| [Eleven Alive] ATLANTA — As metro Atlanta businesses and individuals continue to grapple with mail delays stemming from a new centralizing facility in Palmetto, an audit just released by the USPS Office of Inspector General on the opening of the same kind of facility last year in Richmond, Virginia says delays there lasted four months. Palmetto is a bit of a drive from Metro Atlanta. Could the tenured-entitled resent the commute ? The Atlanta Regional Processing & Distribution Center in Palmetto opened on Feb. 24, consolidating Atlanta, Augusta, Macon and Duluth area processing and distribution centers. REPORT: USPS audit report sheds light on mail delays in Atlanta and elsewhere Since then, 11Alive has increasingly heard from viewers who have experienced frustrating delays or other problems with their mail, impacting everything from their small business shipments to medicine deliveries to tax documents. Members of Congress from Georgia from both sides of the aisle, including Republican Rep. Mike Collins and Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff, have called for answers. Atlanta is not the first area to experience disruption following the opening of this kind of facility. They are a centerpiece of a system-wide modernization drive within the USPS, and the first one the agency opened was in Richmond last year. |

| #3 The efficiency in those facilities is to print the ballots already filled out. And then deliver to the voter centers once the broken water line is fixed. |

| #2 Did USPS use it as an excuse to replace older, maybe higher paid, employees with younger DEI hires? Untrained and probably more trouble than they are worth...? |

| #1 60 new postal centers, 60 potential presidential ballot delays in November. It could take months, even years to sort out. Computer voting from home is the key. Your online Dominion User ID and Password are now available. [sarc off] |
