My wife and I did our part. Now if USPS Express Mail would deliver our ballots, that would be great.

UPDATE:

At this point i'm convinced the USPS has been sabotaged to disrupt mail in voting.

I've had a piece of registered mail go missing just one month ago despite the tracking... I had a small package shipped from NJ end up in Iowa for some reason just yesterday, despite the destination being Boston.

The USPS is in a really poor place with all the private competition taking the lucrative package shipments. It's a shame we basically let them out to dry and accept service level decreases year after year so that we don't have to fund it at all with taxes. IMO there should be a fee levied for every package shipped by third party delivery services that benefits the USPS because mail is simply too important to all aspects of a country to forsake.

Yep, that's a pretty big chunk of it. Most of it's just a typical right-wing grift though, privatizing public services in the name of "cost savings".

Louis DeJoy is the current postmaster general, appointed by Trump in 2020. DeJoy also just so happens to be the founder and former CEO of XPO Logistics, a company that still has active contracts with the USPS to this day.

I checked and my UT mail in was counted, though washed away by all the red Mormons, but I absolutely suspect foul play with that orange cunt leading

Probably worth going in person, explaining the situation, and asking for a provisional ballot.

I am over a thousand miles away. Otherwise I would have voted early.
