Belong to a coffee club. Every month I pay for two bags of coffee and prior to COVID I'd get the email on Friday, Saturday the tracking number would be emailed, and by Wednesday I'd be good. Here lately I'm lucky to get the coffee in a week.. My gripe I'm out of coffee.. It's not the roasters fault.. It's the post office.. They only pick up so much at a time...

But hey let's vote by mail what could go wrong.

COVID19 has become the government excuse to slack off everywhere. The U.S. Mint is way behind, it took 7 months to finally get my IRS refund and they got the damned return before COVID, and the post office not only is slower but my neighborhood no longer has a clue as to when the mail will be picked up. Some days its 9 AM and one evening it came at 6:30 PM and none of them were heavy mail days. Our mothers both registered for absentee and both got their ballots the day after the election. The problem was the mail left Opelika (7 miles away) went to Montgomery where it stayed for days, and then came after the election. Trust the post office with mail in voting? Only a foreign, drunken, desperate, fool would do so.

I heard rumors that the mail sorters delayed ballots going to what they perceived to be primarily middle class voting zip codes. Don't know if it was true but it is certainly possible. Mail in? Hell no!
