When is Enough ,Enough?

Deliveries due to COVID have increased the work load for the USPS.

Mail in voting due to COVID have increased the work load for the USPS.

Trumps new postmaster Dejoy came in and immediately made moves that would directly slow mail processing like not allowing any OT hours and removing sorting machines across the country.

-------------------

“They need that money in order to have the post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots,” Trump said in an interview with Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo. “If they don’t get those two items, that means you can’t have universal mail-in voting because they’re not equipped to have it.”

A slower mail service could have a big impact this fall because an unprecedented number of Americans are expected to vote by mail and many states require a ballot to arrive at an election office by election day, regardless of when it was put in the mail, in order to be counted. At least 65,000 ballots were rejected during the 2020 primaries because they arrived too late.

“If we don’t make a deal that means they don’t get the money. That means they can’t have universal mail-in voting. They just can’t have it. Sort of a crazy thing,” Trump said on Thursday.

-------------

If the collective government wanted to ensure every American can vote, we would be in much better shape. Unfortunately, Trump is intentionally placing undue burdens on mail in voting.

Why is Trump against mail-in-voting? It favors Democrats slightly. In Florida, 2M democrats requested mail-in-ballots vs 1.375M for Republicans.

Trump won bc of 100k votes in swing states while losing by almost 3M votes in the popular vote.

Every vote counts.

Disclosure:

I am unable to think of any possible criticism of Joe Biden for the state of the USPS, Trumps appointee intentionally slowing down mail service and trump stating that if they dont agree to a stimulus deal (still not done by the way) the USPS wont get needed funding for mail-in-ballots.
