She nailed it when she pointed out that he seems to accept a percentage of failure and, in some cases a high percentage, without any concern. He told her that her mother can expect the same service she's always had...right after Butler told him her mom never got a ballot. Tone deaf and belligerent.

@davidmoore5225 Месяц назад

How could the POSTAL SERVICE, deliver a mail in ballot, if THE STATE, didn't put it in the mail? That's more likely of a reason. And it is also more likely that she is LYING about it!!! Was the STATE, using an old address? Did the STATE, mail it 2 days before the election? Was a request ever made for a mail in ballot? I'm putting money on her LYING, but, Or, one out of five possibilities is slower mail delivery time than is supposed to be the case, being the case.

He doesn't understand a SERVICE organization is run differently than a for-profit business. He has no government experience and just DOES NOT CARE about customers. As a USPS employee since 1980 I am personally disgusted by DeJoy

And when i try to mail it again, the p.o. claims i need to buy more postage. So I'm paying them for their negligence. Is this the same postmaster that tRump put into office to dismantle the only truly private means of long distance communications?

@jackierostow9537 Месяц назад

You have to look at the (9) Board of Governors and see how they were chosen, their political affiliations, etc. The Postmaster General can't be "fired" so easily. He's a fixture of the GOP and has a goal - to prevent as many people voting as possible. He's so out of his league.

Anybody remember that his family trucking business has suddenly increased their postal service shipping content due to this change? The big picture is that they claim to use cost savings as a method of improving the business picture… wait a minute, this is a postal SERVICE not a business. As it is, Congress forces the postal service to completely prefund all retirement funds ( seriously affecting their budget balance ) yet no other government agency or service is held to this standard.

Shouldn't some of the damages that have closed post offices be covered by insurance and not be impacted by poor budgeting of needed maintenance funds? Meanwhile, our little rural post office had the sidewalk in front of it repaired last winter, and the sidewalk wasn't even that bad. Sounds like a combination of bad management from the top and some postmasters being better than others at the job of getting repairs done.

You can’t be serious, no one is trying to rig an election by not getting ballots to the customer. The problem with Dejoy is that his actions are showing us that he is not prepared to handle the pressure of all the changes that are supposedly happening to the USPS. There should be a better solution than just excuses. That’s where the problem is, not with Democrats, or Republicons. Now if there were some kind of election fraud it’s easy to figure out who’s doing it because those who get caught, are republicons.
