Still a liar.

On Dec. 24, a new U.S. Postal Service (USPS) rule took effect, stating that mail is not necessarily postmarked on the day it is posted — implicating official documents that require postmarks, including tax returns, court documents, bill payments, and, in some states, absentee/mail-in ballots received after Election Day.

USPS officials have said the rule does not reflect a change in the agency's practices. In a section responding to concerns, the rulemaking documents state, "[T]he present rulemaking clarifies the meaning of the postmark, including for both election officials and voters who choose to use the mail to vote. ... [The rulemaking] educates voters who choose to use the mail to vote that they can take certain measures if they need a postmark date that aligns with the date of mailing[.]"

Seems like something that should be fixed.
