The American people.

We won't have any election results until 2022!!!
No, because it isn’t.
I’ve voted by mail going on eight years with absolutely no issues.

What is an absolute disaster is Trump and his puppet doing everything within their power to sabotage the USPS.
Prior to this stooge being installed, there were no where near the number of delays being seen now.
Sorting machines are being removed. Mail boxes are being removed. Priority mail has been slowed from three-four days to eight-ten.
People are not getting their meds and other critically important items.
It’s a travesty.

Trusting the post office with mail in voting is insane, no reason we can't vote at the polls with SOME exceptions.

Texas (at least the major cities) is very flexible with voting. No Excuse early voting runs for about 2 weeks at assigned locations. In Houston, any registered voter can vote at ANY of the county locations since we voters are all linked up through their computer base to verify. I couldn't understand why they show these poor people voting for hours at a popular voting location when they could drive a few extra miles and vote at a less crowded one on Election Day.

there is no way to control, (QA/QC) mail in votes...no way to know that the registered voter is getting the ballot, no way to know if the actual registered voter is the one filling it out, no way to know if the USPS is actually picking them up and getting them to the proper destination, or if they are getting dumped in a dumpster


...
Except that there is.



If you have no first-hand experience with how Colorado runs their voting processes, you are in no position too comment about it.

The USPS is in the same situation and is moving in more conveyors to handle packages as it's true - besides junk mail - the volume of 1st class letters has seen reductions every year for the past 10 yrs as more and more people go online to pay bills, communicate with family ect.

The letter sent out to states is just letting them know that mail in ballots would have to be sent 1st class and not mass marketing. Trump has nothing to do with this - but nice try!!
Doesn't matter. They're just rousing the rabble. The left fears Trump will win the election so they are setting the stage for civil unrest and a possible overthrow of Trump.

Even Fauci is saying we should vote at polls. There will not be massive mail-in voting, that is insane. It's no different than standing in line at the grocery store. Strange that mail-in voting has become a liberal fantasy.

Fauci: "No reason we shouldn't be able to vote in person or otherwise."

Isn't it a felony to obtain a fake FISA warrant to wiretap, and spy on a Presidential campaign? I guess afelony is in the eye of the beholder, especially since its the felons doing the hindering.

Perhaps the mailsorting machines were so old, their maintenance costs were overtaking any efficiencies they were providing. Maybe they were breaking down so much, they were slowing down mail delivery?

The fake FISA felony became fact today, but the post office machinery removal is pure speculation.

Who makes the ultimate decision? It's made at the state level right? So red states will vote in person, blue states will vote by mail. Trump will appear to be the winner on election day because most lefties will vote by mail and most reps will vote directly at the polls. Then over the coming days and weeks the dem votes will trickle in and narrow the gap. If they don't eventually overtake Trump, the boxes of "found" dem votes will start showing up. Trump will claim it's voter fraud, dems will claim they found boxes of votes that republicans stole and hid. It then goes to the courts, where ultimately the bought and paid for(or properly blackmailed) John Roberts will make the final decision as the tie breaker in the Supreme Court.
