1. It's more likely that they run all day--24/7.

That’s what you want out of a top-of-the-line industrial machine. Time is money, so you want that machine running constantly. If it’s well-built, it will be designed to do so.

Losing such a large number of these machines for no apparent reason seems to demand immediate congressional action. That said, every single member of the House is up for re-election in November. Right now, they’re all in their home districts campaigning. They are not expected to return until mid-September.

The Republicans timed this attack on the USPS quite well.

2. What is his reason for getting rid of the machines?

Besides f'ing up the vote. I get his excuse about no overtime even if wrong, but how can he explain taking away the machines that would keep them from overtime?

4. A good question that he needs to be asked ASAP.

And he should be investigated ASAP. He doesn't have presidential immunity.

5. He wants to declare the election invalid and himself the winner. nt
