The first call to the Arlington Main Post Office resulted in a nice woman telling me that their system flagged the permit number as invalid -- expired, maybe.
She gave me the number of the business mail operation, and I called.
Recent diaries have mentioned the "how to register" mailer, with all sorts of misinformation, mailed to North Carolina residents.
It's interesting that the Business Reply Mail 1st Class Permit is from Arlington, Va., yet the addressee (who will supposedly pay the postage) is an agency of the state of North Carolina.
The questions immediately arise: who owns Permits 236? Why would the state of North Carolina use an out-of-state permit? Is this a state contractor? If there's no return address, and North Carolina refuses to pay, the (supposed) voter registration goes into the dumpster?
What I need, if possible, is a nice clean shot of the Business Reply Mail envelope. The gentleman I talked to would like to see a picture of it and I promised to email one to him.
