Postmark change could impact getting ballots, bills in on time

[QueerDuck]

1. In the past, where a postmark was critical... I asked the desk clerk to hand-stamp my letter...

rather than relying on the automatic system. This was quite a few years ago, before the cancellation date became an issue... but even then I'd receive an occasional card or letter with NO cancellation date. In my case, I couldn't risk that happening so I made sure the clerk "cancelled" the postage with her own date stamper.

I wonder if people with date-critical items like this will now start standing in line for personalized human service.
