This seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting (USPS postmark rule change)

If you don’t know when it is going to be stamped, then you cannot possibly plan accordingly. Trying to be early to get around the unreliable time frame isn’t planning accordingly, it is just guessing.
people should be filing thier taxes electronically , in this case.
oh don’t get me started. they just took away freefile.
Especially when they’re sure to find ways to demolish post office processing times around election seasons specifically to kill mailed in ballots.
This isn’t relevant, even when we’ve been slammed local offices separate the ballots and bring them to a hub or county seat if it’s within a week of an election. Postal workers actually care about doing their jobs.
It isn’t relevant, yet, but we’re seeing changes in how these things are made to work that are decidedly deleterious to the reliability of mail in voting, and you’re deluded if you think they’re going to stop now. Even questions of legality are at best peripheral to this administration, more interference WILL be coming, and it won’t be something that Postal workers simply caring about their jobs will be able to resolve.

Postal workers actually care about doing their jobs.

Next step will be to get rid of those people by any means possible…

There’s a sort of inertia within the organization, you both can’t get rid of those people not make them care more than they currently do. I think management has been trying to kill them off for decades. :)
