In an attempt to justify universal mail-in voting, Arizona Democrats Thursday downplayed the ongoing issue with mail theft and crimes against mail carriers that are soaring nationwide.
"Note, these 'drop boxes' do not have 24-hour video surveillance and the world continues to turn," Arizona's House Democrats said on Twitter.
As The Star News has chronicled the United States Postal Service and its ubiquitous blue mailboxes - used for absentee voting - have been under siege by criminals for some time.
Mail carriers in Columbus have fallen victim to a string of robberies, with criminals robbing mail carriers for their keys to those blue boxes.
The Star recently spoke with Frank Albergo, the head of the Postal Police Officers Association about mail crime across the country.
"The Postal Inspection Service data revealed that mail theft reports soared by 600 percent over three years, from about 25,000 in 2017 to roughly 177,000 through August of 2020," Albergo said, noting that "PPOs are a highly trained uniformed police force specializing in mail theft prevention and protection of postal employees."
"PPOs, for years, were conducting mail theft prevention patrols by using data to target specific zip codes where mail theft was most prevalent. Unsurprisingly, it was working," he said.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
