Delaware Gov. John Carney to President Trump: 'Do whatever you can, whatever is possible to fund the Postal Service so that we can conduct an election here safely, where all of the ballots can be counted.'

The US Postal Service warned almost all of the 50 states and Washington, DC, that voters could be at risk of not getting their ballots back to election offices in time to be counted because election rules are not compatible with the time needed for delivery and return of absentee ballots through the mail, according to letters released on Friday night.

The letters provide a stark reminder that the expansion of mail-in voting due to the pandemic is colliding with a slowdown in postal delivery because of controversial changes made by the new postmaster general.Most states were informed in late July by the service's general counsel that postal service analysis suggests local deadlines for requesting and returning ballots did not allow for enough time based on delivery estimates.

I personally would like to see more pitchforks in the crowd.

MiaFarrow President Trump is the biggest fraudulent mess in history. This makes the US look like a banana republic.

we know where the next wave of barr's secret police will be dispatched

CNN is a joke. Usps has been a bleeding disaster for a decade and now it’s all Trumps fault.

They can vote in person too!!

How is this ok?

LoveForAll24 Trump: “I’ll agree to funding USPS but I’d like you to do us a favor ...” His favorite and only negiatisting technique: extortion.

Trump is a true coward!!!

It’s just another scam. Democrats are asking for $200 for each and EVERY ballot cast to be “mailed” through the usps. That’s absurd.

Why the Dem Party is pushing mail in ballots so much? If ballots are not counted and a winner not determined by noon Jan 2021, the sitting President and VP will lose their seat. An interim President could go to the 3rd in line 4 the Presidency Nancy Pelosi. Is this the PlanT/F?

ShutDown_DC Chant this at that POS outside his home, & everywhere he goes: “DeJail for DeJoy!” DeJailDeJoy

Fauci said it was safe to vote in person yesterday :)

Trump is right.

SaveTheUSPS!!! Stop antiAmerican antiDemocracy traitorTrump from stealing our election!! lockUpTrump!!!

Trump is a grifter. He knows there’s no issue with mail-in ballots except that it allows more poor people to vote I.e. people who will vote him out.

🤦🏿‍♂️ this dude ain’t shit

I'm gonna ask, how do these so called protestors get the addresses for all of the department heads, from Police Chiefs , Senators etc. We the people know most of these protestors are paid lackeys, brainless twits who could not hold a job at flipping burgers, so follow the $$$

tRUMP WILL DO ANYTHING TO WIN-

PostalPandemic 'Slow down testing' has already made Americans victims of high COVID deaths, now Trump's 'slow down postal service' is predicting death of Democracy, nothing new since lawless Trump has torn Constitution to shreds, making America unsafe

This is the ONE reason I LOVE my Country, the REAL Americans show up and fight for JUSTICE

Jesus! All these people have nothing better to do? Open up these states and get these idiots back to work

'Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor CoVid stays America's Believers In Democracy from the swift overthrow of this criminal administration.'

Left is so easy to get excited over nothing.

Good. REMOVE DeJoy. VOTE SUPPRESSION IS A FEDERAL CRIME. DeJoy need to be PROSECUTED AND SENT TO THE FEDERAL PENITENTIARY FOR 20 years.

Can’t even blame trump y’all just look like u wanna commit election fraud this year

Whoever knowingly and willfully obstructs or retards the passage of the mail, or any carrier or conveyance carrying the mail, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

My mother voted for Decrepit realDonaldTrump in 2016,she can't get around as good as she use to so she asks me to take her to where she needs to go&to fill out her paperwork.She assumes that I will be taking her to the polls this year so she can vote republican she thought wrong

Pure propaganda

If you can stand in line at Walmart with a mask on you can stand in line to vote with a mask on.

Sounds more like belarus or Russia to me. Trump is desperate and his actions speaks volumes. The actions of an very unstable moron.

Additional $ is not defunding but, cnn knows that

闫丽梦博士继续接受班农采访揭露病毒真相

donlemon the enteral ass who couldn’t find the truth with a map and an extra hand.

Why do you always listen to biased opinion on CNN

Opinion of the CNN is like the long flatulence of a full night of eating curry.

Voting is the most direct and immediate way for people to influence government. If voting is suppressed, no other peaceful ways of petitioning our government will work, not lawsuits, not protesting. Take away voting and the people will be forced to use other means. SaveTheUSPS

Well dont go vote fools!You have the time to go to the beach but no time to vote!😀

PROSECUTE DONNIE

This tactic is like telling gun owners they have the right to bear arms, but at the same time banning the sale of all ammunition... it is a direct suppression of the right of suffrage

It's all about voter suppression plain and simple

It's up to the states to run their elections NOT THE POST OFFICE PEOPLE! Pay attention to how this plays out folks. States should offer repositories for the ballots, verification and security.

Who said you can’t vote? Turn Judge Judy off for one day, hop in the car and go vote.

help the Belarusians! 🕊 we need public assistance and protection! we have been deprived of the right to vote and will soon be deprived of our lives! 🇧🇾

SimonMarksFSN

Yeah! Trump is bad! In person voting worked fine for the last few 100 years, but Trump is sabotaging the elections because of..... in person voting! Yeah right!!!

You’re the AG, litigate......All of you....

He’s too stupid to realize that there are a lot of Republicans who want and need to vote by mail as well. He’s desperate.

Go to the polls n vote

That guy has way too much lipstick and makeup on? 😆 🤣 😂 anyways fair election is going to poll booth and votingninnpersonbor absentee ballot not some mass mail in vote crap..if u can wear mask social distance and go out to a store then u can go wait in line to vote!!!

BLAH BLAH BLAH Simple answer GO VOTE IN PERSON. You can go to the Market,Target,Walmart,Home Depot,Best Buy,Liquor Store and go get Food. You can go Vote. When you do take a picture of your sticker and tweet it.

THIS IS THE TRUTH .. IF YOU ARE AN AMERICAN THEN WATCH . PARTY DOESN'T MATTER..

NOPE! WRONG! MORE FAKE NEWS LIES! It's Pelosi & Schumer!

Dude on the left took a bong rip. Forgot he was on CNN..

Clearly CNN didn’t hear what the president said.

Can confirm if even $1.00 allocated and appropriated by Congress has been withheld from the USPS? And for the recited, CONGRESS funds to he USPS, and everything else, NOT POTUS. WTAF are you trying to sell to the American electorate?

POTUS needs to realize it is not just the votes he is affecting but it's also medications that keep people alive. He will be responsible if people can't get their medications & vital assistance because he wants to slow the mail for political gain. That is murder IMP. ChrisCuomo

Fine, I'll vote in person.

donlemon “The only thing... to understand what I mean.. is projection, projection, projection! Just follow my projection of hatred and anger onto others to reveal who I am.” Having to endure personality disorders in our daily lives is just the worst!

Arrest the big fat orange turd! SaveThePostOffice

He just said he’d agree to funding it in negotiations. The Postal Service has also been burning money for years. Acting like it’s all of the sudden suffering because of Donald Trump is such a load of BS.

Why are all the states NOW deciding to do 'All Mail In' voting? They are the problem! Let people vote as the always did or request an Absentee Ballot! States pouring in all this extra mail is bound to break down system! I want to know who my pres is on 11/4 not years later!

Its 25 billion in debt!!!!

If he isn’t above the law I can’t fucking tell at this point. No jail, no impeach, no nothing! You will wait until he wins the election and then go after him really hard, and then we’re gonna look like dam fools

Isnt this something he can. Be charged with

Dems are licking their chops at the thought of cheating with the mail ins.

Where's the cannon hinnants coverage?

Trump Admits He’s Rigging The Election

Proof, even AG's can be idiots. Good reason not to vote Harris/ Biden

The guy on the left wearing make up and the kid to the right is clueless. The pedophile in the middle makes these 3 so not credible.

Demand voter id so he cant cheat.

So it only suppresses votes against Trump?

Missing ballots that are never counted is voter suppression. You’re supposedly a news network. Do some homework. Learn something.

Na verdade, Zema é preposto do Aécio. A equipe e os métodos cruéis e sociopatas são os mesmos.

Democrats are like sheep. Say VoterFraud and they scream suppression. Sad little people. DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica Trump2020 VoterFraud

First

Why CNN is so much active on Twitter, as far as US elections are concerned ?

While you are on the way to Applebee’s stop by the voting location and vote.

Trump is carting away post boxes all over the country, democracy and the beating heart of the republic is being ripped up, right this very moment. Donald fucking Trump was allowed to break The United States of America, on our tombstones it will say 'But He was much dumber'

U R A Deceiver Prov. 14 Whoever fears the Lord walks uprightly those who despise him are devious in their ways Honest witness do not deceive false witness pours out lies The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, the folly of fools is deception.

No shit they won't be able to deliver ballots on time USPS sucks always late always putting others mail in others mailboxes

It really is

As if Trump is going to listen. What planet is he living on?

Wait, what? Wasn’t it just days ago that the President did not have the power of the purse? Something about executive orders designed to help all Americans.

But firstly it’s needed to investigate why Postal Offices removed the biggest counting machines away ?

Why the hell are they still being nice? He is a dictator taking control in broad daylight!

It’s called, go to the polls,

Biden has no chance against Trump lol. Dude is borderline senile.
