most people just go by the PO in their area and drop them there or leave it for your carrier to pick up........mail boxes in residential areas do not get a lot of mail....Yes mailboxes were removed under Obama, but they were removed because first class mail volume was dropping. Fewer letters, meant fewer mail boxes needed, which makes sense. BUT ... DeJoy was removing mail boxes based on the drop in mail volume due to COVID, which like the oil production situation, usage plummeted at the beginning of the year. The difference is that everybody knew the mail in ballots for the 2020 election would mean the post office would become central in the election. One letter to apply for an absentee ballot, another letter to send the ballot out, and another to return the ballots to the election boards. So for every mail in ballot it actually required two to three letters to be mailed.
With that anticipated flood of hundreds of millions of additional mail pieces, it was a bad time to remove mailboxes.
