Postal Service policy requires approval by the Area and public notification in order to permanently remove a collection box.


The IG report noted that this was a concern.


Our analysis of 205 statistically sampled boxes showed that 113 (55 percent) were permanently removed from the street without area approval and 102 of those (50 percent) were removed without public notification. 


My Dad is a retired Postal worker that was also a union rep for 20 plus years. He knows all of the rules inside and out. Half of those boxes were not scheduled to be pulled . . . someone just decided to do it in the middle of a campaign during a pandemic when Mail voting was going to be an all-time high. Until now, this never "happens constantly" as you claimed. Someone made the decision to break protocol after they were diligently following the rules for years.


Now . . . what is the reasoning behind removing and dismantling/destroying sorting machines with no replacement plan in place?

Wait your dad knows which of the mailboxes were to be removed? 12,000 were removed under the Obama admin.
