(6,966 posts)The automated mail sorters are STILL off line and "no overtime/schedule first, cost saving mandates" are still the guidelines the USPS works by today. This despite the "good scolding" from the House of Representatives given to the postmaster general. He's NOT undoing the damage he has done. He's sitting pretty, thumbing his entitled nose at Democrats, in full knowledge that the USPS is broken where it will certainly count, in the swing states and anywhere voters will vote by mail. Unless he is forced to correct the plan he's implemented the USPS will still be BROKEN in November. And it gets worse, some of the sorting machinery has been dismantled and trashed, as in dumpsters full of sorting machinery. I'm guessing there will be NO WAY to get those sorters replaced in time for election day.
This election is FAR from a done deal. Too many in those critical swing states still intend to vote by mail. I think that's exactly what Trump is hoping for.
