BREAKING: Postmaster General Louis DeJoy displaces the two top executives overseeing day-to-day operations, and reassigns 23 more postal executives, centralizing power around himself as delays grow at USPS ahead of mostly vote-by-mail election.

plus theyre rescinding the state bulk rate for mail in ballots and upping the amount to the normal postage charge.

"Postal Service has informed states that they’ll need to pay first-class 55-cent postage to mail ballots to voters, rather than the normal 20-cent bulk rate. That nearly triples the per-ballot cost at a time when tens of millions more will be delivered."

the fact that republicans are so blatant with voter suppression now...and their voters have no problem still supporting them...and the media still acts like the republican party is a legitimately empowered moderate center right political party while dems are lurking too left/extreme...and some people on the left think both parties (or trump and biden) are the same duopolic evil...iont even know anymore fam...

dems sent a strongly worded letter 2 days ago tho. that should do it.
