballots", Assisting Trump
Glenn Kirschner
There are three bedrock principles/prohibitions governing DOJ practices: 1. never comment on (don't confirm, don't deny) a pending investigation; 2. never make any announcement within 60 days of an election that could impact public opinion regarding any candidate or the election generally; and 3. never disclose how a citizen voted. Bill Barr's Department of Justice violated all three principles by issuing a press release that seven mailed ballots cast by military members for Donald Trump were allegedly discarded in a county in Pennsylvania.
This announcement seems designed to assist Donald Trump in the upcoming election and makes Barr seem more like Donald Trump's campaign chairman and less like a legitimate Attorney General.

Lock him up.

OP
What is left out from a lot of reports on this is that this was reported by the local voting

precinct. Those misplaced votes were placed in a lock box, not a garage can as some have reported, and was the result of a temporary worker, who is no longer working there
The fact is they were over seeing the process, found the error, and reported it immediately

voter fraud reminds me of something.. It's when FBI Director James Comey sent a letter to Congress on Oct. 28, 2016 during election time about Hillary's e-mails. Has a familiar ring to it. Like a ring of corruption...
