How does that map correlate to decline in mail volume?

1. That a policy might be applied generally and more broadly than necessary to achieve its specific ends is... unsurprising?
2. It's not conspiratorial to take the president's words literally and/or seriously.
3.  I added some highlights here, but this graphic from the Washington Post is... not Portland Oregon heavy at all.

Yes, clearly Trump is going to win Oregon by removing mailboxes. Sometimes you have to check your premises. Indeed, all these fights over mail-in/absentee balloting are a phony war because none of the extreme policies either way are in competitive states (with the possible exception of Nevada).

Here in Portland they have been removing mailboxes. It is a fiction that they only removed mailboxes from places that had two. There was only one as you can see in this photo memorializing the mailbox removed about 20 blocks east of my home. Portlanders have planted flowers in potholes, so this is not surprising.
