My sister called yesterday. A relative told her huge blocks of zip codes missing when the mail was

[Demsrule86]

sorted. They work for the post office. This has never happened before. Call your elected congress person or Senator. Make them pay in November.

[Blues Heron]

1. just the setup of your story says "cool story bro" all over it

so what were the missing numbers?

[Demsrule86]

2. Huge blocks of zip codes...that always have mail...the mail is being fucked with is the point.

They are slowing the mail down in order to affect the election...Georgia is in play remember.

[Blues Heron]

4. sure, but what zips are you (or your "sisters relative" rather) referring to?

how huge were the blocks

[cayugafalls]

17. You and your sister can be a voice for change! Here are the links.

I am sure they have the zip codes, right? They need to report which zip codes were missing and report them to the FBI and also the USPS Whistleblowers hotline.

This link goes directly to the Office of the Inspector General for the USPS.

3. Perhaps you missed the Post Office massacre over the weekend...now huge numbers of

zip codes had no mail...makes you go hmmmm...

[ancianita]

9. The main question I have: which zip codes? We need to report them everywhere.

Not just to the FBI. Mail tampering by person or programmed machine is a federal crime.

We need to help publicize this crime.

[DanieRains]

18. Barr Runs The FBI

[ancianita]

21. I hear you.But ZIP codes are public, & the House can investigate failures to deliver to zip codes.

Pretty sure that if anyone in any ZIP codes complains to the FBI, Barr can't stop them from doing their constitutional duty.

[FM123]

5. Hmmmm is right!

How odd to have entire blocks of zip codes go missing. While my first thought would be that someone was careless or dropped the ball in some way - now that we have Trump's lapdog DeJoy conveniently installed, we can not rule out something more shady. From top to bottom, shady is the republican way.

[Demsrule86]

13. This happened elsewhere too according to

My sister.

[tavernier]

6. So can Joe fire all of them his first day in?

Is that allowed? I mean I know anything is allowed for Trump to do but will Joe have the same privileges?

[Demsrule86]

12. Sure he can.

[Texin]

7. Does this have something to do with their sorting equipment?

I was hearing late last week or into the weekend that this has recently become a big problem. Where are these missing zip codes? Are they primarily in rural areas or in poorer areas within large metropolitan cities with large black and brown populations in a wide centralized area. For example, I live in Dallas, and I would describe a couple of them as South Oak Cliff and Old East Dallas, running down into Mesquite-Seagoville, though the AA and Hispanic population is widely dispersed throughout the city of Dallas generally.

I think there needs to be a Congressional investigation into this posthaste. It sounds to me like they may have targeted certain areas to purge mail delivery to specifically targeted communities much like they've strategically targeted voter purges.

[ancianita]

8. Probably. It can be programmed so that only the programmer and DeJoy can be held accountable.

[Demsrule86]

10. They are slowing down mail.

People depend on mail for prescriptions.

[MontanaMama]

11. I can't speak to the specifics of the OP

but I can definitely say mail is taking longer that it has in the past. I was expecting a small package (under a pound) that was mailed from Oregon to me here in western MT and it took 10 days to get here. Further, there are days when we get no mail at all at our business. That has never happened in 30 years in business at our current location. We will go 2 and 3 days at a stretch with no mail.

[womanofthehills]

15. So - I go to mail a package priority mail

It’s going to a town in my same state - about 2 hrs away. The post master says it could take 4 days. So, why would anyone ever use Priority Mail?

[Lonestarblue]

14. I get mail most days of the week--until lately.

Two or three days a week now, I have no mail. Sometimes the next day’s mail has more pieces, but often it’s still just a few pieces. Makes me wonder if some is missing. Much of it is either political or charitable solicitations, but I haven’t yet received my utility bill for last month. Fortunately, I pay most of my bills online, but what happens to people who can’t do that?

For the lawyers among us, what is the legal recourse to stop this and who needs to initiate it?

[cayugafalls]

16. This needs to be reported to the proper authorities. Here are the links.

I am sure they have the zip codes, right? They need to report which zip codes were missing and report them to the FBI and also the USPS Whistleblowers hotline.

22. Great idea.

[bucolic_frolic]

19. When they run out of time to hand sort, then abandon the project until the next day

perhaps a few put that pile to the back of the line, or it lacks first priority compared to other mail the next day

[Sugarcoated]

20. What state is this happening in?

[ancianita]

23. Likely all of the blue ones, at least.

24. Biden needs to get out in front of American public.. say: Be warned!

...that when I'm [Biden] president--anyone tampering with U.S. mail, committing fraud-- will be procecuted to full extent of the law and that means YOU donthecon and your lackeys!
