Joe Scott, the elections supervisor in Broward County, Florida, has warned voters to avoid relying on the U.S. Postal Service for mail-in ballots due to significant delivery delays. Scott reported receiving numerous complaints from voters who said their completed ballots were not arriving at his office within the expected two-day timeframe, with some taking over two weeks. He emphasized that ballots must be received by 7 p.m. on Election Day to be counted, and that even if mail service were normal—which it is not—it would be too late to mail a ballot now. Scott, an elected Democrat, noted that the issue appears more widespread than reported, estimating that for every voter who complained, 50 or 100 others faced similar problems. The problem became apparent after most mail ballots were sent to voters in late October, particularly affecting Hallandale Beach, a city within Broward County with over 25,000 eligible voters. Scott contacted a Postal Service liaison about the issue, but received no follow-up action. He criticized the Postal Service as 'dramatically degraded' compared to its previous performance, stating it is 'worse' than before. The Postal Service has not publicly commented on the matter. Broward County, home to approximately 1.1 million active voters, is a key swing area in Florida elections, having played a significant role in the 2000 presidential election. Scott's warning highlights growing concerns about the reliability of mail-in voting systems ahead of the upcoming election, especially in a county that is often pivotal in determining election outcomes.

Washington, Oct 22 (SocialNews.XYZ) The US Postal Service (USPS) has printed 20 million of its new Diwali Forever stamps, a number an official said was “a little bit on the higher side” because of strong advocacy by the Indian community. The stamp was unveiled at the Indian Embassy here on Wednesday (local time). “There was so much advocacy on behalf of the Indian community to create a second stamp. And we just knew that this one was gonna be super popular like the first one, and hence we printed a little bit higher quantities for folks to enjoy,” Sahibani Gambhir, a USPS vice president, told IANS at the ceremony.

Here comes the latest in ho-hum dystopia.
