With all due respect, did you read the announcement? This is only for packages. Ballots are unaffected.

  I'm trying to think about this in the larger context. By getting more money for a segment of the mail, they could be helping overall. But it's really late in terms of the election. There's no discussion about any adjustments on our current problems. The new usps leadership is saying there's a problem of not enough revenue to provide service. So is this a red herring change, or is it a reasonable adjustment to that? I'd say without connecting this to increases in service to meet the supposed current problem, this is a not an honest attempt to deal with it. If I was running the usps and I had intentions of providing proper service to the us, I'd address this directly "outr costs are too high, that's why we are talking about not meeting our needs, but we are going to get more revenue by doing this, and now we believe we can meet needs". But all those pieces are not there. Of course we can sacrifice some short term over-budget spending by the USPS for the crucial honest results for our once in 4 years election.
