HARRISBURG, PA – On Monday, September 21, 2020, at the request of Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis, the Office of the United States Attorney along with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Scranton Resident Office, began an inquiry into reports of potential issues with a small number of mail-in ballots at the Luzerne County Board of Elections.
Since Monday, FBI personnel working together with the Pennsylvania State Police have conducted numerous interviews and recovered and reviewed certain physical evidence. Election officials in Luzerne County have been cooperative. At this point we can confirm that a small number of military ballots were discarded. Investigators have recovered nine ballots at this time. Some of those ballots can be attributed to specific voters and some cannot. Of the nine ballots that were discarded and then recovered, 7 were cast for presidential candidate Donald Trump. Two of the discarded ballots had been resealed inside their appropriate envelopes by Luzerne elections staff prior to recovery by the FBI and the contents of those 2 ballots are unknown.
Our inquiry remains ongoing and we expect later today to share our up to date findings with officials in Luzerne County. It is the vital duty of the government to ensure that every properly cast vote is counted.

I suspect this was deliberately done by Republican voters to prove that mail in ballots are not safe. This is ridiculous and so transparent. Unbelievable!
I received a letter stating that I already applied for mail in but I only applied once
The democraps have to do this…it’s the only way they could win with sleepy Joe is to cheat… There’s no truth anywhere be today in this country..
Do you know for fact that Democrats did this? Let’s not jump to conclusions, you’re doing just as Trump wants by starting lies, we all need to get on our knees & pray, asking the Lord to right the wrongs. I pray daily the Lord knows all about it, & to please step in & render fairness, honesty, civility, & to turn our enemies back putting them to shame. Our country has known havoc since Trump took office.
Mam, did you forget about the hanging chads? You seem to remember what you chose to remember. That was NOT during Trump’s term.
