of the USPS driving around in trucks and removing post boxes. Not ballot dropoffs, regular mail.

And they are removing sorting machines from locations across the country. No explanation for that has been offered - and it makes no sense. I get that they want to squeeze the number of pickup locations, but everything still needs to be sorted.

Fortunately, fucking with the mail is a federal offense and has a 5 year statute of limitations. Now they just need to prove it was malicious (3 months before an election) and not just some asshole with $75m in stock to USPS competitors just "doing his job" to "make them more efficient".
