You read that right. Authorities have reported the discovery of the stolen ballots on a rural farm in Arizona. A worker reported finding the ballots later in the day and he alerted his employer right away who turned them over to the police once the worker returned to the office.
The Glendale Police Department shared on Facebook the man who made the discovery, Brayan Ruiz, located a total of 18 ballots in a field “underneath some concrete and rocks.”
GPD Statement:
“On 10/30/2020, Brayan Ruiz was at work near 99th Ave and Glendale (Rovey Farms) when he located 18 early election ballots in the field underneath some concrete and rocks. He did the right thing by returning the ballots trying to ensure everyone who wanted to vote early still could vote.
The following day, on Halloween, many residents received unusual knocks at their door. Too early in the day for “trick or treaters,” hesitant residents opened their doors to Attorney General’s Special Agents Bill Knuth and Roger Geisler, and Glendale Police Officer Bill Downey.
Law enforcement hand delivered each of these ballots to their rightful owners. Each resident said they were aware their early election ballots had not arrived. Some went in person to vote early, and others had not voted yet. We were able to distribute them in time, to provide voters the opportunity to at least fill them out at home and then drop them off to a polling location.
If you have any information about these thefts we encourage you to submit tips regarding this specific incident to the Attorney General’s Election Integrity Unit online at https://www.azag.gov/complaints/election or by emailing [email protected].”
Reports did not specify if the ballots supported President Trump or former vice president Joe Biden, but the fact of the matter is- they were stolen. Proving yet again that there is a major security risk using this mail-in ballot system.
