Postal service warns nearly every state it may not be able to deliver ballots in time

Postal service warning states it may not be able to deliver ballots in time based on current election rules - CNNPolitics

The outrageous attack on our elections by Trump and his cult continues unabated:

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.

The letters varied based on state rules, with a few states deemed to having sufficient time built in, according to the postal service assessment. Only Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon and Rhode Island were informed by USPS that they shouldn't expect problems, according to the letters.

But in total, the letters portray a last-minute warning some votes could be at risk, leaving some states scrambling to consider whether they have the ability to even adjust rules in time for the election.

Coming straight from the trump Minion running the USPS. Umm many States, such as mine have very restrictive rules on who can use a mail-in ballot meaning this is nonsense. Oh as for other States, if this is such an issue then Why is the USPS removing ballot drop boxes???? Take a Wild guess.:shock:

This is a 21st Century Jim Crow voter suppression technique by the GOP/QAnon. It certainly goes well with racist gerrymandering.

Barr and MqQonnell will challenge these mail-in ballots all the way to the USSC.

Then change the state rules or wear your magic mask to the polling place instead of starbucks on election day.

Why did RepubliQans in Wisconsin choose to kill and infect voters in black areas with COVID-19?

Or maybe the President shouldn't be purposefully interfering with the election to his benefit? Maybe? Possibly?

lol

Let's work together as a country. Join your fellow citizens in supporting free and fair elections. Support the ability of people to vote via mail during a global pandemic. Let's adequately fund the USPS. Let's address the legitimate concerns Republicans have. We can do this.

He isn't. You will have 4 more years to try to impeach him again if this is the best democrats can come up with. Protesting Trump means nothing when nobody is promoting Biden. His campaign is already done and he hasn't had his fake convention yet.

He is, only dishonest arguments would say he isn't. He's so very clearly trying to interfere. Polling locations are closing down, the rug is being pulled out from underneath the USPS, sorting machines are being shut off, Trump sues states for trying to install secure drop boxes.

This is clearly Trump trying to monkey with the election. Some people are OK with that, well fascists are OK with that. But it's not democracy. Only those who hate America endorse Trump's actions at this point.

Yawn Yawn Yawn. The democrats are upset they may not be able to trawl the projects at the last minute this year and drag people to the polls in the places their data tells them they need more votes. Biden has lost. You have lost. 4. More. Years.

That is what you get when you nominate a man nobody likes and he picks a running mate who only got 2% support on her own. This is truly the worst pair of nominees the DNC have dredged up from the pond scum in modern history.

Nobody likes Trump either, but I had nothing to do with Biden's nomination as I am not a Democrat.

What I am is someone concerned for the future of the Republic and your "yawn yawn yawn" just means that you don't care about abuse or corruption so long as it is your side being abusive and corrupt.

Dismissed.

The USPS can barely deliver junk mail properly.

I still get garbage addressed to people that lived here years ago plus the neighbors mail.

I wouldn't send anything important through anyone but UPS or FedEx.

And consider this: When was the last time you met anyone that was happy working for the USPS? :lol:

The Green Party isn't winning even with my support. Sure you aren't a democrat. You are a "libertarian" who carries water for the most authoritarian party in the country :lol: The republic will be fine and you can bellyache conspiracy theories until you turn blue in the face, but you aren't even going to have your fake impeachment hearings this time around. Enthusiasm will be so low, the dems will lose the House.
