Need help identifying this guy that just dropped off an insane amount of ballots who says he’s with the post office but idk if I buy that. He wouldn’t talk to us and was acting very suspect. @EarlyVoteAction @ScottPresler @SazonLes @VoteHarrisOut @Postcardstopa pic.twitter.com/VG1yJdl32e

The "guy" was indeed just a postal carrier delivering a single plastic bin of mail-in ballots. The Washington Post reports that this video is part of a widespread and well-organized effort to promote a far larger and better coordinated version of 2020's hastily created "Stop the Steal" movement:
X has also rolled out new features, such as its “Election Integrity Community,” the feed on which Matlack’s video of the mail worker gained viral attention. The feed, which has more than 50,000 members, promotes tweets showing “potential incidents of voter fraud or irregularities,” regardless of their accuracy.
The feed is run by America PAC, Musk’s $118 million pro-Trump super PAC, which shared a since-deleted digital ad calling Harris “a big ole C-word” — they said it meant “communist” — and has boosted claims that Trump’s opponents have tried to “take him out for good.”
....About 12 hours after the Northampton video started exploding on X, Trump posted on Truth Social, “Pennsylvania is cheating, and getting caught, at large scale levels rarely seen before. … Law Enforcement must act, NOW!” The top comment on it, from a user named “Patriotic Marine,” showed the postal worker’s face and license plate and urged viewers to find him and “prosecute him for Treason.” It was liked more than 1,000 times.
This stuff has likely been under your radar so far, circulating only among MAGA cultists, but that's likely to change tomorrow. Prepare yourself for a tsunami of idiotic claims like this if Kamala Harris wins.
Kinda remarkable that this post doesn't reference Hugh Hewitt and his infamous on-air moment...

Yes, it looks bad -- when you only present one side of the story...
Not sure how Hewitt being a big baby and throwing a tantrum has anything to do with a bunch of weirdos trying to dox and "prosecute" a postal worker.
It doesn't. This is just more of the targeting for the conspiracy mob.
If Harris wins big, myabe it will be only idiotic claims. But if it is a small margin Harris win, it will not be just idiotic claims. It will also be threats and violence.
I don't think Kamala makes enough of the fact that she is the V.P. now and not Mike Pence. Any monkey business can be met with her failing to certify.
Who has the Trump card now losers?
They don't think this way. Their strategy is to prevent certification in states she wins.
In 2020 they were not ready to go after the election, so until J6 used almost only legal challanges which failed. This time they are ready, and there will be threats and violence.
Ha ha ha! According to Trump, the VP can name any winner he/she wants. This is what he tried to get Pence to do 4 years ago. By that argument, Harris can simply declare herself the next president when she presides over Congress. That'd go right up Trump's ass! Ha ha ha!
I'm braced for threats and violence and general noxious behavior no matter what happens. They are sore winners, too.
Oh noes!!! Postal workers handling mail! That happens to contain BALLOTS! When did this become legal?
The antics of the Maga-marks have literally, no kidding, turned a number of life long Republicans that I know into closet Democrats. I just hope it will be enough
If I were Narciso, I’d be suing Musk for billions.
I'm mostly expecting a bunch of MAGA jerks to get arrested intimidating voters at the polls tomorrow.
Since there is so little election fraud at the polls as to make it non-existent.
Pass the popcorn, because local election clerks actually do a good job. They are the unsung heroes of this election.
"They are the unsung heroes of this election."
.. and the ones that will be targeted by harassment and threats.
The name of this game is to stop the win. There is no stealing, so they will resort to blowing up polling places if need be.
Local election clerks are not as unsung as they used to be. They've received a fair amount of news coverage over the past four years; before that they were effectively invisible.
Stop the Steal folks are infantile idiots who will end up exposing themselves as infantile idiots working for an infantile idiot.
Much like the crazed RW dipshits that got elected to school boards to prevent "grooming", these election deniers imagine they are going to find massive evidence of cheating only to be bitterly disappointed. Their fever dreams never pan out.
I am hopeful that Harris wins by a big enough margin that those NON fanatical Trump supporters will say "It's just not worth a recount". Already there are 7 GOP Congressional members who WILL Vote to certify
But if Harris wins "bigly" I am hopeful that the threat of violence will become muted. The EC is the real problem but over the last two days I have been reading more and more about Harris leading in 4 of the 5 swing states, along with Trumps declining "draw" at rallies. The fact that Ivanka and Melania chose NOT to join the family on the last day of the campaign was a sign of trouble for THAT family. I am also reading about who will be the heir apparent. It's not Nikki Haley, and JD Vance isn't a cohesive force within the party.
AND, if Lara Trump allows daddy to empty the GOP coffers for legal fees then the GOP will be in a world of hurt. As much as I dislike republicans of late, the loss of THAT party would give the democrats a sense of over confidence -and both parties have seen those chances get squandered.
I hope all goes as well as it can tomorrow.
