Trump admits he is undermining USPS to make it harder to vote by mail

[mysteryowl]

The president says he opposes providing additional money to the postal service to help it deliver mail-in ballots.

Donald Trump admitted on Thursday he opposed additional funding for the United States Postal Service (USPS) in order to make it more difficult to deliver mail-in ballots.

Trump’s comments lend evidence for critics who say the president is deliberately trying to hamstring the USPS in advance of the November elections to help his re-election bid.

1. I don't understand why a lawsuit can't be brought

Against this. There are states that vote only by mail. Their vote is being jeopardized by the dismantling of the organization that delivers their votes. Dump seems to sue everybody and anybody at the drop of a hat. Why can’t citizens band together and file a huge class action suit? Granted I know next to nothing about filing a lawsuit, but is this a possibility?

5. The ONLY thing that can be done is to side step the USPS by A. voting early in person

B. Hand carry your completed mail in ballot to the appropriate destination..varies from state to state and county to county so be sure to know where it’s to go

C. Or vote in person on Election Day

We cannot trust our completed ballots to the mail..period

8. I have committed to vote in person, come what may

I voted in the Democratic Primary today and my polling station was run much better from a health point of view than my grocery store.
Mask, gloves, eye protection, in and out, home to shower. Everybody was doing what they were supposed to do. My only contact with the poll worker was handing my driver's license, and they had a cleaning station if you needed it. The polling station provided new (cheap) ink pens that you took home with after you used it. (I passed on the sticker )

I was proud of the way my county handled the whole affair. I promised them I would be back on October 24!

9. In my state, we can check online to make sure our ballot was received AND accepted,

meaning, if there was any issue with the machine reading the ballot, that is shown as well. If a marking throws off the ballot, we can go in and redo it.
