>Getting the mail delivered during the annual holiday mail crush involves outside contractors and lots of overtime by full-time staff. Even if everyone voted by mail, it would not result in as much additional mail volume as a typical holiday season. If half of registered voters from 2018 chose to vote by mail, that would mean that the post office would have to process 153 million pieces of mail. This spring’s first-class mail volume was already down 1.2 billion pieces from the same period last year.

>Assuming the seasonal trends this year match those in the past, the additional mail-in ballots in the fall still wouldn’t push first-class mail volume anywhere near last year’s levels, unless they were all mailed the week before the election.
