    Mail in voting, which has been LEGAL for many years, is now being vehemently opposed by Dirty Donald, despite the fact HE DOES IT HIMSELF. He is now admitting to underfunding the USPS in an attempt to curtail more states opting for Mail In voting. He would prefer to endanger the lives and health of his fellow Americans by forcing them to vote en-masse in person standing in long lines to vote on a single voting day. He in other words is TRYING TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF AMERICANS VOTING. Isn't that a violation of his oath of office???

    In other words????? You mean in your words.

    In just about every state, voters have a choice. They can vote in person or vote by mail. If at all possible, I will vote in person. There will be a lot fewer people and likely more social distancing during early voting than at Walmart.

    It is being WIDELY reported, including CBS NEWS and on MSN Main Page News. People posting links to many news sources today cannot be accessed because those news sources want payment to access their news.

    Is there anything preventing you from voting in person or voting by mail?

    YES The threat that the USPS, which for decades has been up to the task of handling vote by mail, may now not be able to because Dirty Donald is admitting under funding it!!!

    Actually he admitted that he doesn't want to fund them because of possible mail in voter fraud. No where have I seen where its been proven that he HASN'T funded them. Oh wait...yeah...that's Congress's Job. Specifically the House's.

    Are you claiming that the USPS cannot handle four extra pieces of mail per household during the month when mail in voting will take place? We average more than that every day. The mail in votes are insignificant compared to the rest of the mail.

    Or just maybe the states that do have mail in voting have been doing it for years. You can't possibly expect an entire country to be prepared for 200 million votes in 90 days.

    But 35 states have decided to allow anyone to do mail in voting. I encourage you to do so. Then when you find out that 20-30% of your votes never made it to polling stations from the use of ballot harvesters, USPS failures, bad addresses, and arrivals of ballots that don't qualify for counting because they weren't filled out or signed properly, you will have something to blame Bidens loss on as about 76% of Republicans will be voting at polling stations and the balance will use absentee ballots they have used for years.

    Nobody is stopping you from mail in voting. Help yourself.

    He is opposed to nation wide mail in voting in just 90 days. Not gonna happen. There isn't any amount of money you could throw at it to make it work in that time frame. But feel free to mail in your ballot. Everyone is counting on it.

    United States Postal Service workers say mail sorting machines are being taken apart and removed from distribution facilities across the US, raising concerns about their capacity to handle a surge in mail-in ballots in the upcoming general election.

    At least 19 mail-sorting machines, which can process up to 35,000 pieces of mail per hour, have been removed without any explanation given, postal workers told Motherboard. The USPS did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment.

    Kimberly Karol, president of the Iowa Postal Workers Union, confirmed that machines were being removed, voicing concerns in an interview with NPR that DeJoy's policies were "now affecting the way that we do business and not allowing us to deliver every piece every day."

    Trump does not fund USPS congress and it's customers do. And no this is not what we've been doing for the 70 years

    Are you aware that our states are all experiencing difficulty in getting applicants for the paid poling positions for our November election. Traditionally these jobs have been filled by mostly senior citizen women, who are reluctant to take the jobs now because of the Covid danger.

    You need a new source.
    "Mail-in voting amid the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to cause a surge in mail volume ahead of the 2020 election. Trump has explicitly said that he wants to withhold funding from the post office to sabotage mail-in voting." Really, Trump said he wanted to sabotage mail-in voting?

    Trump has appointed some large campaign contributor with ZERO postal service experience to head the USPS. Another example of how Dirty Donald drains the swamp???

    There is additional funding in the Bill which passed out of congress and has sat languishing at the senate desk of Mitch the Rich Bitch McConnell.

    Your source said that Trump explicitly said "he wants to withhold funding from the post office to sabotage mail-in voting.". Really? I would like to hear his exact quote.
