A question some prosecutor might one day want to ask Louis DeJoy: was he aware that Donald Trump's campaign plan was to demolish Republican trust in absentee ballots, drive them to vote on Election Day and then declare absentees "illegal votes" when he undermined the @USPS.

@JoyAnnReid
Because if DeJoy was aware that that was the plan when he started removing mailboxes and sorting equipment, thereby delaying the mail -- and then refused a court order to deliver ballots on time -- wouldn't that be a deliberate attempt to interfere in a federal election?

seems increasingly obvious that installing DeJoy just in time to oversee very deliberate and targeted dismantling and slowdown of mail almost certainly involved both Trump officials and secretive campaign operatives perhaps including Karl Rove.

This week when there was some hope by Trumpers that he would get NH after multiple campaign trips there, I recalled that during the DeJoy hearings a Senator from New Hampshire said that the central sorting facility there had only 2 sorting machines of which one was removed and dismantled and scrapped leaving one that malfunctioned so they had no sorter for days while being repaired. South Florida, central NC and other crucial swing areas had ballot delays according to news about Judge Sullivan's case.

Seems that the USPS scheme and the Giuliani/Russian disinformation smears involving Senate and DOJ were their two main election efforts.

He has put DeJoy's fingerprints all over the operation.

Trump told you there would be fake ballots, that mail wasn't secure. He knew. He was fixing it. Just like 2016?

It is not time to allow this to be sweep under the rug in the name of moving on. The Republicans have not only taken deliberate unlawful actions to suppress the vote, but have incited their constituency to virtually riot if they lose a lawful election. The Republicans have turning into nothing more than low class ignoramuses and terrorists.

Now it needs to be proven in court. It's unbelievable that people wanted to join team
trump when just a cursory investigation would reveal his criminality. I hope DeJoy ends up
in jail with the entire trump crew.

It is a devious plan. They knew the Democrats for the most part we’re going to start voting by mail. Part one of the plan was to undermine the Postal Service so that the Democratic vote would be lessened. On the other hand, they minimize the risk of Covid, holding rallies, not wearing masks, so that Republicans would not be afraid of Covid and would go to the polls en masse to vote. They sacrificed lives for the lie in order to win the election.

What’s so beautiful however is that it didn’t work — WE THE FUCKING PEOPLE thwarted their criminal attack! A great day for democracy. Now let’s fix this and get things back to normal where we can really kick ass.
