Earlier, nine discarded mailed ballots were found in a trash can outside the office of an Election Commission in Pennsylvania. The Justice Department said on the 24th that seven of the ballots were for Trump. Since then, the FBI has intervened in the investigation.

Pennsylvania issued a statement on this issue on the 25th, saying that this was an error caused by human error and that the ballot was thrown into the office wastebasket by mistake.

People familiar with the matter said that federal investigators believed that the incident was caused by improper procedures and employees not receiving proper training, rather than a sign of deliberate fraud. However, Trump once again attacked the mailing vote on the 25th, saying: “Democrats are playing games. You see they found ballots in a wastebasket. They found piles of ballots discarded.”
