My sister called yesterday. A relative told her huge blocks of zip codes missing when the mail was

 
sorted. They work for the post office. This has never happened before. Call your elected congress person or Senator. Make them pay in November.

2. Huge blocks of zip codes...that always have mail...the mail is being ****ed with is the point.

They are slowing the mail down in order to affect the election...Georgia is in play remember.

You didn't answer the question...

3. Perhaps you missed the Post Office massacre over the weekend...now huge numbers of

zip codes had no mail...makes you go hmmmm...

Posted in response to post #1 and still no answer to the question ... 2 missed opportunities.

9. The main question I have: which zip codes? We need to report them everywhere.

Not just to the FBI. Mail tampering by person or programmed machine is a federal crime.

We need to help publicize this crime.

21. I hear you.But ZIP codes are public, & the House can investigate failures to deliver to zip codes.

Posted 40 minutes after the first ask by this poster and still no answer on which zip codes.

5. Hmmmm is right!

How odd to have entire blocks of zip codes go missing. While my first thought would be that someone was careless or dropped the ball in some way - now that we have Trump's lapdog DeJoy conveniently installed, we can not rule out something more shady. From top to bottom, shady is the republican way.

13. This happened elsewhere too according to

My sister.

The sister must be the post master general of the planet.  Probably has 12 stars on her uniform.

7. Does this have something to do with their sorting equipment?

I was hearing late last week or into the weekend that this has recently become a big problem. Where are these missing zip codes? Are they primarily in rural areas or in poorer areas within large metropolitan cities with large black and brown populations in a wide centralized area. For example, I live in Dallas, and I would describe a couple of them as South Oak Cliff and Old East Dallas, running down into Mesquite-Seagoville, though the AA and Hispanic population is widely dispersed throughout the city of Dallas generally.

I think there needs to be a Congressional investigation into this posthaste. It sounds to me like they may have targeted certain areas to purge mail delivery to specifically targeted communities much like they've strategically targeted voter purges.

10. They are slowing down mail.

People depend on mail for prescriptions.

I don't know who 'they' are, but they must be pretty powerful!  Is it the Clinton's?  I probably shouldn't have posted that ... I want to live.

11. I can't speak to the specifics of the OP

but I can definitely say mail is taking longer that it has in the past. I was expecting a small package (under a pound) that was mailed from Oregon to me here in western MT and it took 10 days to get here. Further, there are days when we get no mail at all at our business. That has never happened in 30 years in business at our current location. We will go 2 and 3 days at a stretch with no mail.

15. So - I go to mail a package priority mail

It’s going to a town in my same state - about 2 hrs away. The post master says it could take 4 days. So, why would anyone ever use Priority Mail?

20. What state is this happening in?

23. Likely all of the blue ones, at least.

The whole thing sounds more like; I heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend who, heard it from another you've been messing around ....

Have these mental midgets ever stopped to consider that the Post Office is not a polling place and has never been tasked to be the polling place for the entire country in a national Presidential election and that expecting them to handle close to an additional 200 million pieces of important mail (in addition to their regular daily workload) in a short time frame without delay or error is not something a reasonable person would ask for?

They jumped on the all mail-in ballot bandwagon early in the game when they realized the advantage it would give them to scam the system, never thinking about the stress it would put on a system already hemorrhaging money every year and whose service levels are mediocre.  This is not a slam on the Post Office or their employees, just an observation that the left is being less than honest in their insistence on an all mail in ballot while expecting perfection from the Postal Service.

We used to sing it “Caught it from a friend who caught it from a friend who caught it from another, you’ve been messing around.”

They demanded a system that passed all votes through the control of the federal government.

Just like they demanded all electronic voting after 2000 until they got it and still lost.

When I was a welder out in the field if one of the hands went out the night before and 'caught one' we would sing; Wild thang, you made my d*ck sting ... you gave me SOMEthang, wild thang ...
