Trying to blur lines, so they can crime in those lines.
In many states postmark dates are used for verifying mail in voting deadlines.
You and the original comment are essentially saying the same thing.
Just mark your envelope as Republican by using MAGA stickers.
“The rule clarifies that the date displayed on a machine-applied postmark represents the ‘date of the first automated processing operation’ performed at a processing facility, rather than the date the mail was dropped off.”
🤔 Isn’t that the way it always worked?
If I go take a card right now, after hours on a Wednesday night, and put it in a blue mailbox, it’s not going to get picked up tomorrow because it’s a holiday.
It would get picked up and processed on the next mail service day which is Friday, which would be the post mark date, even though it was placed for delivery Wednesday.
Can’t they delay usual
collectionscanning for a day or a week in “blue” areas? I think that’s the hack here, from what I understood. Especially if the postmaster general is loyal to trampThe point is not collection. They can collect it on schedule. But if they don’t scan it that day, you can get fucked by missing an important deadline.
No, we can’t. Boxes have to be picked up daily, that rule isn’t going to change. There’s a barcode inside each blue box that must be scanned daily, plus not picking up the mail is delaying the mail, which is a federal offense
Right, so they’ll pick it up on time, put it in a warehouse “for processing”, and scan individual mail at a later date.
That’s not how it works.
But it could be how this will work close to elections.
To impact an election? I guess they could, but that wouldn’t impact vote by mail as ballot collection is also done directly by the elections department and isn’t dependent on mail.
As soon as they announced a delay in postmarks, people would just stop mailing ballots.
If they did it specifically to interfere in an election, that would be a federal crime and the Post Office takes that shit seriously.
As seriously as the federal government takes insurrection?
How many 1/6ers were arrested and imprisoned before Trump pardoned them?
Yeah, they take it seriously. Trump doesn’t, but he’s a moron.
How many 1/6ers were arrested and imprisoned before Trump pardoned them?
Any and all but the most important.
