[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not only are mail-sorting machines being removed, but collection boxes - NEIGHBORHOOD MAILBOXES - are being removed. EVEN IN MONTANA.

No conspiracy theory here.  Mailboxes are removed routinely as routes change, or when drivers aren't available.  You do know we're in the middle of a pandemic, right?  Next you're going to say that the USPS has reduced the number of trucks, drivers, mail processors, etc.... all tied into Trump somehow engineering the USPS to rig the election.

Holy paranoia Batman![/quote]

Yeah, well, the Republican Senator from Montana (who, by the way, is up for reelection) doesn't think this is "routine" or normal.

I see nothing in his inquiry having anything to do with the election.  It also may be that he has received correspondence from his constituents that he felt it appropriate to make an inquiry.  He could just be trying to look good to his constituents and local voters.  Again, I don't see the broader conspiracy you're peddling.[/quote]

Considering Trump's attacks on the USPS, on voting by mail, and all of these moves by a Trump donor that mail carriers and postal workers don't understand, you're not AT ALL suspicious? Really? -NP[/quote]

First, the USPS has had problems for years, if not decades.  They existed under Obama, but he didn't do much to fix them.
Second, mass voting by mail hasn't been done before.  Now is not the time to experiment with it, unless you want a giant mess as demonstrated by recent state efforts.]
Third, a Trump donor getting the job isn't unusual, as a PP explained (even Joe Biden will be appointing donors).

Seems to me that Trump has a legitimate concern that the Democrats are pushing vote by mail to create a massive controversy like the 2000 presidential election.  Btw, there is significant potential for voter fraud because unlike the voting booth, ballots mailed in are subject to all sorts of pressure from family and friends (or heaven forbid, a single family member filling out the mail in ballot, sealing up the envelope, and asking Grandma to just sign the outside.

Since Democrats are so hot on pandemic preparation, why aren't they pushing really hard to have safe, in-person voting?  Seems to me that would be the better course of action.[/quote]
