I agree with what I think your point is, that having mail for all is a requirement of a civilization. (Sorry if this was not your point.) However, elections alone are obviously not enough to sustain a mail operation.

[Edit: I had a double-not, hopefully everyone understood my meaning before.]

I would argue that elections are enough to drag the USPS along at literally any cost.

How much would it cost to operate the USPS without bulk mail, i.e., with next to no revenue? I'm not even necessarily against it, but it has to be astronomical.
