Just a repeat from the other thread: I don’t see how this could hold up to any court challenge, when it directly interferes with an existing “universal” vote by mail system that we’ve had in WA and in other states for years now. It’s a direct Federal attack on an electoral process managed by the States.

I get that he doesn’t want new expansion of VBM in states that aren’t 100% VBM like ours here in WA, and I would expect an attack on individual states, based on how there are risks in cobbling together an expansion at the last minute. But this idea of using the USPS to attack all mailed ballots in every state is baffling. How do they think they can get away with this?

Can we consider this another impeachable offense?

Or, since that will go nowhere, at criminal conspiracy that can be pursued after he (hopefully) leaves office in January?

Nope.

The new head of the Postal Service has decreed that PACKAGE DELIVERY now takes precedence over ALL OTHER MAIL. He has also banned ALL OVERTIME, NO EXCEPTIONS, and cut staffing hours drastically.

That is why stack and stacks of First Class Mail is piling up at the Post Offices all over the country.

The senate hold a hearing? Why would they do that? There’s too much to uncover on Ukraine and Hillary’s emails.

Some people here believe that there is no way for Trump to steal the election. I believe that those who say that have not realized the amount of acts of corruption their fellow Americans of the Republican persuasion are willing to commit to maintain the White Supremacy project.

Forget mailing-in voting, Trump is not going to allow it and sabotage it if it goes forward. I no longer Trust the USPS with delivering my vote and the having Brian Kemp count it.

Prepare yourself for in-person voting this November, screw the Covid, this is not a football game or visit to the beach, you should be willing to risk health and life for the future of your country. Patriotism goes beyond waiving displaying a flag on your lawn.

He could have my polling place moved to a Covid ward and I would still risk my life to place my vote against him without hesitation.

The Dems need to ram through a special bill in the House specifically targeting USPS funding and policy and dare the GOP to block it. This needs to spend time in the spotlight from now until November.

The House is doing this, but this is a ‘Mom (Pelosi) and Dad (McConnell)’ situation.

All those endangered Republican senators and house members will be on board with this sabotage. They are smart enough not to say it out loud.

No testing. Because otherwise we’ll have a pandemic. No voting. Because otherwise we’ll have a competent leader.
