6. Too busy delivering Amazon packages.

Oct 31

My last ballot (luckily for a one issue election that finished in a landslide) didn't get postmarked in time even though I mailed it from an actual post office a day ahead of time (and before the pickup time for that day). I know for a fact that post office is slammed with Amazon packages and delivery and has trouble handling it.

This is election interference in its own way. In Washington and Oregon, we don't have a choice. It's all by mail.
