City Councilors Michael Flaherty and Ed Flynn said a temporary letter carrier threw out an unknown number of ballots in South Boston, NECN reports.
Flaherty, who lives in South Boston, and Flynn, who also represents it, are outraged, both at the act and at what they say is the Postal Service's failure to report it to the city elections department. People can use a state Web site to see if their ballots have been delivered; if not, they can cast a provisional ballot at their regular polling place.
