The specific snippet

The Postal Service has informed states that they’ll need to pay first-class 55-cent postage to mail ballots to voters, rather than the normal 20-cent bulk rate. That nearly triples the per-ballot cost

The node

[link] The Postal Service plans to triple postage rates on mailed ballots. Some have argued that local post offices or private companies should make mail ballots free, but if not done nationally, some voters might be out of luck.
