From struggling against rising oil prices to reportedly being out of touch with the news cycle, President Donald Trump has his midterm election work cut out for him. To improve his chances of winning regardless of voters’ wishes, Trump has tried to restrict mail-in voting. Now a new report reveals that Democrats in at least one state have plans to counter Trump’s attempted meddling.
“New Mexico officials are talking to FedEx and UPS about using their companies to deliver mail ballots instead of the Postal Service, said Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver (D),” reported The Washington Post’s Patrick Marley and Justin Jouvenal on Sunday. “The cost would be manageable because the state sends out a relatively small number of mail-in ballots, she said. ‘We are still planning for plan B in a worst-case scenario,’ she said. ‘There are other ways to deliver ballots.’”
…
I thought the issue was in processing them when they’re sent BACK IN, rather than when they were being delivered. If memory serves, the issue was that when processing a group of ballots sent in, if a single envelope had an unreadable signature or something similar they could remove the entire bundle.
How would FedEx or UPS delivering the fresh untouched ballots address this?
Their plan is 2-fold.
Get rid of mail-in ballots entirely, since it’s largely used by Dem voters and they plan to disenfranchise them as much as possible.
Eliminate the USPS so they can outsource it. This is the core of their smaller government bullshit. They don’t want a smaller more efficient government, they want to shift it to the private sector for the sole purpose of getting richer. Government agencies work within a set budget and aren’t there to turn a profit.
