Watch What Happens When This Postal Worker Gets Exposed – Hundreds of Ballots in the Trash!

A Florida postal worker is now facing federal charges after being caught on camera dumping hundreds of election-related mailers, including at least one mail-in ballot, in a wooded area. The incident has raised significant concerns ahead of the upcoming election, but authorities have assured the public that all affected voters will receive replacement ballots in time to cast their votes.

The situation unfolded when Ottis Nicole McCoy Jr., a postal worker employed by Cummings Contract Delivery Service Corp., was found to have suspiciously finished his delivery route far earlier than expected on October 22, 2024. His early return raised red flags among colleagues, leading to an internal investigation.

A co-worker, who had helped McCoy load the mail into a delivery van that morning, became suspicious when McCoy returned unusually early. The employee reported the incident to the company’s management, prompting McCoy’s boss to review his delivery route via GPS. The review revealed that McCoy had deviated from the planned course, leading to concerns that the mail may have been intentionally discarded rather than delivered.

Court documents detailed the sequence of events: “McCoy may have disposed of U.S. Mail rather than deliver it to the proper addresses. P.K. saw that McCoy had a very large quantity of U.S. Mail to deliver on October 22, 2024. P.K. noted this because he assisted McCoy in loading the 2018 White Nissan NV200 Van in the morning when McCoy came to work. He later observed that McCoy had finished his route earlier than expected.”

The situation escalated when a homeowner provided surveillance footage capturing McCoy throwing bags of mail into a wooded area. The video, which has since been turned over to authorities, shows McCoy discarding what is believed to be around 1,000 pieces of mail, including critical election materials.

In response to the discovery, Glen Gilzean, the Orange County Elections Supervisor, issued a public statement reassuring voters that those impacted would still receive their mail-in ballots in time to participate in the election. “It is extremely concerning to see vote-by-mail ballots discarded on the ground,” Gilzean said. “We are, however, grateful for the prompt action taken by the United States Postal Service and the leadership of United States Attorney Roger Handberg from the Middle District of Florida.”

The swift action of law enforcement and the U.S. Postal Service is now under close scrutiny as the case moves forward. McCoy has been charged with federal crimes related to the unlawful disposal of U.S. mail, an offense that carries serious legal consequences, especially in the context of election materials.

Despite the alarming nature of the incident, authorities have worked quickly to mitigate the impact on voters. Gilzean emphasized the importance of ensuring that all affected voters in Orange County receive their ballots and have the opportunity to participate in what is shaping up to be a significant election. “We are fully committed to ensuring that every impacted Orange County voter receives their vote-by-mail ballot in time so that every voice can be heard in this historic election,” he said.

The discovery of discarded election materials has drawn attention to the importance of secure and reliable mail delivery, especially during an election year when many voters are relying on mail-in ballots to cast their votes. As the case against McCoy develops, the focus remains on ensuring that voter confidence in the election process remains intact.

In the meantime, federal authorities are continuing their investigation into the case, and McCoy is expected to appear in court to face the charges. The incident serves as a reminder of the critical role that postal workers play in safeguarding the democratic process, and the serious consequences that can result when that trust is violated.
