Ballots among items stolen during Sacramento County post office burglary, sheriff says

SACRAMENTO COUNTY, Calif. — Two United States post offices were broken into overnight in south Sacramento County and thieves stole laptops and mail the sheriff’s office said Thursday. The stolen mail included election ballots at one of the locations.

Prevent people from getting mail ballots and then break in to steal completed ballots on the way to election offices. Do post offices now need to hire armed guards to protect from these miscreants?
