US Postal Service: What’s going on with the post office? What we know
It doesn’t matter with which party you’re registered or for whom you’re planning to cast your vote this fall. If you’re one of the millions of people expecting to participate in mail-in voting, you may be in for disappointment. Drastic changes are happening at USPS facilities across the country that may 1) significantly delay your ballot or 2) cause you not to receive a ballot at all! I encourage you to contact your local board of elections and request your ballot as soon as feasibly possible in your jurisdiction.
“USPS is removing some mail sorting machines from its facilities around the country without any official explanation.
These are the same machines that would be tasked with sorting mail-in ballots.” – https://news.yahoo.com/postal-workers-sounding-alarm-mail-203218629.html
No matter your choice, it’s your civic duty to cast your vote. Don’t get caught up in the drama of these acts within USPS that will surely hinder your ability to perform your civic duty. Can you say “voter suppression”?! Good luck casting your vote!
UPDATE: USPS will stop removing letter collection boxes in Western states until, after the election, spokesman says – https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/14/politics/usps-removes-letter-collection-boxes-reduces-post-office-operating-hours/index.html
This is blatant voter suppression!
“…the USPS will stop collecting the letter collection boxes only in: Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Iowa, Alaska, Nebraska and small parts of Wisconsin and Missouri.”
