Election officials warn that widespread problems with the U.S. mail system could disrupt voting

In an alarming letter, the officials said that over the past year, including the just-concluded primary season, mailed ballots that were postmarked on time were received by local election offices days after the deadline to be counted.

Sharon was just sharing with me last night that we are not going to vote by mail. We have had to much problems here in Albuquerque with lost mail, or mail being delivered to us that is not ours. Horrible! Lord have mercy! One time it took almost 30 days for a letter from a friend in Santa Fe to get to us here in Albuquerque! Just last month a friend from Minnesota sent us a letter, but we have never received it!

The greatest country on earth cannot provide good mail service? What is the deal?

They also noted that properly addressed election mail was being returned to them as undeliverable. The Rest of The Story Here
