Five-Hundy Post Office Challenge
Did you know that a big contributor to Biden's 2020 win was that Republican mail-in ballots were lost and Democratic mail-in ballots were duplicated? No? Well that's because it's not true. But that doesn't stop posts like this one making the rounds.
My mom shared this in September 2023 and immediately I knew what I needed to do. Obviously I was going to put this to the test. The real question is, will all my money be missing? Or will I have more money at the other end because I intend on voting for Harris this election? I was really hoping for the latter!
I sent $500 cash through the United States Postal Service. Warning: uneventful
I decided to mail it to my sister in a different ZIP code to make things more interesting. And it arrived! Sadly I only found the original $500 inside. But I proved that I had the guts to do it, thus granting myself the right to mail in my ballot!
In hindsight, this seemed like a completely pointless exercise. If USPS lost my card full of cash, it would be gone. Simple as that. If I checked the status of my ballot with my state and determined it had been lost, I could request a replacement absentee ballot or possibly fall back to voting in person. I have to ask... why would a postal worker risk their employment over destroying a ballot? They'd have to be pretty poorly educated, which I hear is a demographic Trump is really appealing to!
