and for the U.S. Postal Service to get heavily involved in policing who can receive a mail ballot.
Of course, this will require significant new funding, which will be obtained from additional taxes on the middle class.

And after all that, assuming the government says you have standing, then you can try to fit in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to the satisfaction of Nazis, evangelicals and evangelical Nazis naturally.
Meantime, Congress snores like a president during war planning. (Can’t know if the plans are worth a damn, because… standing… and you haven’t been personally nuked. That’s just a hypothetical.)
Yea, this is what our Founders envisioned. It’s all gonna work really well.

No, no, NO. The Constitution is quite clear that elections are administered by the states, not the Federal government and certainly not the U.S. Postal Service. They don’t get to pick and choose what mail they deliver. DHS can’t count; 185 =\= 16,000. Darline Graham is an idiot, who will more than likely be sent to DC for six years. Bless the hearts of each and every person who votes for her.
