One of the facilities under review in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, would shift mail processing services to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, 90 miles away – a move postal workers and union officials have criticized.

Lehigh Valley, Lancaster, and Allentown are becoming bluer by the day. Traditionally home to fiscally conservative, socially liberal moderates, and are seeing more mail in voter registrations. State law also probibits mailed votes from being counted, or even opened, before election day, which has led to delays and confusion about elections in the state.

Reduced trust in the post office means reduced democratic votes in a swing state.

Something weird must've happened because your comment seems to be for another post
