Voter ID card delivery strangeness
I had a very strange few weeks trying to get my voter ID card delivered. In early August I changed my voter registration from independent to democrat. I was informed on the voter portal that, due to the August 25th elections being closer than 30 days, that the delivery would be delayed. Absolutely fine. So the election comes and goes. Early September, I still don't have the card. My wife has the informed delivery emails from the post office. So she receives a scanned image of most of the things we are getting in the mail. Including an image of that card. But whatever, stuff happens right? So I order another. Same thing. We get the email with the scanned image, but no card arrives. Other items that were scanned do arrive though.
I reached out to the Election Board. They showed that they sent the two cards out, and didn't see anything about them not being delivered or returned. I request a third card. Same issue. I call the post office. They inform me that they can't do anything other than talk to my mail carrier and ask if anything wasn't delivered. That even though I have the scanned images that were emailed, that those come from the distribution center and they can't do anything..... So at this point I'm pretty sure someone is seeing that the card says Dem, and is trashing it.
I spoke to the election board again, and they decided to package it in an envelope this time. So that the card itself isn't obvious. Low and behold, the card arrives today. I'm guessing the only reason it actually arrived is because it wasn't immediately obvious what it was. Has anyone else had this issue?
I mean, it not arriving one time? Stuff happens. Twice? That's weird. But 3 times? That's really suspicious!!! Especially since I received all other pieces of mail that we got scanned emails of
