Calm down. In 2016, 125 million people voted. That is only a quarter of the volume of the daily mail the USPS delivers and we know most people will actually vote in person.
Two important things to remember, mail volume has been declining for years, and the pandemic has only increased this decline. The USPS needs to cut back. They should probably stop delivering on Saturdays and Wednesdays. And Congress should also permit them to raise rates. Compared to the rest of the world 55 cent stamps are a bargain. Change it to $1 or more. Still much cheaper their competition FedEx and UPS. They should also raise the rates on bulk and junk mail and maybe we would get less of it. That should cut down on paper waste and please the enviromentalists.

NO, but when the gov. (the king) closes ballot locations and makes it extremely inconvenient for some
locales/population to get to the polling centers....people who have to take buses,get time off work to make
the "cutoff" for ballot closing.....it APPEARS that SOME effort to control the voting process,to prohibit people
from voting (when a mail in vote is simpler) is the goal....the king will attempt ALL AVENUES of obstruction
to maintain his throne. (by the way a Link for Dr. F statement would be appreciated)

Homeagain,
Let's start with an easy one, something taught in Civics in high school. Election voting procedures are set locally, the KING( federal government) has no control over their decisions regarding election procedures. Did you skip that class?
So you have Austrian heritage and therefore have some relationship to "jewish" Was that Kristallnacht?
Do you proof read your comments are are you ignorant of the actual names of some universities?
For your benefit, The Johns Hopkins University not John Hopkins, Rutgers University not "rugers" I hope that this helps.
NOT DOIN THE DANCE WITH U WHEN U POST BLATANT LIES ABOUT ME.....I will throw this in the ring,
your are supercilious, seriously hung up on subjects regarding sex,race and religion...the ability to debate,
IMPERSONALLY is lacking, to the degree that it is embarrassing. IF U could become civil and detach from
the vitriol stance,the conversation COULD BE continued and contain SOME DEGREE of a two
way conversation....I find that prospect improbable....so, move on and find ANOTHER participator....RAMAGE
First link doesn't mention Trump. Second link is about the postal service... nothing to do with closing polling places and is also by Jennifer Rubin who is a never Trumper extraordinaire....
