Just like those accidentally 'lost' IRS Emails and FEC docs. So much awful corruption. Hopefully, there will be justice on this one. Arrests and prosecutions must happen. This was a corrupt farce. Both Republicans & Democrats need to be held accountable.
Phil Harding, a 30-year Air Force veteran and Chris McDaniel supporter who helped run the June 24 primary runoff election in Harrison County, Mississippi, said he witnessed key documents being discarded and that a large volume of absentee ballot envelopes and applications are missing, making them unavailable for review by McDaniel' campaign.

He also said that, across Harrison County, there are 40 of 60 total precincts from which absentee ballot envelopes and applications remain missing.
On the afternoon of July 1, Harding said that volunteers, including himself, discovered absentee ballot applications and envelopes required to be kept securely so they can be later reviewed in unsecured election supply bins. Harding said Bankston told him to throw them in the trash, but he refused, so Bankston told Bordeaux to throw them away instead...
