If this happens, Trump most likely wins.

It could have that serious of an impact.

Postal Service may close offices, cut service ahead of election https://finance.yahoo.com/m/52234d66-d360-339d-89f6-65d1213c2c4d/postal-service-may-close.html

Which of course is why Trump's stooge at the Postal Service is doing this.

1. Yeah that's not true

[soothsayer]

3. Agreed

[New Breed Leader]

5. Actually it is.

That's why Trump is against mail in voting.

[qazplm135]

20. All the evidence shows

that both parties take roughly equal advantage of mail-in voting wherever it is offered and neither party has an advantage.

That Trump wrongly believes it favors Dems doesn't change that fact.

[lostnfound]

30. He can close it or reduce staffing selectively

Big cities only, for example.
Just another tactic like polling locations.

[qazplm135]

33. He can't no

Look I get it, some people just want to look for ways we are going to lose. I'm telling you, first we aren't losing, and second he doesn't have the ability or the competence needed to finesse this in any way that doesn't backfire and collapse on him.

He's a bumbling fool, not a super genius.

[New Breed Leader]

34. He can't but his PM General can

That's why he chose him

[qazplm135]

35. How?

What's the mechanism?

[Thekaspervote]

13. Agree...

It has been reported that dotard’s postmaster gen goon has told postal workers to slow the mail not good, but a lot different than ending postal service.

Plus it was announced today that the treasury has given the USPS a 10 billion dollar loan. It doesn’t come without shitty gop strings...one more thing to fix in Jan 2021

[uponit7771]

16. Yep, it is ... Makes it possible for him to cheat more

[Blue Owl]

2. What kind of country are we if we allow this to happen?

It would be equivalent to knowing the person driving the bus you are riding in is drunk and passed out, and you are heading towards a cliff -- do you let him continue driving?

[uponit7771]

17. One were the Constitution has to be fixed; courts can take thier time ruling

[elleng]

4. Sounds like baloney to me.

[brush]

14. Yep, repugs depend on and use the Post Office too. If he closes it, he loses IMO.

On top of 200,000 deaths and counting, 40 million unemployed and can't get mail service, why would that entice votes for trump?

[elleng]

15. Thanks, brush;

feel better now.

[Progressive Jones]

6. USPS won't be closing just because a bunch of scumbags want it to close. nt

[Thekaspervote]

11. Exactly

[uponit7771]

18. Doesn't have to just slow mail down from urban areas for instance

[lostnfound]

32. I suspect that's the plan. Nt

[lostnfound]

31. Hopelessly optimistic of you!

They put a trump guy in charge. Things are changing.

[Iliyah]

7. Closing offices in POC areas? . .

That would seriously hurt corporations and businesses that send bills and advertisements out. Birthday cards, Christmas cards, letters, and others by people and packages.

The economy will suffer even more.

[spanone]

8. That would be blatantly stealing an election....even reTHUGS might be concerned about that

maybe not

[dweller]

9. my dad was a mail carrier

https://m.

✌🏼

[Demonaut]

28. Tom!!, stolen from us

my Dad was too

[captain queeg]

10. Don't give the ass hole any ideas. But I'd volunteer to play taxi

As I’m sure hundreds of thousands would.

[elleng]

12. Targeted closings possible?

[Blue_true]

19. That is my guess what they will try.

Close them in heavy democratic areas.

They are telegraphing their intent, if we let them win still, then we are fools.

[Hoyt]

21. More conspiracy BS. Order your ballot early, submit it quickly, use a drop box if

possible, and laugh at trump and BS “concern” tweets.

[smirkymonkey]

23. That's what I am doing.

Fuck them. And I am sick of this doom and gloom. We have to fight back against this! It will only happen if we let them.

[Sogo]

25. Amen....In a previous election, I heard Nancy Pelosi say,

when asked about some Republican shenanigan to suppress votes, "Don't agonize....Organize...."

[smirkymonkey]

29. Hear, hear!

[central scrutinizer]

22. I get 20 fundraising emails every day

With some variation of this as the subject line

[Demonaut]

24. I will vote in person

mask and gloved up

[Sogo]

26. Hear, hear!!

[diva77]

27. Dems need to set up some sort of Pony Express to get those Vote By Mail ballots to where they need

to go.
