1 - Could that be pulled off without the help of someone in the post office?
2 - What are the chances that it doesn't get noticed and reported by many of those 500 people? (As opposed to going door to door, and only collecting from people who voting records show have not voted in a while).
3 - what are the chances that once it gets reported the person gets caught? (see #1, which limits the potential suspects(
It would be an inside job but easy to pull off. Now that does not mean they won't be caught latter but it is to late then.

You were never in this but just popped in to attack me. This is a standard pattern for you. They come you up this all this other BS to try and deflect.
I just noted how you don't pick who you argue with, you use the same BS tactics regardless, such as crying racist when attacked, stick to the argument at hand.
With that being said, I hate personal fights, this is too close to that for me, all love here.

Sending ballots to our hero's on the front lines overseas and getting them counted correctly should tell us even more.

Do you know how long after election day the military ballots are usually counted? Do you think it's a good idea to use a system that will leave the whole country in limbo for so long?

(This is a separate issue from the greater potential for fraud addressed by @avromie7 )

Properly fund USPS and ballots will have a quick turnaround just like regular first class mail.

Now if you want the ballots delayed or not counted at all like Trump then don't fund them.

Do you agree that the limited number of potential offenders (post office workers) together with the greater potential for being caught, means it is significantly less likely to happen?

Possibly, but all the evidence (absentee, military, and this year's primary) shows that this is not true. (

Knowing one of three employees did it means nothing. You still have to prove it as catching them red handed.

No the evidence shows FCM gets delivered in a timely matter.

You realize we aren't dealing with just the post office? The logistics of this are daunting even if it would have been planned well in advance. Pulling it off in 6 months is impossible.

I am just talking about USPS roll in this. It is not a big task for them. They have pulled off bigger tasks when they were at their peak every year during the holiday season.

Haha Haha! ROTFL!

The post office has gone to $h*t well before Trumps new PMG. I still have $3000 in pending deliveries from *NOVEMBER*! Stuffs lost and not a soul is accounting for it. You retired in time my friend.

And it's not just me. I know tens of people in my business missing merchandise from holiday season and USPS did NOTHING besides tell me that they'll find it and send it out.

Their delivery for FCM is still outstanding.
Was your items insured?

Are amazon and other big retailers packages insured?
And AFAIK from when Covid started even FCM was auful. I think feburary time. Mailed stuff for 3 days, came a week half later. Priority mail was fine for me.

first question we need to resolve is whether it is a business or a service from the govt. after we clarify that than we can sort out what we think prez trump is doing

You have USPS confused with a retail business.

Nope. USPS had everything for awhile before everything got lost.
And separately feburary time I was dropping stuff off at my local USPS and it would slowly move thru the system, stopping for no reason for days.

USPS didn't sell you anything. They are not a retail business. If you want to use them as a shipper then get insurance and stop crying.

So if I buy from someone else who ships via USPS I can't complain because I didnt pay them to ship my item, the place I bought from did (but technically I did pay them thru the company)? And if I ship thru them my retail packages i should pay more money for insurance because they are awful and still not complain that I have to pay more, and can't complain that it got lost when I didnt pay for more for insurance?

OK you are not satisficed with their service, I get it.

This has nothing to do with what Trump is trying to do. We are going to have mail in voting. Either fund them or things will be a lot worse.
