This is such fucking bullshit. The people involved here should be arrested the very minute Republicans don't control everything (if that ever happens now).

I had been saying this for so long, since 2020 at least, and even jan 6 wouldn't get the dems to fight for america. I have no hope left after everything that happened.
Only in seizing control of the democratic party, or creating a new populist one, is there any hope. And that's not going to happen because most of the left still trusts the dems and the oligarchic tool suits on tv paid to lie to them. To be clear I don't consider those that support establishment democrats beyone belatedly voting against the other party by choosing them of being left, those are the democratic sheep.
"Yap yap yap Im going to be pissy and advocate for ineffective actions that wont happen and blame it on everyone else."
Alt troll account says what?
Mail in votes made illegal, especially in blue states!
Right before an election, with some states having used vote by mail for a long time. WA, I think maybe CA, CO. Not sure entirely. But changing the rules right before an election is in itself cheating and in violation of scotus precedent. Not that they give a fuck about the republic, not in any good way.
I'm a little unclear on how this whole vote by mail process works, I've always voted in-person because I haven't trusted Republicans to not pull shit like this to fuck with my vote.
But how exactly does the postal service have the ability to do this? They're not the ones tallying the votes, they're just delivering mail. You put something in the box with correct postage and they take it to the address on the envelope. I don't really get where they have the discretion to say "no" to doing that.
And hypothetically, let's say they do refuse to deliver what looks like election mail. What's to stop you from taking your mail-in ballot envelope, stuffing it into another plain, nondescript envelope addressed to wherever your ballot is supposed to go and mailing it that way? I'm pretty sure they're not supposed to be opening up mail to see what's inside.
Genuinely asking and trying to understand.
They want the post office to refuse to deliver ballots to voters in states that refuse to give the voter data up to the federal government.
In the long game they want to disallow voting altogether. Disallow voting that actually matters, they want votes where their guy gets 98 percent like every dictator in existence.
Well I would suspect the destination address would give it away...
You know it has to be safe, Trump votes by mail.
I don't think they will care if they are allowed by the courts. They will do it anyway. If they don't think they will win, they will not allow a free election.
didn't the SCOTUS just rule they AREN'T allowed to do this?
