We are overdue for honest and calm discussions about how much it truly costs to delivery the mail, how it should be paid for -- and who should pay.
"They want $3.5 billion for something that will turn out to be fraudulent, that's election money basically. They want $3.5 trillion — billion dollars for the mail-in votes, OK, universal mail-in ballots, $3.5 trillion. They want $25 billion, billion, for the Post Office. Now they need that money in order to have the Post Office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots. . . . Now, if we don't make a deal, that means they don't get the money.
“But they turned down this bill because they want radical-left agenda items that nobody in their right mind would approve. . . . And the bill is not going to happen because they don’t even want to talk about it because we can’t give them the kind of ridiculous things that they want that have nothing to do with [Covid-19]. So, therefore, they don’t have the money to do the universal mail-in voting. So, therefore, they can’t do it, I guess.
“The letters sketch a grim possibility for the tens of millions of Americans eligible for a mail-in ballot this fall: Even if people follow all of their state’s election rules, the pace of Postal Service delivery may disqualify their votes.”
