(CNN)The US Postal Service will stop taking letter collection boxes off streets in Western states following accusations the removals would further limit some voters ability to send back mail-in ballots.
The change came after CNN and others reported on Friday that the US Postal Service has started reducing post office operating hours across several states and removing letter collection boxes, according to union officials.
In a statement Friday night, Rod Spurgeon -- a USPS spokesperson for the service's the Western region -- told CNN that the service will stop the removal of letter collection boxes in 16 states and parts of two others until after the election.
That means, according to Spurgeon, the USPS will stop collecting the letter collection boxes only in: Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Iowa, Alaska, Nebraska and small parts of Wisconsin and Missouri.

Only "western states", no mention of any other states. And can we believe them anyway?

Talk about rigging an election.
And you’ll ever guess the areas from which mail sorters are being removed.
Why else qualify that statement by region?Donnie and his thugs are catching hell on all sides and have their tails between their legs. I'd bet even Rethug congress critters are reading them the riot act. How the hell did they think this would play out? Fucking with the post office? Might as well ban apple pie. They're idiots. Incredible, freaking idiots. Ugh. 
Let's go vote! 
I've already mailed in my primary ballot and I'm set up to receive my general election ballot. I checked online today to be sure!
I've only been in New England for ten years, so I still feel like a newbie. Most of my life was spent in the Midwest, the Chicago area. Meanwhile, I'm very close to the Massachusetts border!
One week after requesting, mom and sis got there's. Mine should be here tomorrow.
Nah, ten years makes you a New England'er. Born and raised here in MA...and no I don't have a Boston accent. 
came from New England, so I've spent a lot of time virtually in New England, while working on the family tree. I was born and raised in the Chicago suburbs and no I don't have a Chicago accent! 
My daughter-in-law is from Massachusetts and she doesn't have an accent either, though her father does. This is a small town, so I'm optimistic that the ballots won't be slowed down too much. The primary came surprisingly quickly being it was during a pandemic.
Those boxes will never be returned to their rightful place, and the sorting machines have already been destroyed. It's a fait accompli. Trump and DeJoy have already successfully altered the election in Trump's favor. People can complain, there can be all sorts of mea culpas, but sorry to say, it's too damned late already.
