there is no way to control, (QA/QC) mail in votes...no way to know that the registered voter is getting the ballot, no way to know if the actual registered voter is the one filling it out, no way to know if the USPS is actually picking them up and getting them to the proper destination, or if they are getting dumped in a dumpster

I get an email when my ballot has been mailed to me and an email when it has been counted. Not worried about your videos.

The American people.

We won't have any election results until 2022!!!
Funny you say that. I remember during the campaign of 2016 there was this brief interview with Trump and he mentioned something about Russia helping Hillary in the elections. When the Russian collusion stuff started to come out I searched for that interview but never found it again. In the back of my brain I was wondering if the election was indeed rigged so that whoever won, the so called deep state would use the Russian collusion on either candidate that won to try and distract and divide the country.

Default Obama: Trump is trying to 'actively kneecap' and 'starve' the postal service

"Class vs. Trash", Obama vs. Trump! That's it in a nutshell!

Quote:
Former President Barack Obama took on President Donald Trump's attempts to stall funding for the United States Postal Service in a podcast published Friday, slamming his successor's opposition to the much-needed funds as a craven attempt to boost his chances of winning in November.

Obama, in a podcast with David Plouffe, his former campaign manager, took on the Trump administration in direct terms, including calling out Vice President Mike Pence by name.

"What we've seen in a way that is unique to modern political history is a President who is explicit in trying to discourage people from voting," Obama said. "What we've never seen before is a President say, 'I'm going to try to actively kneecap the postal service to encourage voting and I will be explicit about the reason I'm doing it.'"

Obama added: "That's sort of unheard of."

Obama is a moron. How is Trump "starving" the USPS? Their revenue comes from the postage charges they collect-has Trump eliminated those charges? Now, the USPS has been a disaster of poor management, irresponsibility and lack of accountability-I hope a businessman can make them run more like a private business-one that manages it's costs, than your typical incompetent, unaccountable government bureaucracy.

Yep. That is it exactly, even Trump supporters know it.

congrats tillman7. You have been classified as a "one line linker" and have been put on the ignore list. I rarely see you actually compose a cogent thought. The majority of your posts consist of a snarky remark and a link to someplace else. I encourage others to ignore "one line linkers" like tillman7. Makes reading these threads much quicker.

Simple-showing up in person makes it harder for someone to vote multiple times. For someone to "steal" votes by walking down the street and taking ballots out of mailboxes. And it makes it harder for for foreign criminals to vote.

Another VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY.

This is sounding more like Russian collusion every day.

!! Pleeze tell me you are not serious! How is shutting down mail-sorting machines in any way designed to do anything except slow down or halt processing the ballots?

Postal Service removes some mail-sorting machines, sparking concerns ahead of election
