In 2016 it was Hillary's emails and in 2020 it is the Post Office and the volume of mail in votes

The post office will not be able to deliver all the extra mail because of the mail in votes is a pure
bullshit meme. And the main stream media is helping to "give legs" to that codswallop. The USPS
has been picking up and delivering the mail for >200 years now and the idea that picking up another
1 to 4 letters per house is going to overwhelm the USPS is a bold faced lie.

Trump should be called out to his face for promoting such a lie. And just like Hillary's "email scandal"
this USPS can't handle a few extra letters per household over a period of 2 months is a straw man
fishing for a red herring.

300,000,000 people in the US, so very, very generously there would be about 150,000,000 ballots.

A FRACTION of the number of pieces of mail that are processed every Christmas season. A FRACTION.

So yeah. It's total bullshit.
