Leon County, Florida’s mail ballot envelope design placed the words “return service requested” 0.236 inches away from its election office’s return address, when it was supposed to be a quarter-inch, leading the USPS to reject it on September 2, the Tallahassee Democrat reports. The county’s supervisor of elections, Mark Earley, called it “ridiculous.”
After Earley’s office filed an appeal, the envelope design was eventually accepted.
“After several requests to postal employees today, I was granted a temporary certification for my envelopes in case the rule goes into effect. If the rule does not go into effect, then my envelopes are completely fine. So either way, we are good this election!” Earley told the Democrat in an email, referring to new USPS design rules resulting from President Trump’s executive order restricting voting by mail.

Practice makes perfect…
So many folks are on auto pilot, just waiting out “a bit more” until we can “fix everything” with the election.
- The predominate ballot machine company was just recently purchased by trump loyalists
- Biden was blocked on procedure but didn’t take extreme measures to remove dejoy from USPS or to halt or reverse the damage he did.
- Musk manipulated votes in multiple ways, he now has more money and more criminal liability this time around… So he’ll probably just sit this one out?
- flock cameras are watching you vote this time, scanning your face/plates, linked to a profile with your “estimated threat level” and deploying the limited number of brown shirts they have to most “efficient” areas where “they” are gathering based on flock cross referenced with exit polls and historical turnout for registered voters at a given polling place.
- ice agents may or may not disrupt polls directly, though the threat alone will keep many voters away. Though they may avoid direct voter intimidation beyond a couple early performative shows, they may just cause strategic disruptions NEAR real time targeted key polling places (see above point) and disrupt common car/bus travel routes
- all the above in coordination with news/media and social media companies owned and run by complicit oligarchs with incentive to tell the story the other fascists need told.
- and a now mature cult, pardoned from consequences of a prior failed coup, likely impatiently waiting for another story of national violence to help them unite as perceived victims or bask in the glow of a “victorious” violent act for “their team”.
Fuck the USPS. Never rely on them.
The spacing was 6mm instead of 1/4 of an inch. The metric system is socialist bullshit so rejected! Florida just saved American democracy, boys 😎
Not responsible for tolerances not given.
Florida has been republican for nearly 3 decades. Florida has a very successful mail ballot system. This one example alone flies in the face of the republican bullshit about mail in ballots.
Unless they want to say they only retain power due to cheating.
Florida is the best example of fraudulent voting. They found counties with negative votes.
It’s not something you want to use as an example.
I think Obama won Florida at least in 2008, but yeah since 2000 they’ve been republican with that exception.
No, Bush literally lost the vote in Florida but the Supreme Court “overturned” the result. There is no democracy in Republican America.
I know, when saying since 2000 I meant after that point I should have been more clear.
They did a lot of cheating there and elsewhere. Faulty machines in dem districts, the hanging chad thing. But in Miami Dade, they destroyed ballots. Then shut down the count with the so called brooks brothers riot.
Bush’s fans basically fillibustered the recount with court challenges while threatening violence, and who on the supreme court endorsed them? The now lionized Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Nortorious indeed, rot in hell bitch.
Well, he would have lost with a full, state-wide recount, however at the time of the ruling it was simply “stop trying to recount”. So Bush had ‘won’ the vote at that point, to the best of anyone’s knowledge at the time.
This is so pathetic
and it’s just the start of the fuckery
Yaa I dunno if pathetic is the right word. More… Terrifying? All these years of spouting off about election shenanigans, and here we are. I’m trying to get on disability currently, & I’m questioning how long social security will even remain solvent. Also questioning if that’ll even matter, or if I’ll eventually just get picked up and sent to a prison/camp because of my attendance history related to protests and related activities here in Hamburgerland.
Hey, I know this probably doesn’t matter much, but if you are attending protests and community actions, then I offer my sincere thanks to you. You and everyone else pushing back in every little way they know how has slowed their roll considerably, despite all the online doomtrolls insisting it makes no difference. It really does. And I truly appreciate you going out and doing it despite how precarious your own situation is. Thank you for that. I know that doesn’t put food on the table, but seriously, thank you.

To all our metric friends, they got rejected because the text was .355mm too close
deleted by creator
0.236 is so close to 6mm I bet this was metric first
Yeah … 5.9944mm. That a difference of 0.0056mm or 5.6 µm. A human blood cell is 8 µm.
To make this story make sense:
Leon County is 40% non-white.
Also
“The county has voted Democratic in 24 of the past 29 presidential elections since 1904”
And typically left leaning as a whole. In a pretty red state.
Let me guess, does it lean blue too?
Edit - just checked, and surprise surprise…
In case anyone wants to see it

Also: Florida.
You expect Florida to be excempt from this sort of thing.
Lol why? Florida sucks and has a deserved reputation as such. This is exactly the sort of thing to come out of the DeathSentance state.
I’m saying that you’d expect them to come down on California and New York while giving Florida a pass.
No. They were saying that as further evidence.
Wow, Republicans are really getting desperate. If only they could do things people would vote for instead.
But then they would make less money…
“I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States, that loves us so much he can’t even breathe, that I will go out with my family, my friends. I’ll do it any way – I don’t care if I’m registered or not, I’m going to try and cheat like hell like they do. There’s never been bigger cheaters. I don’t care. I am going to go out, and I am going to get my friends, my family, and we are going to vote on November 3rd or we are going to vote before that.”
If you repeat over and over and over for a decade that the left cheats. If you have the billionaire owned media parrot that. You can get a large enough base to actually believe it.
The voter fraud stuff started right after they stole the 2000 election, not coincidentally.
They saw just how fucking weak the democrats were and how we all trusted them to run the opposition. So they just decided to kill the republic and betray the country.
Here we are, still trusting these democrats. They will get cheated, they will ask the courts to not let the cheaters win, and the courts will side against them.
Make no mistake, the courts only sided with the democrats in 2020 because it was too much of a lift and they did such a bad job at stealing it. The Republic is dead if we don’t stop trusting these democrats.
