Sure looks like the Donald Trump puppet Post Master has gone to work doing his master’s wishes real quick…
It appears that the Postal Service was gonna send the warnings out anyways….
But recent reports of ANY of the services actions has caused jitters to state official running their elections…
President Trump targeting the mail-in ballot voting attached to money for the service is making things worst…
Intersting….
The Post Office wants early mailings….
Trump shouldn’t be happy with THAT….
He’s back to trailing Biden/Harris in the double digits and with the Democratic convention media coverage?
Mail-in ballots will be starting to return to the states while Biden/Harris has a ‘bounce’ in the polls…
The letters sketch a grim possibility for the tens of millions of Americans eligible for a mail-in ballot this fall: Even if people follow all of their state’s election rules, the pace of Postal Service delivery may disqualify their votes.
The Postal Service’s warnings of potential disenfranchisement came as the agency undergoes a sweeping organizational and policy overhaul amid dire financial conditions. Cost-cutting moves have already delayed mail delivery by as much as a week in some places, and a new decision to decommission 10 percent of the Postal Service’s sorting machines sparked widespread concern the slowdowns will only worsen. Rank-and-file postal workers say the move is ill-timed and could sharply diminish the speedy processing of flat mail, including letters and ballots.
The ballot warnings, issued at the end of July from Thomas J. Marshall, general counsel and executive vice president of the Postal Service, and obtained through a records request by The Washington Post, were planned before the appointment of Louis DeJoy, a former logistics executive and ally of President Trump, as postmaster general in early summer. They go beyond the traditional coordination between the Postal Service and election officials, drafted as fears surrounding the coronavirus pandemic triggered an unprecedented and sudden shift to mail-in voting….
Note….
Sure the Post Office COULD probably be ran more efficiently ….
But maybe someone might want to deal with oversized pension rule Congress has saddled the agency with. and why do all this before a n election?…Oh, Donald Trump might just want ‘his’ guy to help him out?
How many here believe that this “MAGA red hat wearing bootlicker”Postmaster General is trying to “reform “ USPS?
He’s there for one reason and one reason only….
To take every measure possible to suppress voting.
All brought to you by Donald J Trump .
Reform is NOT the word….
I’ll address this later…..
Protesters staged a demonstration today outside the home of Trump crony ,Postmaster General Louis Dejoy.
Dejoy who claims he is seeking to “reform” USPS has taken actions to purposefully hold up the mails and USPS has informed some states they can’t “guaranteed “ the mail in ballots will be delivered on time to be counted potentially ndisenfranchising millions of voters
No explanation why this can’t be done ,while USPS openly brags about delivering billions of pieces of mail during Christmas season.
Answer Mr.PG?
Just saw a commentary by A.B. Stoddard today in Real Clear Politics titled “GOP Should Reject Trump’s War on the Post Office”. In it, she says that the $10 million Treasury loan the USPS received this summer came with stipulations that gave the Treasury Department new unprecedented operational controls. So the politicization of the USPS has already been underway.
