Can’t they delay usual collection scanning 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 tramp
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
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.

They can collect it on schedule. But if they don’t scan it that day, you can get fucked by missing an important deadline.

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.

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.
Any and all but the most important.
