REAL AF with Andy FrisellaOct 28, 2026
On today's episode, Andy and DJ discuss Lula's presidential election victory over Bolsonaro amid controversy surrounding extended voting hours in Brazil, hundreds of Maine absentee ballot envelopes reportedly being shipped to a Soros-linked nonprofit in Maryland before the investigation was closed, and the Trump administration accusing CBS of omitting key details from its 60 Minutes profile of a deported husband and father.
Fox Baltimore's report on the Maine state investigation file says a box of Maine absentee ballot return envelopes was delivered to the Center for Civic Design in Cambridge, Maryland, on Sept. 13, 2025, and that 498 of 500 envelopes were recovered.
This claim is in the show notes, the publisher's own words. It counts against the post, once.
What we found
Supports. A Maine state report obtained by FOX45 says the Center for Civic Design in Cambridge, Maryland received a box of Maine absentee ballot return envelopes on Sept. 13, 2025, and investigators later recovered 498 of the 500 envelopes believed to have been inside.[1]
Supports. Reporting from The Maine Wire, as summarized by Your News, says investigators closed the case without determining how or why the envelopes were delivered to the Maryland nonprofit, so the shipment came before the closure.[3]
Supports. Townhall reports the investigation ended in spring 2026 with no announcement, consistent with the shipment preceding the closure.[2]
Context. The 'Soros-linked' characterization comes from partisan outlets citing the nonprofit's funding ties to Soros-backed grantmakers; the neutral Fox45 report does not mention Soros, and no source disputes the link.[2][3][4]
Context. The claim's 'hundreds' matches the 498 of 500 envelopes reported as recovered from the Maryland nonprofit.[1]
