> Maybe we make the Post Office ALSO the Office of Elections and run them nationally or in partnership w/ locals.

Aside from the Constitutional issues that raises, the Post Office was disbanded almost 50 years ago and replaced with a government-owned self-financed corporation, the Postal Service.

So, first, we'd have to re-establish the Post Office.

My point is pop-up election booths is a bit assinine. Very error prone. Waste of tax-payer dollars, just put that money the state would pay into the Post Office coffers, and let them handle ALL aspects of elections (w/ some collaboration so they follow local laws / election guidelines since it's at a state level).
