TIL my local post office started locking the drive-thru drop-off mailboxes at 5pm and they don't unlock them until 8:30am, even on election day
I saw others coming to my same realization.
It was my mistake to wait until the last day to get my ballot in the mail, but you would think that in a relatively voter-friendly state like CA, the boxes would be open before work for commuters.
@Gardenthymeherbs I don't understand why DeJoy is still there, either. The US Postal Service is an essential service and supports our National Response Framework. IOW, it's a critical piece of our ability to respond to disasters and emergencies. We need it more than most people realize.
