for the November election and beyond. It should include their attempts to sabotage the U.S. Post Office; Trump's lying about mail-in voting being rigged; moving polling places; soliciting foreign help and any other tricks that they are using around the country to cheat, suppress or steal votes.
We need to make sure that the American People are aware of how their right to vote is being manipulated to either dissuade them from voting in the first place or how the Repugs are actually rigging the election in their favor.
I got to believe that the Repugs have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves all around the country and some methods of cheating, suppressing or stealing votes that we haven't even heard about here on DU.
We need to be aware of all their tricks so that we can be prepared to expose them and counteract their illegal actions with respect our rights to vote.
We need to make the American People know how their rights are really being infringed upon.
We have people shouting about how it is their right to not wear a mask. What about their rights being taken away by Trump and the Repugs with respect to voting?
What tricks do the Repugs have up their sleeve in your State? Please list here:

(17,613 posts)..for being over 1/2 inch thick and uses postage stamps. In other words you cant stick that lost earring into an envelope and mail it to your gramma and you cant get those cute greeting cards that have a music box in them. Forget about sending folded lotto tix in birthday cards. The sticker on my envelope cites the reason why my letter was returned ( stamps STILL reusable) because it states on the DDD2 sticker they aren't cancelled. So you have to walk it down to the PO and hand it to a clerk who will then treat it as a package and I had to pay 4$ more on top of the 1$ worth of postage already on it. So my birthday card cost 5$ and the postage was 5$. This was passed in 9-21 and enforced March 20. Apparently airplanes are worried about security and safety.
May not have anything to do with the new PO General but its one more thing that may slow mail down.

(10,053 posts)Hundreds of thousands of former felons can't vote until they pay off ALL their court fees - in many cases, they don't even know how much they owe!
In an early ruling in the federal case, U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle in Tallahassee noted there is no centralized office tracking fines and fees across courts in Floridas 67 counties. Amounts owed in older court cases can be especially difficult to determine because court records might not be immediately available.
