So, what went right with USPS delivered mail in ballots?

I was wondering why, especially in those close elections, why we didn't see the same problems with undelivered ballots that we saw in a South Miami Post Office in one of the last elections?

Did we put so much light on the problem that Louis DeJoy read the writing on the wall?

Despite repeated checking and confirming my address and status,I did not receive my mailin ballot. That after sending an email to election officials, having a second ballot mailed, that I also did not receive. Compare the number of requested ballots to ballots received by election officials and you will see a big discrepancy.

With many places not having experience with volume they never experienced before. Now places have a much better idea and probably prepared accordingly.

Miami-Dade issues in 2020 were only 42 ballots, and they were on that with those people being able to vote.

Here in California, we kept getting swapped around ballots in 2020. Right street number, wrong street etc. I had to personally drop off ballots delivered to my house to neighbors a few blocks over.

This year was fine. Got my ballot, filled it out, mailed it back, and had it accepted by Oct. 13th.

I'm willing to give an election in the middle of a pandemic a mulligan for a few errors.
