It was sarcasm. My point being if they can handle the Christmas rush, they can handle an extra ballot per person once a year.

However, I suspect that the "USPS needs funding" narrative was stoked so congress would provide funds to make sure the blockchain voting system the USPS is implementing runs smooth.

Sarcasm is against the HN CoC.

We have yet to see whether, in its damaged condition, it could still handle the Christmas rush. With sorting machines unplugged and shipped off to warehouses or scrapped, with employees forbidden overtime to handle fluctuations, with hiring frozen, it is far from certain it can still handle votes. That is by design.

Sorry, I forgot the "/s" at the end.
