USPS

Mail-in ballot voter fraud remains what election experts have long called “the biggest problem that doesn’t exist.” Six years after the pandemic-era expansion of mail voting, the data hasn’t changed: fraud involving mailed ballots is extremely rare, and the safeguards states use to catch it are working.

If you make use of USPS for political direct mail, there are some important changes happening with the United States Postal Service (USPS) beginning in January 2014. The biggest change is that Full-Service Intelligent Mail is now required for automation pricing (automation pricing gives you discounted postage rates) for First-Class and Standard letters and flat mail as well as Periodicals and Bound Printed Matter.

On February 13, 2015 the United States Postal Service (USPS) experienced an outage in its Postal One service. To the uninitiated, this is the service that processes mailings and postage payments. All postal documents for mailings are done electronically through this system. Luckily, this didn’t happen back in October, during the height of election season.
