The Truth

USPS says it has no evidence the trays were in its custody, and they lack the green tags that mark ballot mail. They carry red tags, which USPS reserves for political campaign mail. The Riverside County Registrar of Voters says it does not transport ballots or election materials this way.

The Text

"Political Mail gets red tags and Ballot Mail gets green tags"
