The post office is pretty messed up. Will the Electoral College certs get to Congress by Jan. 6?

I thought I read somewhere they would be mailed.

Lots of packages and letters and cards sitting in a 'Distribution Center' right now.
Lots of fucking mail order medications too !!

Thanks to the current president and his postmaster Louis DeJoy.
Almost looks like a plan.

So they will be prioritized and are tracked. Intentionally delaying the mail will be noticed.

If worse comes to worst, they'll be hand-delivered.

Overnight delivery of the originals of legal documents was a key driver of FedEx in the early days.

Now the post office offers Priority Mail Express.

$27 / letter for overnight doesn't bother a lawyer, especially when they can bill the client.
