Assuming they are not busy???? gets processed and goes out in day 2's mail and I get it on day 1. Now I have to vote and it will get back to them after the election date. Some states allow up to 2 days. At any rate for on 1 million dollars I will consult with them and suggest that they move the dates back a week or two so THEY and the PO has time to process. Maybe I should get a bonus of another million for savings all those billions.

I agree that 4 days is too short a time. It should be changed to a week or more. But, I disagree with the idea (opening post on this thread) that it's too late now to add funding to get it done. Overtime, temporary workers, and other things are bound to help get the mail moving.
