Real Susan Collins energy here. Colour me skeptical.

There was an article that I saw yesterday that seemed to indicate that WA, OR, and maybe CA are talking with UPS, FedEx, etc. to cover for the USPS if they try any shit. That may be what is giving them some optimism.

I met 10 of them and 9 agreed. All dentists.

I'm hopeful we'll at least be able to pick up ballots and hand deliver.

We can already hand deliver them at numerous locations but I'm not sure where we'd go to pick them up and how they'd get there without using USPS.

Where is the corporate media championing states rights and all the constitutionalists? Almost like they were just scamming for narrow personal gain when it was convenient and are happy to throw out our country's covenant for others if it doesn't benefit them.

In some ways I'll welcome the chance to open civil war; this sick degradation for the last 80 years toward the antebellum south is disgusting and decent people need to get violent again, apparently. Bring it.
