Aside from the "cut costs, harm to service level be damned!" approach of the post office management of late, what can be done about what some (Well, mainly 45 and associated) claim will be an election fiasco with mail-in (as opposed to absentee) ballots, what could possibly be done?
Well, first the Post Office could reauthorize overtime and end the other "cost savings" measures until the election is over.
But is there anything else?
Certainly. There's one option that 45 has turned to for several emergencies in the past: activate the national guard and/or military. It worked for border security (at least so it's claimed), it worked for building the wall (at least so it's claimed), and it worked in setting up COVID emergency hospitals and testing centers. It's even claimed that deploying government agents has been effective in controlling violent protestors...
But, no discussion of how to address the potential problem, just complaints that the Post Office will be snowed under and it'll be weeks before we know the final results...
So, thoughts?
