I routinely receive mail meant for a different street with the same name miles and miles away that's a shared residence so I get mail meant for many other people.
I've gotten mail from the IRS for people living in an apartment complex over a mile away from me four days straight. My neighborhood also got skipped for mail delivery on Saturday.
My regular mail person is great, but every substitute fails miserably.
I moved to a new town a year and a half ago. Ever since, my mail is routinely thrown behind my bushes. I have a mail slot near my front door and bushes off the side. I have an outdoor camera that has caught the mail carrier that does it. They don’t even bother to attempt to put the mail in the slot, just toss it into the bushes and keep going. I have shown and sent the video to about 6 different people within the USPS and not a thing has been done. Luckily, I pay most of my bills online, but it does suck if I get a refund check or a package delivered by USPS or something and then never receive it it find it two days later just casually tossed in or behind my bushes.
Also can bring up that the government mistakenly sent thousands of corona relief checks foreigners. And dead people receiving them. But yeah, let's just mass vote by mail and no fuckery or huge "mistakes" will be made.
Quite a few times. We've also had our outgoing mail thrown on the ground multiple times because they didn't want to take it and we just had to cancel a check costing us 30 bucks in horseshit bank fees because our lovely mailman didn't deliver our rent check, it just disappeared. The fuck probably just tossed it.
So yeah, I have many reasons to be against mail-in voting.
Given me mail for a totally different person many blocks away (my address is (eg) 1234 12th st , his is 1234 32nd st)
Put packages in the parcel box and then left the keys in the parcel box door, instead of placing the key to that box in my personal mailbox, so anyone could have opened the parcel box and taken my parcel,
Put a key to the parcel box in my mailbox, but that parcel turns out to be for my next door neighbor, who got the key to the parcel box with my package,
Oh, and the lovely time the carrier put a jury duty summons in the wrong mailbox, the person who got it thoughtfully put it in my newspaper box at the end of my drive (if he'd discarded it or not seen it -bills are routinely shoved inside catalogs and magazines, which if unopened would be missed entirely-then I might have had a warrant out for my arrest) .
This happens so constantly that my husband drives to the post office and mails important mail from there, rather than leaving it to be picked up by the carrier.
I HOPE my carrier and local postal service center are not indicative of the norm in this country.
ETA Judging from the other replies, my hopes are misplaced. :-(
Another good question. Did you move after they mailed your first one? They'll send you another one. They claim something may change. I question whether a vote was counted without me turning two in just because a ballot was out there. I made sure to show someone me throwing it in the garbage, but I still question this.
Yep. I can tell you the past five owners/renters of my house, too. I still get their mail almost daily.
If they send ballots, I’ll get to vote at least five times! /s
My mail goes to the neighbors on another street all the time. Also I’ve had a lot of mail stolen.
Just think about if the mailman delivered a Trump letter the same time they delivered your mail in ballot.
Oops. Mailman accidentally lost your ballot.
My mailman throws my packages at our front door. I guarantee that idiot would throw my ballot in the trash.
Shit, I bought my house 5 years ago and still get mail addressed to the previous owners

Exactly.

Usps are actually some of the best govt employees, but only because the rest are shit.
When the bar is so low an ant would rather step over, it isn't saying much

I got my neighbor's refund check this year. Boy were they glad we're good neighbors.
And that's not even factoring in the preponderance of democrat mail carriers who are ripe for recruitment for ballot harvesting.
My mail carrier has routinely

They can't explain how boxes and boxes of ballots are suddenly 'found' days after the election is over.
Don't you keep your thousands of D voting ballots in the trunk of your car? It's the safest place to keep them you know
I get mail for people that lived at my house 10 years ago.
I've had mail for me sent to addresses that I have never lived at.
100%
Hell, I get the previous residents voter registration card every year.
All the time.
What should happen is we should start posting how to cheat and ballot harvest for Trump. That will make the Democrats put a stop to it.

I was shocked when I didn't.
Add that to the number of times a trustworthy source tells you they mailed something (other than a check) and you never received it.
Thankfully i haven't had a problem with my mail in ballots but i encourage y'all to still vote on election day
