A US friend just e-mailed. "I have been arguing for months that Trump put in as Postmaster General a campaign donor who had conflicts of interest solely to diminish the service and find the pressure points to eliminate or discredit mail-in votes," he writes.
He says in his city, post office hours have been cut. The counters now close at lunchtime, noon to 1:30. He reports that the station staff told him that there's no logic to this--they don't need to catch up on back work--
so they've concluded closing the counters is just a way to keep people who need to come during lunchtime from mailing things. A letter carrier to his building told him last week there were planned but unexplained extensive power cuts to Post Office facilities--
that will shut services for extended periods. He reports that the letter carrier said, "They're practicing for November."
Now, I have no insight into this: I don't know whether they're "practicing for November" or whether this is just a sign that everyone in the US is gripped by persecutory delusions and sure the election will somehow be fraudulent.

But either one is a very bad sign.
