    All mail in voting is fraudulent. The Constitution doesn't say you can vote by mail.

    The post master general is a Dirty Donald flunky employee just like Barr. They do their masters bidding.

    No, but he has appointed all SIX of the current Board of Governors who appointed and installed LeJoie along with Mitch the RichBitch McConnell and his right wing senate. The USPS governors are supposed to be 9 not just 6, and they are supposed to be split 5-4 in terms of party affiliation, as originally proposed.

    many prefer to stay safe from the virus, even Trump voted by mail

    in my area, voting is a 30-min ordeal, sadly in many parts of the country it takes hours in a line

    What would I do in his shoes?

    Stop making the problem worse and ask for emergency funding.

    But he was HIRED to screw up the Post Office so that isn't likely

    Hopefully the fact that Trump's scam to cheat the election was exposed, this will be the end of it - wonder what Trump's next failed plan to cheat will be?

    Tell Trump. He does it all the time.

    By the way the Constitution doesn't mandate how elections are held...states do

    I assume you are talking about the insane pension mandate forced on the USPS in 2006.

    Odd that it has to be addressed now...14 years later huh?

    Trump's polling location is nearly a thousand miles away.

    Then vote by mail. Not my choice.

    The latest line of assault is to cut the number of post offices in our country.

    Since his appointment in May 2020 DeJoy, not LeJoie as i miscalled him earlier, has de-installed 671 sorting machines from our nations post offices. And his latest attack will be closing post offices across the nation.

    Nor does it say you can't. It only says it is the domain of the states.

    good the post office has been defaulting on its bills since 2012, and had a 2.2 billion dollar deficit last qtr money needs to be saved cost cut

    the dems unwillingness to do anything suggest they don’t care and want the post office to go under...

    The federal government doesn't fund the post office ergo he hasn't "underfunded" them. The lies you people come up with to distract from your basement hiding nominee would be amusing if they weren't just so sad.

    There are only six and they are all Dirty Donald appointees!! And if he hasn't underfunded them then HE IS A LIAR because he and the GOP senate have not allowed a bill PASSED OUT OF CONGRESS to the senate floor which includes POST OFFICE FUNDING!!

    Hi, since this is your first day on the planet, let me introduce you to the concept of veto. If congress passed funding for the post office, Trump had promised he would veto it.

    But that's just a small part of this attempt to sabotage democracy. 671 mail sorting machines, crucial for peak days, have been taken to the dump. Thousands of mail boxes have been taken off the streets. The 23 guys that would have opposed this were fired. OT pay has been cancelled.

    Even if he doesn't veto funding now, the mail system is half dead.

    But the good news is President Biden will fix it.

    there are only two empty spots, the deputy post master generals, and a public relations officer both appointed by the board. there are dems currently on the board

    The House passer additional funding for the Post office to handle the election , but it was also littered with dem party wish list, such as bailing out dem states that have been mismanaged.

    she refused to negotiate with the senate and nothing was passed. Trump stepped in to help the people and Nancy went to her mansion to eat ice cream until. september

    This has been known for weeks already. The postmaster general who is a trump loyalist, has been in acting policies for the last few months that work to undermine the postal service such as prohibiting overtime for workers, limiting, non-overtime work hours, other things. they are intentionally under Manning and underfunding the postal service, while at the same time claiming that the postal service is not able to keep up with the work, but they are enacting policies that make that happen. they were fully able to keep up with the work before these policies were put in place

    they also claim that the reasons to policies are put in place because they are postal service doesn't have any money, but investigations into the postal service's finances show that they had enough money to pay overtime and pay for full hour work, prior to cuts being made by the Trump administration

    Most states have been doing some mail in voting for years. It's the main way 5 states do it.

    Republicans loved mail in voting, Trump does it.

    It only became a problem when seniors decided they wanted to dump the chump.
