And are they responsible for the mail center's dereliction?Dozens of boxes filled with mail-in ballots are sitting inside a Miami-area mail distribution center, according to photos obtained by The Miami New Times.
The news outlet noted that the distribution center where the ballots are located is the same one that was evacuated in October after a mail bomb reached the facility.
The news about the ballots comes the same day Miami-Dade County announced it finished counting votes for the midterm elections, which includes hotly-contested Senate and gubernatorial races that have yet to be called.
Two unnamed sources alleged to The New Times that hundreds or thousands of ballots may still be in the distribution center.

A spokesperson for the Elections Department told the news outlet that it was aware of the development. Though the spokesperson added that any ballots not delivered to the Miami-Dade Elections Department by 7 p.m. on Election Day would not be counted.
"We do our best to educate voters that, if you’re voting vote-by-mail, then your ballot had to be at the Elections Department by Tuesday, November 6," she said. "Not everybody mailed back in time."
The Hill
Clearly, America is failing in its most fundamental charge.
