A USPS whistleblower who accused his superior of committing voter fraud in Pennsylvania recanted his allegations after a USPS IG investigation.
According to the House Oversight Committee, Richard Hopkins a USPS employee in Erie, Pa “completely recanted his allegations of a supervisor tampering with mail-in ballots after being questioned by investigators.” Hopkins did not explain why he signed a false affidavit.
From the Washington Post:
Republicans held up Hopkins claims as among the most credible because he signed an affidavit swearing that he overheard a supervisor instructing colleagues to backdate ballots mailed after Nov. 3.
The Trump campaign provided that affidavit to Lindsey Graham, who in turn asked the Justice Department and FBI to launch an investigation.
According to The Post, the allegations were first aired by Project Veritas. The group’s founder managed to raised more than $136,000 for Hopkins through GoFundMe.
This as the Trump campaign, on Monday filed a new lawsuit against Pennsylvania’s secretary of state and seven counties, seeking an injunction prohibiting them from certifying the state’s results of the 2020 election, according to The Hill.
The lawsuit claims that observers were not granted enough access to watch vote tabulation in certain counties, and that Philadelphia County failed to comply with an order requiring officials to grant observers closer viewing of the process.
