(14,275 posts)The boxes will return, but if they dont pick up mail from those boxes until after the election, we wont know. Trump is not giving in. Hell just changing tactics after being discovered.
The mail sorting machines are still gone, destroyed and not coming back anytime soon. So the election has still been disrupted.

(35,699 posts)WASHINGTON (AP) A major union representing U.S. postal workers has endorsed Democrat Joe Biden for president, a move that comes as President Donald Trump has acknowledged starving the postal service of money in order to make it more difficult to vote by mail in Novembers election.
The National Association of Letter Carriers, which represents 300,000 current and retired workers, said Thursday that Trump has long been hostile to the Post Office. His administration has called for an end to collective bargaining rights, proposed service cuts and has eyed the possibility of privatizing the functions of the agency.
These guys will thwart Trump's sleazy plans.
