YouGov poll today says MI is closer than WI

Wisconson: Biden +6
Michigan: Biden +4
Pennsylvania: Biden +9

That's also if the FBI doesn't take every single urban dweller hostage a week before election day.

I think we can probably fit centaurs in here somewhere too.

They are already holding up ballots by slowing down mail service

Are they?

Michigan to the right of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania?

Maybe Biden's home town being in Pennsylvania is running up the margins there?

This says nothing about the postal service withholding ballots. Though it does specify the USPS is facing financial troubles - they have for a while now - and that may effect things by slowing mail in general.

My question is what is Congress doing to fund the USPS? That's their job, to provide funding in the budget.

Probably! I know the Scranton area zip code is one of the strongest donor zip codes for Biden, even though it's not a traditionally Democratic area.

Outside of Detroit, Flint, Saginaw, Lansing and Ann Arbor, Michigan is actually a kinda right wing place. Shit, macomb county has got some really far right people like antisemites (seems to be quite a number of people I went to school with who believe in antisemitic conspiracy theories regarding the "synagogue of satan" and mass migration).

I know that. But Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are also like that. Hell, most states have blue urban areas and red rural areas.

The Post Office won't prioritize election mail unless states pay more.

This is just corrupt asf. Delays are rampant in the USPS now too do to cuts and new rules set in place by the Pro-Trump USPS Director.

It took three weekdays for my grandma and I, to get mail and for them to take my ballot. They usually come everyday. Something is up.

In other words, the USPS will deliver the mail like they always have, if you want your mail prioritized, you can buy priority mail

Well we shouldn't be surprised: the USPS has been strapped of cash. Not only that, we do have an administration suspected of rigging system in their favor- by making it as difficult as possible to vote. If Republicans lose in spite of this, I can guarantee you that Democrats will seek political vengeance; we may very well see some people going to prison.

Not necessarily: they can try to cheat, which may/may not be successful. I'm convinced they won't be as successful as they think they will be. Simply put it, if they cheat and fail and get caught, the GOP will royally suffer.

Considering the history of them getting caught and not suffering whatsoever I am not convinced this is true.

What real reason is there to avoid cheating, or at least attempting to cheat?

Depends on who holds the government in 2021, I suspect.

Mail is delivered everyday. Not every three days.

The USPS is a public utility more then a business and should act in a capacity that allows for a quick election count.

Honesty. Integrity. Truthfulness.

You know, the things Republicans make such a big deal about claiming to have compared to Democrats.

The don't.

Telconi himself has bragged about wanting to suppress Democratic votes because he disagrees with them.

You don’t believe in free and fair elections or anyone who disagrees with you being allowed to hold office or get anything done

Except for Sundays, holidays, etc.

Their job is to deliver mail, not run an election. There's no reason they ought to be prioritizing standard rate mail over any other standard rate mail.
