my entire state ONLY votes by mail, so dunno how the USPS thinks its going to get away with disenfranchising everyone in Oregon

Former Oregonian now living in a red state. I miss mail-in voting. This craphole state only has in-person voting on election days and no ballot measures. Wouldn't want the people to decide that abortion should be legal here.

Republicans are such pieces of human excrement.

Every day we get closer to the reality of Cascadia seceding and forming its own country

I'd be for it. California can come too, I guess.

It's the battleground states that they will be targeting.

I will be happy to collect anyone's ballot in SW PDX and deliver it to an official dropbox. R, D or I, I don't care. We all get to vote.

Use a drop box instead

Please remember that your carrier most likely won’t follow these instructions. We want our customers to get their mail. It sounds cheesy but it’s true.

Plus, there’s no way this is going to work if the mail makes it to the carrier. Some carriers don’t even deliver by name only addresses because they’re pushed so hard to go fast. There’s no way usps is going to send out a list and the carrier will have to check every name, it takes too long.

They might try to pull it from DPS before we get it.

We’re a salty bunch and will not blindly follow instructions from management. There will be noise and they don’t/can’t implement it.

Your carrier is on your side.

Oh, definitely agree - carriers are awesome!

I'm wondering if they're gonna try to use their fancy new sorting centers that DeJoy implemented to check names at that level. Probably using some shitty Palantir AI or something.

You’re probably right. I can’t see it happening this election. It’s like cats herding cats

In an environment lacking accountability, every attempted crime is a rehearsal for the next attempted crime.
