The goal is to make it seem that the postal service is broken and that private companies (those privateers) will do a better job. The postal service is in the Constitution.
My husband is a retired letter carrier. Prefunding the retirement of every employee, removing sorting machines, sending all mail to a central processing station, and now? Not even postmarking it until it gets there. Who knows if local stations will have a machine still to do the postmarking if you take it in and ask them to hand mark it.

It is critical to educate everyone now and often, especially before the primaries and general election.
