A Kansas postal worker has been indicted after federal investigators allegedly found 4,404 pieces of undelivered mail in her garage, including 394 political mailers tied exclusively to Republican candidates and Republican-affiliated political action committees.
Federal agents said they found no political mail connected to any other party at the residence. On Election Day, Americans should demand an explanation for such a stark imbalance.
The Justice Department announced the federal charge Tuesday:
A federal grand jury in Wichita, Kansas returned an indictment today charging a postal worker with stealing thousands of pieces of mail, including hundreds of political mailings that were all related to Republican Party candidates.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Kansas reports that Kelly R. Cram, 59, of Baxter Springs, was charged with one count of unlawful secretion, destruction, and delay of mail.
Prosecutors say the mail was supposed to reach customers in and around Pittsburg, Kansas. Cram worked as a rural route carrier at the Pittsburg post office and had been employed by the Postal Service since May 2009.
Investigators from the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General went to her home on October 7. They allegedly recovered thousands of pieces of mail from the garage, including the nearly 400 Republican political mailers.
Cram was placed on administrative leave that same day. The Postal Service inspector general’s office remains in charge of the investigation.
The official release does not allege that ballots were among the recovered items, and it does not claim the missing campaign mail changed an election result. It does, however, describe a startlingly one-sided pile of political material that voters never received.
Attorney General Todd Blanche had already directed Americans to report suspected election-related crimes to the FBI as the country prepared to vote:
The U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas filing says Cram’s alleged conduct began on an unknown date and continued through October 7. The indictment identifies the recovered political pieces as material related to Republican candidates or Republican Party-affiliated political action committees.
The four-page indictment was filed November 3 and cites 18 U.S.C. Section 1703(a), the federal law covering unlawful secretion, destruction, or delay of mail.
The filing also says agents found no political mail associated with candidates or committees from another party. It does not allege a motive.
An indictment is an accusation, not a conviction. Cram is presumed innocent unless prosecutors prove the charge beyond a reasonable doubt.
Those legal safeguards matter. So does the public trust placed in every carrier who handles private correspondence and political speech.
A postal employee does not get to decide which campaign’s message reaches voters and which one sits in a garage. If the government’s allegations are proven, this was a profound betrayal of that duty.
The Justice Department separately published Election Day reporting information for voters who encounter threats, intimidation, or possible civil-rights violations at polling places:

The Postal Service inspector general’s office is continuing the investigation. Americans deserve a full accounting of why those 4,404 pieces of mail were never delivered and why every political mailer investigators reported finding in the garage pointed in the same partisan direction.
