They are not supposed to but they do because people put all sorts of stuff in blue boxes and slots for collection mail. When I did collection routes I would just pull the 775 white tub and do the initial screening back at the office. Back in the day before anti theft and Homeland Security measures I would almost daily find some wrapped dog waste that some crazy dude addressed to the Pentagon

Fake news.

Which picture are you talking about?

It seems to me that someone bent on creating this weird story, who worked in the mail room, could toss a few items in the bin before snapping the picture. Grab a few circulars, a paper sack.

Does this look like dumpster trash you've ever seen in your life? Every dumpster I've seen is gross. Gunk all over it.

Does it seem believable that dumpster workers, on hearing there were thousands of ballots in their bin, would try to hide that fact and cover up the ballots?

And that the only news source that would cover it is this hoax site?

?? These are recycle dumpsters. You can clearly see it says "flattened cardboard" on one of them. Maybe you've never been to a landfill? This is a landfill pic.

With that said, I have no idea where the picture of the ballots was taken.

That photo if from 2016! August 2016.

Top of the photo is Food and Wine Magazine Sept 2016 issue with this cover
It says Food and Wine The Best of Italy Now and has a pizza on the cover. Mailed Aug 2016.

This could be applications for ballot requests being processed at the post office in August 2016. Or primary ballots in Aug 2016 being processed in postal bins with other mail including magazines and newspapers also being processed.

That's not a dumpster. It's a processing bin. See the interior gray plastic bin. It's one of those big gray plastic mail bins on huge rollers, used by the post office.

A half way decent photographer can create any photo they wish these days.

Soon movies will be made without sets and actors.

I do not believe any photograph these days, especially if it is on the internet. For me to know it is real, there needs to be credits of who took it, who published it and who is in it.

Actually it has unofficially started months ago. There's truck loads of Biden ballots staged in parking yards somewhere right now just waiting to be transported when given the green light.

Why are you raising an article from 4 years ago, in all this time that investigative team at the Gateway Pundit couldn't come up with any details other than the same old picture.

What was the statement from the elections board in 2016.
