The United States Postal Service failed to deliver thousands of absentee ballots around the country before the cut-off times — and one of the worst failures occurred in South Florida, where 27 percent of mail-in votes may have never been received, according to new data released Wednesday.
The news comes as Postmaster Louis DeJoy is facing widespread criticism for not complying with a federal judge order to deliver more than 300,000 ballots that mysteriously disappeared just before Election Day.
Ballots not delivered by the cut off time will be rejected.
The news also comes as President Donald Trump complained of election fraud after Biden pulled ahead in Wisconsin and Michigan.
