According to court documents, on June 3, 2026, Damon Matai Seei, 34, of Payson, Utah was working for the U.S. Post Office as a letter carrier where he was entrusted with delivering mail to at least 300 Eagle Mountain, Utah, residents. Among the mail were advertisements and hundreds of mail-in ballots that were sent to Eagle Mountain residents to allow them to vote in a June 23, 2026, primary election. As alleged, Seei threw away some of the mail, which he had been entrusted to deliver, into a dumpster in a church parking lot. “When American voters lawfully cast their vote, they should feel confident that it is counted,” said Acting Deputy Attorney General @PADAGMcCotter. “Allegedly throwing away hundreds of ballots is a serious federal crime that undermines the integrity of our elections. Ballot integrity is not a partisan issue.” Read more about this case:
