Trump is martyring the postal service
There may be darker doings underway at the postal service. The new Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy, is a Trump megadonor who may be laying the groundwork for a postal fumble in the upcoming elections, when late-arriving ballots could play a decisive role if the presidential race is close. After taking the job in June, DeJoy canceled overtime and made other changes that have reportedly led to slower mail delivery. There’s also controversy over new plans to raise the cost of mailing ballots to voters. DeJoy has said he’s imposing painful changes because they’re necessary to save an outfit that perennially loses money, but critics suspect he’s appeasing Trump by creating a construct for invalidating thousands of ballots in November.
