Democrats say Postal Service delays 'far worse than previously acknowledged' | TheHill

House Democrats on the Oversight and Reform Committee released documents Saturday showing that Postal Service delays they say are “far worse than previously acknowledged.”

The assessment from the lawmakers comes a day after Postmaster General Louis DeJoy testified before the Senate Homeland Security Committee, where he apologized for a “dip” in service but assured the panel that the "nation’s election mail" would be delivered "fully and on time.”

Democrats in both chambers of Congress have been been concerned about the operational changes that DeJoy announced earlier this summer that included a shuffling of personnel, a curtailing of over time and a removal of mail-sorting machines, among other things. They say that the changes will cause significant delays, imperiling mail-in voting ahead of the November election.

Mail-in ballots are expected to be one of the primary ways of voting in this election, due to concerns about the coronavirus pandemic.
===============================================================
This is blatant Trump-directed vote suppression.
 
Huge mail-sorting machines have been removed (and destroyed) in the areas circled below - primarily Democrat voting cities and counties.

How anyone can support such blatant interference is beyond me. As far as I am concerned Trump and his supporters are behaving disloyally to our Republic's founding principles and values by not working with Democrats to solve this issue. Every single elected representative, appointed official, and any other government official with any association with this issue who remains silent on this issue should be immediately removed from office.
