… Across the country, residents and businesses have been reporting widespread slowdowns in mail and package delivery by the U.S. Postal Service. The delays have become so persistent that members of Congress have gotten involved, urging the Postal Service to drastically correct course and raising concern about what impact the disruptions could have on mail-in ballots in the upcoming election.
The delays appear to largely stem from a new system the Postal Service began rolling out last fall that will eventually funnel all the nation’s letters and packages through a consolidated network of 60 regional distribution centers — similar to the airlines’ hub-and-spoke model. The change is part of a wider $40 billion, 10-year overhaul of the network that Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has said will reduce costs, improve reliability and make the Postal Service more competitive. But in some instances, the plan has done the opposite, according to the Office of the Inspector General for the Postal Service, members of Congress and Postal Service advocacy groups.
“It’s just a dumpster fire right now,” said Leo Raymond, a former Postal Service manager and managing director of Mailers Hub, an industry group for direct mail companies. He said his members have had everything from customer bills to strategically timed marketing material caught up in the delays. “If you’re a business, you’re going to be discouraged from using the mail because you want your stuff to actually get there.”
Nationwide, 87% of first class, two-day mail arrived on time during the last three months of 2023, a 2.5 percentage-point decrease from the same period a year earlier, according to data published by the Postal Service inspector general. For mail intended to take three to five days, just 70% arrived on time, a decrease of 11 percentage points, the data showed.

Yes, folks, it will take 3-4 weeks to get all those mail in ballots delivered, so it’s totally normally for the election to drag out for 4 weeks while the pedo gets the votes he needs.
EEOC and “diversity” hires are running that gov’t disaster. And they’ll need time to doctor the votes and add-in millions of straw votes to corrupt the 2024 GE.
But only mail service in Red areas will be affected.
The the delays will conveniently fall along party lines.
ROFL, the eighth month deep state psy op trigger was just activated, ie, slow mail processing = slow delayed decision for 2024 presidential election.
Most of us FReepers are old enough to remember when we generally knew by bedtime on Election Night who won and who lost. We desperately need to get back to that.
This is nothing but “prep work” for the election. Fake polls to make Joe winning appear plausible, some type of situation necessitating vote by mail extremes, and then delays in getting in those votes & counting until a winnable number is achieved.
yes, all the way back in 2016 and all years prior.
Covid changed our election laws, without the law actually being legally changed. What a coincidence it favors the communist party.
And especially in certain areas; painting the background, they’ll add the foreground as needed: Fox news calling Arizona, a burst pipe somewhere, the possibilities are endless.
Oops, “dumpster fire.” Toss those ballots in the dumpster and an election is stolen.
We are being indoctrinated to accept the postal delay. Call your Congress members now and tell them to get rid of all mail in ballots.
Are we that lazy as a society? No wonder we are losing our liberties!!
There. Fixed it.
Don’t get me started. We moved recently and did mail forwarding. It can now take a month for something to get to us. It gets to town.. hits the forward locally but then gets sent back to the regional center 3 hours away AGAIN.
Postal carriers union endorses Biden, warns that ‘survival’ of USPS is at stake
Why not have FedEx deliver mail-in ballots?
After all, money is no object to running our government.
/s
I’ll bet the Demoncrats already have plans in place on how to successfully steal another election.
Heck, it’s much better now. I already know the results!
;^(
Here we go again. Just ban mail in votes. The USPS is a mess all the time anyway.
How is it people in America managed to vote so easily for so many years until the 2000’s?
I want those old booths with the curtains back.
Easy fix....STOP MAIL-IN VOTING...PERIOD.....
