Sen. Peters Launches Investigation Into Postal Service Slowdown - All In - MSNBC



“This cannot occur, especially in the middle of a pandemic. People rely on the postal service to provide critical mail to them in a timely way,” says Sen. Peters, “That’s not happening, and we need to get to the bottom of it.” Aired on 8/6/2020.

And I know! That's what scares me! They know they can't win by getting the majority of the votes, so they're exploring any way that they can to cheat - that's their (especially Trump's!) MO.

They know damn well that they can't win honestly, so their plan is to cheat by preventing people from voting - and because of the pandemic that they have exacerbated, they know that a lot of the country plans to vote by mail!

We recently had an outbound envelope containing payment lying in our mailbox (big flag up) for three full days after placing it there.

I called and asked our small town postmaster how many days per week they delivered on our route. She said, "six.". I then asked if the same carrier picked up as well as delivered. He did. When I asked why he drove by so often without collecting our mail, I got a few mumbled excuses and a promise of daily service.

My wife is convinced they only come around twice a week.
