"Overwhelmed" US postal worker in Utah threw away 300 mail ballots and other mail during the recent primary.
Due to demanding work loads, 12-14 hour days up to 6-7 days a week, the postal service has a very high turnover rate. Some positions see a 50% or more turnover in the first year.

@Barbramon1@mas.to "i was just exhausted, i swear! no one told me to say that!" well, whether it's true or not, seems like this could end up being one of the excuses to disenfranchise people who vote by mail

@Barbramon1@mas.to The article does not state how this incident was discovered. Did the postal worker confess? Did the trash collectors notice there were ballots in the trash? What happened?
