@ProPublica Seems Trump and USPS Postmaster General want to create situation where the USPS doesn't deliver ballots to voters unless states provide the USPS with their complete voter registration database the DOJ has been seeking and losing every court case (~25 Cases to date). Trump wants to create chaos he can declare national emergency, except elections will still be controlled by Congress (dates) and states ((voters and voting), not Trump. If he can't win, he'll make matters very ugly.
@ProPublica Too bad Congress isn't concerned about the USPS actually doing their job (which is DELIVERING the mail).
@ProPublica Even if this doesn't prevent anyone from voting by mail, or having their ballot counted legitimately, that's not its ultimate goal.
Trump wants to inject enough uncertainty in the mid-terms to have a basis to claim the Ds were not elected legitimately and thus block seating them at all on Jan 3rd.
We need to be 100% prepared for this and have boots on the ground at the Capital to protest this en masse. And if we're wrong, we can celebrate instead. 😡
@ProPublica Of course, the clusterfuck can help the GOP win. On the other hand, if they lose, they can claim election tampering due to missing ballots. A win, win for the fascists.
@ProPublica
Avoid Trump mail drama...
VOTE EARLY AND IN PERSON.
@ProPublica The locals won't enforce it.
