I’d like to see more reporting on the removal of sorting machines. I’m willing to believe that there could be an actual reason for doing this, such as making room of package handling, since that is supposedly an increasing share of mail.
But I certainly haven’t heard or seen any such defenses made.
This is such madness!
- ratsmack 6y ago>such as making room of package handling I read an article this morning on exactly that. It said that package handling had surpassed general mail volume and that they needed to shift their focus, so they are retiring some of the sorting machines.

- happytoexplain 6y agoThis kind of sarcasm is poisonous.
- Daishiman 6y agoWhy do you allow yourself to believe an excuse when Trump has openly admitted that he wants to steal an election?
- gumby 6y agoBecause it’s useful to differentiate the innocent from the malign and attack the only malign.

- czzr 6y agoIn an interview on Fox Business Network, Trump explicitly noted two funding provisions that Democrats are seeking in a relief package that has stalled on Capitol Hill. Without the additional money, he said, the Postal Service won't have the resources to handle a flood of ballots from voters who are seeking to avoid polling places during the coronavirus pandemic. “If we don’t make a deal, that means they don’t get the money,” Trump told host Maria Bartiromo on Thursday. “That means they can’t have universal mail-in voting; they just can’t have it.” https://www.tampabay.com/florida-politics/buzz/2020/08/14/trump-admits-hes-blocking-postal-funding-to-stop-mail-in-votes/ https://www.tampabay.com/florida-politics/buzz/2020/08/14/tr...
- sukilot 6y agoAgree or not, Trump's claim is that mail voting undermines integrity. And whether he's theoretically correct or not, honest or not, the first evidence from Paterson NJ showed that mail-in voting spoiled every vote for council. The number of ruined ballots was greater than the margin of victory. People are calling it a "win" because some of the fraudsters (or misguided people accidentally violating electionaw) were arrested, but that doesn't unspoil the vote.
