Election officials warn that widespread problems with the US mail system could disrupt voting

State and local election officials from across the country on Wednesday warned that problems with the nation’s mail delivery system threaten to disenfranchise voters in the upcoming presidential election, telling the head of the U.S. Postal Service that it hasn’t fixed persistent deficiencies.

In an alarming letter, the officials said that over the past year, including the just-concluded primary season, mailed ballots that were postmarked on time were received by local election offices days after the deadline to be counted. They also noted that properly addressed election mail was being returned to them as undeliverable, a problem that could automatically send voters to inactive status through no fault of their own, potentially creating chaos when those voters show up to cast a ballot.

The officials also said that repeated outreach to the Postal Service to resolve the issues had failed and that the widespread nature of the problems made it clear these were “not one-off mistakes or a problem with specific facilities. Instead, it demonstrates a pervasive lack of understanding and enforcement of USPS policies among its employees.”

Who would ever trust their ballot with our postal service?

That's not good enough. This is not a banana republic yet.

And end mail in voting for God's sake. Elections are only complex when you're trying to cheat.

Well, looks like we’re gonna have to do in-person voting.

Oh, wait.

Is this for when late-arriving ballots are allowed to be counted until the dems win, it won’t seem so blatant?

We get our ballots, go vote in person and DO NOT give them back. We shred them ourselves. No guarantee though these days.

Because the mail was never expected to be a primary source for voting it’s ridiculous.

The USPS should be destroyed. They serve little to no good purpose. I throw out 99.9% of the mail I get before opening. The other .1% I throw out immediately after opening.

“voter id/signature, address match, same day voting, ink dye on thumb, paper ballot, deployed military vote 30 days early…”

Simple, isn’t it? Works for every other country on the planet.

I’d add “Wipe out the voter rolls after every quadrennial election and EVERYBODY must re-register in person with valid government ID.”

Also end the “motor voter” charade and letting people register to vote anywhere. Make sure everybody goes to the registrar’s office in person once every four years.
