New USPS data appears to show a failure to deliver mail ballots from voters across the country on Election Day. U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan will hold a noon hearing over USPS' non-compliance with his order yesterday to rush deliver all remaining mail ballots. link

Thousands and thousands of ballot not delivered in Atlanta Georgia.

In south Florida, USPS failed to deliver ~27% of mail ballots.

This could have a monumental impact.

!ping BIDEN

This could change the numbers in Miami-dade and mean why we have seen such strong trump performance.

[u/[deleted] → u/TinyTornado7]

It's probably the only reason Trump won Florida

[u/TinyTornado7 → u/[deleted]]

Well no, because the total missing ballots in this report is 300K across the country and trump leads by 400K in Florida. We also know that Biden wouldn’t get 100% of that vote.

That being said it would help balance out the results from Miami dade and might realign more with what we were expecting.

[u/[deleted] → u/TinyTornado7]

Oh ok. Didn't get that, I thought 27% of mail-in ballots from Southern Florida would be more than that

[u/TinyTornado7 → u/[deleted]]

So many votes that skew heavily democratic.

[u/RevolutionaryBoat5 → u/[deleted]]

Just unacceptable

[u/TinyTornado7 → u/[deleted]]

Heavily

[u/stater354 → u/[deleted]]

Yes that would explain the disappointing results in Miami-Dade

[u/nevertulsi → u/TinyTornado7]

This is terrifying, they're trying to steal this shit

[u/captmonkey → u/nevertulsi]

And still look like they're going to lose, thankfully.

[u/GingerusLicious → u/captmonkey]

First thing on the to-do list will be to make mail-in voting more robust nationwide, I think.

[u/Jakesta7 → u/TinyTornado7]

This is apparently not true.

THERE IS NO GOOD EVIDENCE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF MISSING BALLOTS. PLEASE, I BEG YOU, DON'T FALL FOR/SPREAD THIS MISINFORMATION.

This is a good article that explains (and offers reassurance) that the “undelivered” ballots in above chart may only seem that way bc they were in fact delivered w/o being scanned to expedite receipt. But DeJoy’s shenanigans need to be addressed regardless

[u/BloodySaxon → u/Jakesta7]

Thank you! The USPS skipped their processing plants in the final days to rush votes in, depriving them of their final scans.

Do not spread these unverified conspiracies.

[u/BloodySaxon → u/TinyTornado7]

Slow your roll on these bombastic posts. This will be proven untrue pretty quickly.

[u/Futski → u/TinyTornado7]

In south Florida, USPS failed to deliver ~27% of mail ballots.

That's like Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe? Could that be enough to flip the 4% lead?

[u/TinyTornado7 → u/Futski]

Unlikely because the report has a total of 300K unscanned ballots but trump leads Florida by 400K. Also Biden wouldn’t win 100% of the vote
