And Dems actually warned republicans they would see disadvantages with their election inferences.

Over the past three years, as mail volume continued to plummet and annual deficits ballooned, the Postal Service started consolidating the processing of first-class mail at larger regional plants instead of at smaller hubs closer to local post offices. Then, in a little-noted switch that mostly took effect after the 2024 election, the agency cut the frequency of mail pickups in half at many post offices 50 miles or more from these processing plants, from twice daily to once.

The changes often added a day or more to delivery time and, most importantly for ballots, pushed back postmarking, which doesn’t happen until mail reaches the regional centers.

I knew that they had switched postmarking to the regional centers, and that they wanted to do more processing at regional centers. I hadn't put those two facts together. Nor did I know that they had decreased pickup frequency.

rural areas are mostly republicans, so its mostly hurting them, if not 100%

Aww. I hope they get everything the voted for either way.

It would be funny, except this is merely a minor symptom of the GOP's long-term efforts to kill the Postal Service as a whole.

"So many republican ballots thrown away by the DEMOCRATIC LED USPS, so we have to nullify the elections in these states led by DEMOCRATIC USPS governors"

Rural counties tend to lean Red, so once again, MAGA's little scheme is backfiring against them. MAGA's most consistent characteristics is virtuosic incompetence.

It's interesting to see that USPS is apparently actually trying to get ballots delivered as quickly as possible. It's their own fault they've been delayed, but still.

Thats what we voted for, this is all just desserts

They don’t actually care if it hurts their side just as long as more damage is dealt to their opponents. It’s a zero sum game for them

That won't be good for the red base
