Mail-in Voters Beware:
My ballot was mailed 2/13. Today, 2/28, the USPS system says they have not received my ballot. Normally, the ballot reaches the Board of Election in 3 days.
My County and State are blue, but Trump controls the USPS.
On 2/25 SCOTUS decided that USPS non-delivery is legal.
3 days ago, SCOTUS ruled that the USPS can refuse to deliver mail. This could affect mailed ballots in the current primary and the upcoming general election, as well as all other mail. Not in the news.
