The U.S. Postal Service is warning states coast to coast that it cannot guarantee all ballots cast by mail for the November election will arrive in time to be counted, even if mailed by state deadlines, raising the possibility that millions of voters could be disenfranchised. Voters and lawmakers in

1 / 4Election 2020 PennsylvaniaFILE - In this May 28, 2020, file photo, mail-in primary election ballots are processed at the Chester County Voter Services office in West Chester, Pa. Gov. Tom Wolf's top election official said Friday, Aug. 14, that the administration had to take action after receiving a blunt warning from the U.S. Postal Service that it may be unable to deliver some mail-in ballots in the November presidential election by the deadline in state law.

The post office is merely “asking elected officials and voters to realistically consider how the mail works, and be mindful of our delivery standards, in order to provide voters ample time to cast ballots through the mail," wrote DeJoy, a prominent Trump political donor who was recently appointed. Story continuesThe Post Office released letters it sent to all 50 states and the District Columbia on its website. While some states with permissive vote-by- mail laws were given a less stringent warning, the majority with more restrictive requirements that limit when a ballot must be cast were given a more dire warning.

Meanwhile, the removal of Postal Service collection mail boxes triggered concerns and anger in Oregon and Montana. Boxes were also removed in Indiana. All three members of Montana’s congressional delegation — two of whom are Republican — raised concerns about the removal of mail boxes in letters sent to Postmaster DeJoy.

How Trump’s Attack on the Post Office Could BackfireFor Trump to admit to deliberately trying to slow the mail process in order to curb mail-in voting is “stunning, because it is political sabotage,” says Philip Rubio, a history professor and expert on the U.S. Postal Service. Nothing is political sabotage to a cult leader. You just have to feed them something to make them feel superior, and they'll buy whatever dumb shit thing they sell. It’s actually election security.🤦‍♂️ Trump is making the President of Zimbabwe look like a saint.

Trump says he would not veto legislation that included post office fundingTrump says he would not veto coronavirus aid legislation that included funding for the U.S. Postal Service, which he earlier said was a sticking point in negotiations Sounds like realDonaldTrump is FAR MORE REASONABLE than Pelosi & Schumer. He cares more about the American People than they do... If we can go to the grocery store every week-we can vote in person one time. People can still do absentee ballot. Why is everyone making a bid deal out of nothing? The Democrats have already agreed on a bill. They’ve already passed a bill. The GOP leadership is not even involved in negotiations. It’s Trump’s administration that cannot agree on a bill. Meet the Democrats half way and it’s done. It’s that easy.
