A U.S. Postal Service investigation has found no evidence to support a truck driver’s claim that mail handlers were ordered to backdate late mail-in ballots while another 100,000 ballots went “missing” during the presidential election in Wisconsin.
The Washington Times on Tuesday obtained a redacted copy of the USPS inspector general’s report through an open records request.
The Democratic-controlled House impeached Mr. Trump on Jan. 13 on a charge of inciting the violence. Law enforcement has brought criminal charges against more than 170 people in connection with the riot.
After Election Day on Nov. 3, Mr. Trump spawned the Stop the Steal movement with repeated claims that the election was stolen and that he had won in a landslide.
His constant refrain is that he was ahead that night and then lost battleground states in the ensuing hours and days as ballot counting continued.
“That election, our election was over at 10 o’clock in the evening,” Mr. Trump told the protesters. “We’re leading Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, by hundreds of thousands of votes. And then late in the evening, or early in the morning, boom, these explosions of bulls -.”
Postal employees in Wisconsin backdated mail-in ballots and nursing home staffers pressured elderly residents on how to vote, witnesses told state lawmakers Friday.

Postal employees in Wisconsin backdated mail-in ballots in the presidential election and nursing home staffers pressured elderly residents on how to vote, witnesses told state lawmakers.
A state election official, meanwhile, assured the Wisconsin lawmakers that there is no evidence of widespread fraud.
These and other witnesses testified Friday before two committees of the Wisconsin Legislature that held a joint hearing on allegations of fraud and irregularities during the Nov. 3 election.
