I will crawl through a field of broken glass then swim through a river of open sewage if I have to, to vote against Trump.

Here again the news is twisting all of this around to benefit Dems and cause fear in people. Machines are moved and changed depending on the volume to facilities. My son is a project manager - updating and building new facilities for them. He told me due toon site purchases they are receiving twice - if not more - as many packages than they do during their peak season - which is the day after Thanksgiving - to Christmas. 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!!

"The United States Postal Service is reportedly retiring mail sorting machines. According to Postmaster general Louis DeJoy, the agency is in a “dire†financial situation, citing significant falls in mail volume, “a broken business model†and an inadequate management strategy as reasons for the “impending liquidity crisis.†Dejoy has been implementing changes since assuming the role in June, including organizational restructuring and a management hiring freeze, saying they’re meant to “strengthen the Postal Service.â€

From this article: https://www.engadget.com/usps-mail-s...160058157.html

It looks like they are restructuring because of their financial situation, which doesn't surprise me, think "email". It actually sounds like this DeJoy may have a clue how to run a business!

Can't you guys see that this voting by mail thing is an absolute disaster.

If Biden wins Trump will claim irregularities, If Trump wins the democrats will do the same.

WHO does it hurt?

The American people.

We won't have any election results until 2022!!!

The 671 voting machines are location in "High Population Areas".

Translation: Trump is purposely delaying mail in areas with the largest amount of Democats. He's trying to cherry pick to delay Democrat's votes.
