Can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but the postal thing has already happened during the USA 2020 election.

    Hi, can you clarify what you mean or provide a source? I'm not away of any widespread examples of this but it could be that I'm misunderstanding or misremembering.

    Louis DeJoy, the U.S. Postmaster General who was installed by Trump in May 2020, spent the months prior to the November elections undermining voting by mail and sabotaging the Postal Service. There were multiple lawsuits about it.

    The Trump government shut down automated mail sorting machines, cut overtime for workers (so if they weren't keeping up with the workload, they'd just stop delivering mail instead of working a longer shift), replaced a bunch of air mail delivery routes with road ones, added delays to re-delivery attempts when a letter couldn't be delivered and removed mail collection boxes.

    Supposedly all of this would "improve the efficiency" of the postal service. Yeah right.
