Can we trust the Postal Service to deliver this election?

I think we can't.

In early August of 2020, I ordered some computer parts for a computer system I was planning to build. Because they were computer parts, I was watching the tracking information carefully. In mid-August, they were "mis-sent" to a post office about 200 miles NORTH of where I live. OK, so package delayed. Disappointing, but not the end of the world. I figured it would be a few days. A few days later, I checked tracking and I was shocked to see status of "permanently lost". Yeah, it said "permanently lost". 

That was the middle of August. But that wasn't the end of the story.

On November 2nd of 2020, I went to check my mail and had two package slips in my box. Both of them had my complete name and address on them. One of them was dated 11/2...and the other one was dated 8/26. The 11/2 package was some vitamins I had ordered and the 8/26 package was (you guessed it...) the "permanently lost" computer parts!!! Now, what is significant about the computer parts package? Well, the delivery slip was dated 8/26... WELL OVER TWO MONTHS before delivery was even attempted.

Now, imagine this delivery was a mail-in vote. 

What if the election is only decided by a few votes or even a few thousand votes? The post office is already complaining that THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE INCREASED VOLUME OF MAIL RELATED TO THE ELECTION. It might not take too many "lost" (or even DELAYED) mail items to swing the election one way or other...

I think this will be a disaster...
