As we head into the midterm elections, there is a crisis in America: Millions of Americans have lost faith in the integrity of our elections. To regain their trust, honest election administrators are vitally important, but that is not enough. There must also be transparency. This story may be a perfect example.
Have you heard about the disappearing trailer with hundreds of thousands of ballots? Jesse Morgan, a man who drove tractor trailer rigs for the U.S. Postal Service, claims that he took hundreds of thousands of completed ballots from New York State to Pennsylvania, was given strange instructions by Postal authorities, and then his truck disappeared— with the ballots.
The strangest part is that we still don’t know what happened to the trailer and ballots, two years later. It appears to be a Biden Administration secret, or maybe it is Russian disinformation!
On December 1, 2020, Morgan told his story at an Arlington, Virginia, press conference, hosted by The Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society (edited for brevity):
· “I drive a tractor trailer (subcontractor) for U.S. Postal Service.”
· “On October 21st, when I arrived for my usual route in Bethpage, New York, the expediter [said] ‘Hey, you’ve got ballots today. Someone really wants their ballot to count.’”
[Morgan saw twenty-four large trays of ballots (called “Gaylords”), containing as many as 288,000 completed ballots, in his estimation.]
· “At Bethpage, I was first loaded with two tall Gaylords that had mixed mail pieces bound for Lancaster. . . . The remainder of the truck was loaded with completed ballots bound for Harrisburg. I then drove to Harrisburg with the ballots.”
· “I wasn’t allowed to off-load.”
· “After waiting six hours, I went inside to figure out what’s going on. I was told to wait for the transportation supervisor.”
· “Sixteen months I’ve been doing this, I haven’t ever talked to the transportation supervisor for United States Postal Service.”
· “The supervisor told me to drive to Lancaster without being unloaded in Harrisburg. This made no sense to me.” [Perhaps it made no sense to Jesse because the Harrisburg load was put in the truck after the Lancaster load. Would it be blocking the Lancaster load?]
· “I wanted my ticket. A ticket is always provided to a driver. . .That proves you are there.”
· “I wanted my late slip, too, because I wanted to be paid for sitting in that yard for six hours.”
· “The transportation supervisor refused to give me a ticket and told me to leave. I then demanded he give me a late slip. . . . He refused to give me that, too.”
· “He was kind of rude and wouldn’t explain anything to me. He just told me to go Lancaster.”
· “I then drove to Lancaster, unhooked my trailer in its normal place and then drove my truck to where I always park it in a nearby a lot.”
The trailer and ballots disappear
· “The next day it just got weirder. I went to hook up to my trailer and my trailer was gone. Not there no more.”
· “What happened on October 21 was a series of unusual events that cannot be coincidence. I know I saw ballots with the return addresses filled out— thousands of them— thousands loaded onto my trailer in New York and headed for Pennsylvania.”
· “But as things became weirder, I got to thinking and wondered why I was driving completed ballots from New York to Pennsylvania. I didn’t know why, so I decided to speak up. And that’s what I’m doing today.”
When the story broke, mainstream media fact checkers pointed out that every ballot in Pennsylvania is matched to a voter, so it would be impossible to have thousands of illegal ballots in the system. That story from mainstream media was entirely made-up.
Although every ballot in Pennsylvania is supposed to be matched to a voter (in something called the SURE system), the books weren’t balanced. Or, in the parlance of Detective Mike Hammer, “the books were cooked.”
You see, this missing truck story meshes perfectly with another unexplained phenomenon: Pennsylvania could not identify a voter for each ballot cast. It couldn’t do it then, and it can’t do it now.
When the election was certified there were about 202,000 more ballots than voters in the Commonwealth. For that reason, the election certification was arguably illegal under Pennsylvania law. It is also the reason Republicans balked at certifying the Commonwealth’s Presidential election vote.
Since the election, additional voters have been found, and the 202,000 number has been whittled down somewhat. However, the remaining excess of ballots over voters is still a huge number, and it appears to exceed Biden’s winning margin. Using a Right to Know request, I tried to obtain a reconciliation of the numbers (ballots to voters), but the answer received was non-responsive.
Where is the Jesse Morgan case today?
In a September 2021 interview, Phill Kline said that he found Jesse Morgan to be credible, based on his own preliminary investigation. Kline still doesn’t know what happened to the trailer and ballots, and he continues to investigate.
In April 2022, a Pennsylvania attorney, Tom King, claimed he had been involved in the case, and had attempted to get information released:
I was involved in that case and we worked directly with the US Attorney Bill McSwain who is now a candidate for governor. . . . We got the truck driver over to the FBI offices in DC and to date we have met nothing but resistance from the postal authorities to release the report done by the postal police and the FBI. We’re close to getting it but that’s still unresolved as I speak to you today [in April 2022].
Attorney King says he is still in touch with Jesse Morgan, who reports that the Postal authorities and the FBI have yet to even interview certain people about this incident. Have patience, Jesse: It’s only been two years!
As for transparency, it may take a while to find out what happened. I made a FOIA request of the U.S. Postal Service, but my request was denied because releasing this information “could expose witnesses, victims, subjects, and law enforcement personnel to harassment and intimidation.”
Perhaps Rod Serling knows where we might find the missing trailer . . . and the ballots.
