    I'm sorry I don't buy this argument. I'll call BS.

    How many pieces of mail does USPS handle at Christmas? North of 1B (bubble capacity), as I heard FROM A POSTAL EMPLOYEE. Holiday mail is also not preaddressed/ coded addressed pieces...ballots are. And lastly, the majority of voting ballots would stay local or relatively so... Max ballots would be 100-200M pieces.

    Removal of equipment/boxes also BS. Postal volume is dropping as stuff like bill pay is online.

    Ignoring a union that backs the Dem party argument, and people who are pissy they can't milk OT any more...
    I don't intend to vote by mail though for the same reason the USPS recommends not sending cash. If it's not secure in one case...

    That's what they said, so I guess ask them. Wasn't so much that they can't but they couldn't guarantee delivery on time. So how long after election day do we wait to say all have arrived?

    Lost me at WaPo... Article claims 230m votes at risk... Huh. The population of registered voters increased 150% in 4 yrs, amazing!

    Doesn't pass sniff test.

    And from the article :
    'Even without the emergency funding Trump vowed to block, postal workers can handle the country’s mail-in ballots with proper planning , the head of their union said.

    “Piece of cake for postal workers,” said Mark Dimondstein, president of the American Postal Workers Union.

    Johnson, the USPS spokeswoman, also said the agency “is well prepared and has ample capacity to deliver America’s election mail.”'

    Again idk, coulda posted fox or cnn but they both quoted article did post. So just goin off what they say. But do know of the postal service works everywhere the same it does locally I'd have zero faith in them handling it.

    And pretty sure their number of voters is how many are eligible. Obviously not everyone votes tho. Last election was roughly 129m votes.

    Not sure where this belongs. If anybody can not understand why the average American is turned off by athletes kneeling listen to the first 22 seconds of Toby Keith's Courtesy of the Red White and Blue.

    And to piggy back on Sota,,, take 2 mins and watch this. No racism, no prejudices, just American heroes and love for each other and country.. BLM can shove it up their asses.. Ask the black man in this video if his life mattered to the soldier that saved him..

    After Hilliary's DNC speech I had to go back and watch the Rocks Hilliary song from 2016.

    At a bar in WI with a wedding party. One of the guys we with is from IL. We go up to the bar and ask for a beer. An old timer next to us asks the guy where he’s from. He says he’s from IL... The guy at the bar goes “FUC*** Obama was from IL. YUCK!” Hahahahaha. I love the Midwest

    He was from Chicago, stop grouping that in with Illinois please. Actually google says he is from Hawaii. But I stand by my original statement.
