[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sabotage of a wartime utility is treason.

Period.

That is what DeJoy and Trump are doing, with full assent of the GOP in the House and Senate.[/quote]

I bet you also think that repaving a road is the same as sabotaging the road. Such evil![/quote]

Bad analogy.

This is sabotage in an effort to 1) disrupt the election and 2) privatize/eliminate the USPS all together.[/quote]

We are talking specifically about the removal of sorting machines. So that they can better align their business to package handling. This is analogous to repaving a road to better handle current traffic conditions. The liberals are screaming as the repaving machine is grinding down the surface of the old road to prepare for the new surface. [/quote]

I think what they're saying is that the road repaving will occur during rush hour.  But as anyone knows, there's no good time to do road repair.  What the Democrats really want is $25 billion to pay 9 out of 10 road workers to stand around while one guy fills a pothole. [/quote]

Well, clearly this isn't the case. Mail volume is currently dramatically down, and 260 million ballots is tiny compared to the annual volume of 142 billion pieces of mail. This is the definition of a non-rush hour. Use your brain cell. [/quote]

Apples and oranges.  Ballots can't be late.  Packages and regular mail can be.[/quote]

USPS does not provide a 100% no-lateness service. It never has, and probably never will. No one does. I am not sure what your argument is intended to accomplish. Are you saying that we simply can't use the USPS to deliver ballots?

You actually just made part of the argument against 100% vote by mail.  Absentee ballots are by request, and thus those individuals requesting them are far more conscientious of returning their ballots than those who are just sent a ballot in the mail.  This doesn't even address the problem with inaccurate voter rolls, people who have moved, died, etc...  And the Democrats want all of this to happen in 2.5 months?  The USPS is only the delivery service.  Voter rolls are handled by every state and locality board of elections.  The idea of 100% vote by mail will take YEARS to implement properly, unless you want massive errors and possible fraud.  Who wouldn't want those in a Presidential election?

Think about how many years it took to fix the problems uncovered in the 2000 election?[/quote]
