- just a thought, but lots of mail sorting/distribution has been consolidated, tacoma had 3 or 4 machines, now our mail is sent to olympia for cancellin -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 19, 11:36 3
  - The problem is, the consolidated locations are also losing equipment. -- nm - Spawn Aug 19, 11:37 2
    - and adding additional transit time. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 19, 11:39 1

        Not only that, but the raw % number is over 50. Clinton had leads but there were tons of undecided, and struggled to even crack 48. -- nm - Reagen Aug 19, 12:12 3
        
        That flies in the face of the "oh, this country is so closely divided" narrative -- nm - con_carne Aug 19, 12:19 2
        
        I mean it *is*, but moving even a few % of voters is significant right now. -- nm - Reagen Aug 19, 12:23 1
