The Mail-In Ballot Problem

[Standing Wolf]

The USPS around here is delivering Amazon stuff on Sunday. Because they get paid to do it.

Ah, yes, I knew there was an exception, I just couldn't recall what it was.

it's special delivery for Mr Rogers... choo choo... Now Amazon needs to start paying income taxes.

Ah, yes, I knew there was an exception, I just couldn't recall what it was.

Tonight my relative in the Postal Service emailed me a few photos of the several huge pallets of first class mail and packages that were left at her station undelivered at quitting time today. There was also a full bucket of registered letters.

I asked why they weren't delivered and she told me they weren't delivered because they weren't sorted into routes. Who sorts the letters and packages into routes? The severely understaffed postal clerks, the senior one of whom at that station begins work at 2 a.m., but who have recently been directed by the Postmaster General through his divisional deputies to cut off all sorting at 8:30.

Why? Because if they continued sorting past 8:30 there would be more mail than the carriers could deliver in an eight hour day...and the Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy - whose expertise in all things postal appears to begin and end with the fact that he's personally contributed millions of dollars to Trump and other Republicans - has decreed an end to overtime, at the same time as he promises "greater efficiency" in the system and tells Congress that "mail is not being delayed".

It appears that someone is trying to make the USPS look as bad as possible, right up to and past the point of actual sabotage, at a time when the debate over mail-in balloting is starting to heat up. Golly, I wonder who that might be.

Why mail in voting? why not make polling places covid friendly, as suggested by health officials? One can shop at grocery stores etc, so why not do so at one of the most important places...where we vote?

The postman always delivers. My utmost respect and support of the postal service. Most mail is sent normal, so if it gets here tomorrow versus yesterday, that's okay....we are never the wiser. Point is, the postman always delivers. Raise the price of a stamp to 65 cents, I'll pay it.

Pen, the issue is not mail in ballots. The issue is the States are mailing out ballots to every address the Post Office can confirm. These morons don't give a damn who gets the ballot and have publicly stated they have no intent to verify signatures on returned ballots. This is the way of 3rd world countries...democrats now want to bring this bullcrap to our country.

Who thinks it is possible that this one issue could lead to a revolution?

Seriously. Leftists are known cheater and they will have armies of frauds collecting mailbox ballots and cheating. Trump could RIGHTFULLY call a massive election fraud and suspend the result, and then the revolution is on.

Possible?

2 weeks of voting days to stretch out the crowds. You could even do it by first letter of last name
to make sure everyone does not wait until the last day.

bull$#@! wolf man. be that as it may, the post office is not the issue. The issue is you don't know who sent in the ballot. Where the hell is Jimmy Carter...
