From the discussion
A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.
There'd be enough to do that if the USPS wasn't busy burning thousands of tons of Diesel fuel to haul Verizon and Citi card advertisements to everyone else.
It's almost like the republicans would be better off if they paid attention to their constitutional duties instead of just burning things down. This will clearly hurt them in statewide elections, but I wonder how it plays out in local rural elections. I can imagine the rejected ballots leaning more blue than average…
