A day late, a postage stamp short
I arrived home from work today to discover a flyer from Hillary Clinton waiting for me. The caption above a photo of Hillary and Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell reads, “You Must Act Today to Vote for Hillary in the Democratic Primary.” In smaller print, immediately below, it reads “Fill out the attached form and mail it back by Monday, March 24.”
Guess nobody told them about the speed of the Postal Service here in Philly. As a former mayor of Philadelphia, you’d think Big Ed would know better.
Meanwhile, in the instructions, there’s no mention of the fact that one needs to attach a stamp in order for the form to be delivered. I wonder whether unstamped submissions are being returned to senders — if so, somebody really botched the usability on that mailing, big time. Then again, as we know, usability and elections go together like vegetarians and Rocky Mountain oysters, so that would be par for the course.
Four more weeks and counting…
