We are seeing closer margins than the polls predicted. Do you think the slowing down of the post office 2-3 months before the election had an effect?

LOL, how come the left can make outlandish claims and they are not called "Conspiracy Theory's"? "Crippling of the post office, never happened and was never proven.

Meanwhile if Trump says "Voter Fraud" it's called a "Conspiracy!!!"

Funny

Possibly a small one. Either because of lost/delayed ballots or because people who wanted to vote by mail didn't trust it and also didn't want to go out in a pandemic to vote. I think it's probably negligible, though.

There was no "slowing down of the post office", other than the slowing down (less volume = less processing machinery and personnel) that has been going on for nearly 2 decades since the proliferation of email, the internet, smart phones, etc. The election is over, Biden won. Can we give this nonsense a rest and use this election as an opportunity for unity instead of constant bickering and divisiveness?

They say there are 300K ballots that have been scanned in but not scanned out of the Post office. Not an insignificant amount if a number of them were in Georgia, NC, the upper midwest or maybe some of the other hotly contested states.

No one crippled the PO.

that was a diversion from the voter fraud and improperly filled out ballots which will be discounted.

USPS was not a problem, fraud and expected errors in filling out the ballots are the problem.

Depends. Right now we know its 300K ballots not delivered to heavily democrat areas. However, we also know that some of those may have still managed to arrive, its not clear yet how many.

When the Trump post office guy (Forgot his name) was in front of the Senate, he did not dispute the slow down. Of course he was under oath and reminded about that.So this is not a conspiracy..when under oath the lies usually stop.
