Anymore, any time I drop something in the mailbox, I wonder if it is going to get where it is supposed to be. When I am expecting something important in the mail, I wonder if it will actually get to me. I have seen USPS failures on both of those multiple times. Whenever I have to send something important, I insure it and have tracking. Even that doesn’t guarantee it will be delivered. Tracking often shows where the item went instead of where it was supposed to go. My wife sent some old family photos to a cousin in the Chicago suburbs. It took thirteen days for them to be delivered, and we watched every day where they went before they got to her cousin.
I don’t trust mail-in voting as far as I can spit.
This is a con, illegal and obvious ballot stuffing scam. Why aren’t these bastards been arrested yet?
Zero. Zilch. Nada.
The issue is about whether expanded mail balloting should occur at all, and the answer (if you fall out on side of the issue that CARES about voting integrity) is a resounding and unequivocal NO.
NO.
NO.
NO.
This is another case of conservatives playing into the hands of the Left by quibbling about whether the USPS can handle it...which is a detail. Comparatively speaking, an extremely UNIMPORTANT detail.
We do the same thing on a lot of issues. The Left builds their case on faulty foundations and goes up from there and we end up pulling at threads.
We need to go at the faulty and erroneous foundation with jackhammers, backhoes, and dynamite.
And the faulty foundation is that mail in voting is a worthy goal.
It isn't.
Mail in voting will be the bullet to the head of America.
Remember tax season in years past? The Post Office in the various towns and cities I lived in has a special "lane" set up for April 15th: you drive up, and you hand the envelope with your return to a worker. He then puts that envelope into a bin, clearly marked with the IRS office address.
If the Postal Service wants to go one better, they can do this: set up a similar collection "lane", accept the ballot, and insert into a sealed metal container clearly marked "Ballots". The entire container would then be delivered, unopened, to the counting area. The Post Office would not have a key, only the election officers.
This does not prevent some of the fraud methods that have been exposed in interviews with operatives. It does prevent the union postal worker from handling ballot envelopes multiple times on its way to the counting table.
I don't know if the Post Office has time to implement this idea; they may have to do with cardboard boxes with accountant's tape. But it can be done, and with little incremental cost.
Indeed, using this method would reduce the cost of collection and delivery, because several hundred mail pieces can be handled by the delivery service once, and without need for sorting (machine or hand). No need to postmark each mail piece, as they are bundled into a single container and delivered before the deadline, guaranteed.
Yeah, it will never happen.
The USPS union endorsed Biden. It’s absurd to have them be part of the election process.
That means they have Deep State Demonicrats who are willing to pre-date postmarks on bundles of phony mail-in ballots.
How much junk do you get EVERY DAY in your mailbox now??!!??
They should stop being a cheap delivery service for Amazon and others.
Why are we flooding the postal service with “mail in ballots”. This has never happened before and sets a dangerous precedent.
