In reply to the discussion: What It Took To Keep The Postal Service From Handing Trump The Election [View all]bucolic_frolic
(45,910 posts)51. Yes, I know, only 50% of Kentucky Democrats voted
and that is not believable.
But Eliot, you had many DUers worried for months! The biggest hurdle is behind. Trump lost the election. Now there's just Electoral College counts and voting, and eviction to deal with.
I never had a doubt. I thought Biden's underperformance in February was intentional. It gave him room to ignite like a rocket, and he did. I knew in May when "The Liar Tweets Tonight" trended. It gave Democrats oxygen. I knew during the first debate.
Trump attacked us, but not on policy. He failed to sell his ideas because he had none. All he had was rage.

Is there any punitive action that would prevent this from happening again?

Congress should take back full responsibility for the USPS. Restructure its hiring guidelines.

Wonder if any Senate races would have turned out differently if all lost ballots were delivered.
