The controversial changes have effectively slowed down mail service by cutting back office hours, eliminating most overtime and in some cases even taking letter collection boxes off the streets. These photos were taken at a Bronx Post Office facility, although its unclear whether all these mailboxes were removed recently. Democrats are accusing the president of trying to steal the election. Lets not make provisions for people to be able to participate in this democracy without having to run the risk of contracting a disease that could kill them. I never thought that i would live to see the United States of america tolerate a tyrant who seems to just trample upon our constitution. John lewis would be so disappointed that he nearly gave his life to get the vote for people of color and to watch complicity of the republicans in holding on to this kind of shenanigans is just beyond me. This to me i never thought that i would see this country allow this to happen. Even so, the president cont

For it. Listen to this. They want 3. 5 trillion billion dollars for the mailin votes. Universal mailin ballots. They want 25 billion, billion, for the post office. Now they need that in order to have the post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots. If they dont get those two items, that means you cant have universal mailin voting because theyre not equipped to have it. That was the president of the United States explaining that he doesnt want to increase funding for the Postal Service because it would mean that more americans would be able to vote. It is Crystal Clear nearly every state has now reportedly received letters from the Postal Service General Council saying that they will not be able to fulfill mailin ballots before the november 3rd election because, quote, deadlines for requesting and casting mailin ballots are incongruous with the delivery standards.

The president has, in a lot of cases, including today, been pushing some straightup misinformation, some misleading claims about voting. He often conflates issues of Voter Registration in states with fraudulently cast ballots, which are two totally different things. Voter rolls do sometimes need cleaning up, but state officials are regularly checking them. And there have been some concerns from
