There are no "false addresses" ~ there are only "addresses" and the USPS delivers mail to them whether you like it or not.

You may not be aware of it but a government body called The Board On Geographic Names actually decides what is or is not "an address". The CIA chairs that body ~ and interacts with USPS regarding reports on route extensions and so forth so they can keep up with changes.

At the same time USPS decides what is a valid structure for an address on a piece of mail.

I really don't think you can win any contests involving "address" per se because you are going up against agencies who don't really care what you think.

People enter the wrong address all the for all sorts of reasons. It's amazing campaign headquarters operations get any mail.

Thank you. My point was simply that the current claim is that she or the campaign was not at the address. I don't know which she is claiming, since she gave 1242 for both her residence and campaign. But I guess she has time travel. Cool.

It the United States Board on Geographic Names...and I've dealt with them personally.

Okay...last I dealt with them, the chair was Library of Congress and CIA handled foreign addresses and the USGS administered it. It was an interesting blend...which makes sense when you consider all of the agencies doing geospatial work.

And I try to comply. Of course, the USPS doesn't always keep things straight themselves, as you know.

Sorry, but they don't have to think anything...an address given can still be used as evidence.

Agreed. Especially when a campaign plays 3-card Monty like hers.
