Mike Rounds: “That postmark may not be on there until two or three days…”

“West pointed to examples like fewer collection times and allegedly mail sitting at a processing center for days before being postmarked. Rounds hopes these responses are heard loud and clear in the review. That postmark may not be on there until two or three days after you put it in the mailbox, giving them an advantage of two or three days before they can even claim you've got a postmark on your letter. Playing games with the standards. And putting out that type of misinformation is not acceptable. There are no fine findings or recommendations published quite yet from the visits, but many South Dakotans are waiting patiently.” (02:33–02:45)
