“I suppose I’m missing something, but the federal post office is FEDERAL. Disallow its use for elections, President Trump!”

Interesting idea, but it would require legislation. It may even require a Constitutional Amendment, since the Post Office is one of the few institutions created by the Constitution instead of legislation.
How do you propose military personnel vote?
The envelopes in this post were covers for voter ballot applications, so it wouldn’t be unusual to have those envelopes color coded by party affiliation. It’s not secret information.
For what it is worth, I would allow the Post Office to only perform a certain small percentage of the voting. Simply say that it is not designed to provide more than that.
You are correct that the Post Office is created by the US Constitution. This should give the Federal Government more, and not less, control over its use.
States are required to implement Constitutionally Limited Republican (Electorally Representative) forms of government. This does NOT require the Federal Government to perform elections for them.
