I understand the probable future need to retool USPS facilities to handle less envelope and flat mailings than packages, but everyone knew mail in ballot applications and returned ballots would be much greater than usual this Presidential election year because of the pandemic. Give one good reason this could not have waited until AFTER the election!!!

Timing is everything.
