Leon County, Florida’s mail ballot envelope design placed the words “return service requested” 0.236 inches away from its election office’s return address, when it was supposed to be a quarter-inch, leading the USPS to reject it on September 2, the Tallahassee Democrat reports. The county’s supervisor of elections, Mark Earley, called it “ridiculous.”
After Earley’s office filed an appeal, the envelope design was eventually accepted.
“After several requests to postal employees today, I was granted a temporary certification for my envelopes in case the rule goes into effect. If the rule does not go into effect, then my envelopes are completely fine. So either way, we are good this election!” Earley told the Democrat in an email, referring to new USPS design rules resulting from President Trump’s executive order restricting voting by mail.

To all our metric friends, they got rejected because the text was .355mm too close
0.236 is so close to 6mm I bet this was metric first
Yeah … 5.9944mm. That a difference of 0.0056mm or 5.6 µm. A human blood cell is 8 µm.
Florida has been republican for nearly 3 decades. Florida has a very successful mail ballot system. This one example alone flies in the face of the republican bullshit about mail in ballots.
Unless they want to say they only retain power due to cheating.
Florida is the best example of fraudulent voting. They found counties with negative votes.
It’s not something you want to use as an example.
Practice makes perfect…
So many folks are on auto pilot, just waiting out “a bit more” until we can “fix everything” with the election.
- The predominate ballot machine company was just recently purchased by trump loyalists
- Biden was blocked on procedure but didn’t take extreme measures to remove dejoy from USPS or to halt or reverse the damage he did.
- Musk manipulated votes in multiple ways, he now has more money and more criminal liability this time around… So he’ll probably just sit this one out?
- flock cameras are watching you vote this time, scanning your face/plates, linked to a profile with your “estimated threat level” and deploying the limited number of brown shirts they have to most “efficient” areas where “they” are gathering based on flock cross referenced with exit polls and historical turnout for registered voters at a given polling place.
- ice agents may or may not disrupt polls directly, though the threat alone will keep many voters away. Though they may avoid direct voter intimidation beyond a couple early performative shows, they may just cause strategic disruptions NEAR real time targeted key polling places (see above point) and disrupt common car/bus travel routes
- all the above in coordination with news/media and social media companies owned and run by complicit oligarchs with incentive to tell the story the other fascists need told.
- and a now mature cult, pardoned from consequences of a prior failed coup, likely impatiently waiting for another story of national violence to help them unite as perceived victims or bask in the glow of a “victorious” violent act for “their team”.
The spacing was 6mm instead of 1/4 of an inch. The metric system is socialist bullshit so rejected! Florida just saved American democracy, boys 😎
Not responsible for tolerances not given.
Fuck the USPS. Never rely on them.
