The vicious democratting of mail-in ballots continues
Donald Trump was wise to it already
Washington ballots mailed on Election Day or even days in advance could be thrown out due to postmark delays

“In years past, our post offices here would put a great deal of effort on election night to get the mail collected and transferred so it could get postmarked as of election day,” [Spokane County Auditor Vicky] Dalton said. ... //“The U.S. Postal Service has never guaranteed same-day postmarking …” the statement says. ...//In prior years, mail from local post offices would be delivered twice-a-day to regional processing centers, where it should be postmarked en masse by machine, according to Ryan Harris, president of the Washington branch of the American Postal Workers Union. ...//“If you’re lucky,” that piece of mail would be postmarked the day after it was sent, Harris added. //“But they just took away all of the (postmarking) machines,” he continued.
There's a union rep with an all-but-explicit political agenda talking. It's a little bit out of place unless he's defending workers from criminal charges of tampering with the mail.
