I receive no less than 5 pieces of unwanted mail a day. During this election cycle I assume I will receive hundreds of unwanted political campaign ads. I do not think 2 additional pieces of incoming mail for my household and 2 additional pieces of outgoing mail is going to bring the USPS to its knees.
And yes, f*** showing up to a polling place during a pandemic. I will be voting mail.
*USPS claims on their average day they deliver 472 million pieces of mail (
https://facts.usps.com/one-day/#:~:t...%20each%20day.).
There are 233.5 million voting age individuals in the US (
https://www.census.gov/data/tables/t...ng-tables.html)
So if 100% of all eligible voters were mailed a ballot and 100% of them returned it it would equal an increase to the USPS of less than 1 day of mail.
