Just wondering:Is there a way that Senators (Democratic) can

Get immediate access to any and ALL post offices they wanted to? Check for Mailed in ballots that are NOT being delivered. We know the districts in question, i'm sure! Would love to see this take place!

And trying to do that would further delay delivery of ballots, is my guess.

Someone of FB today suggested that we all stop mail ordering stuff to free up postal workers to deliver ballots. I said that hardly made sense, since the PO processes and delivers nearly 500 million pieces of mail every day. Even if every single eligible voter cast a mail in ballot, since there are about 230 million eligible voters, and their ballots would be mailed in over a period of time, the additional mail wouldn't matter very much. Plus the USPS delivers several billion extra pieces of mail during the Christmas season.
