Amid Amazon Prime Ballot Scandal, Shenna Bellows Picks New Election Day Ballot Courier, Ditches UPS

Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows hasn’t provided voters with any new information regarding the discovery of 250 absentee ballots in an Amazon Prime shipment since her widely panned press conference at the State House.

But she has quietly replaced United Parcel Service, Inc (UPS) with a new courier company to handle the delivery of Election Day ballots, according to communications reviewed by the Maine Wire.

Some Maine towns were informed of the change on Tuesday with an email from Director of Elections & Voter Registration Heidi M. Peckham.

“Official (Election Day) ballots are beginning to ship. Please note that your ballots will be delivered by a different courier, Vital Delivery,” said Peckham.
