Dear Sir or Madam The request was "Please provide the daily USPS BRM invoices for each day ballots were retuned for the general election." Please send PDF copies of the actual invoices from the post office for the mail in ballots that were returned to the county. The summary that was provided seems to be for all mail and letters up to 3.5 oz for the entire month. Only include the actual receipts for the mail in ballots that were returned to the county. Thank you

1 February 2024 Office of the County Clerk, Kauai C/O Lyndon Yoshioka 4386 Rice Street, Suite 101 Lihuʻe, Hawaii 96766 Email: <<email address>> Subject: Request for Business Reply Receipts from USPS and Clarifications Regarding 2024 General Election Chain of Custody Dear Mr. Yoshioka, I am writing to formally request records related to the chain of custody for ballots during the 2024 General Election. In reviewing the chain of custody documents provided for October 22, 2024, and November 5, 2024, I have identified discrepancies that raise concerns about the accuracy and integrity of the election records. The original chain of custody forms provided to me on November 21, 2024, for October 22, 2024, did not include any U.S. Postal Service (USPS) entries. However, a revised form indicates an entry of 3,004 envelopes without the required initials, dates, times, or supporting backup receipts from the USPS. This lack of proper documentation raises concerns regarding the integrity of the ballot handling process. According to the Lihue Postmaster, all ballot envelopes delivered to or picked up from the USPS are accompanied by an invoice declaring the number of ballot envelopes delivered. The envelopes are individually counted by the USPS, not weighed. None of the USPS entries in the revised form are backed by such receipts from the post office. Additionally, on November 5, 2024, the entry for the number of envelopes collected from the Hanalei NC drop box was corrected at the Kauai County Elections Office from 91 to 88. However, the envelope count spreadsheet inaccurately reflects this corrected number as 188 envelopes. This inconsistency further undermines the reliability of the election records and adds to the concerns raised by the discrepancies in the chain of custody documentation. Pursuant to Hawaii Revised Statutes §19-3 concerning election fraud, altering an official governmental document constitutes an election offense. This statute explicitly outlines that tampering with, disarranging, or falsifying election-related documents is considered election fraud. The discrepancies noted in the revised chain of custody form and the inconsistencies in the envelope count spreadsheet, including the addition of entries without proper authentication, could potentially fall under this violation. Therefore, I request copies of all Business Reply Receipts from the USPS that substantiate the USPS entries reflected in the revised chain of custody documents. These receipts are critical to verifying the legitimacy of the envelope counts received from the USPS and ensuring compliance with state election laws. Additionally, I request an explanation regarding the discrepancy in the envelope count for the Hanalei NC on November 5, 2024, as reflected on the summary spreadsheet. I have attached relevant documentation, including the chain of custody records and envelope collection data, to assist in your review. Please process this request promptly. If there are any fees associated with fulfilling this request, kindly inform me in advance. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your timely response. Sincerely, << Name removed >> << Name removed >>

Aloha, Please send the invoices that you have from the USPS that include BRM invoices for mail return ballot envelopes. From October 18 2024 to November 5 2024. Mahalo,
