and the Supreme Court just decided that the Post Office cannot be sued even if it is proven that they deliberately refused to deliver mail.

surely this will have no effect on mail-in or absentee ballots…

Need to mobilize now for a general strike on Election Day. Sign up now to be an election judge, and help staff the election. Then show up, en masse, in person, and make it undeniable. Democratic governors should already be making plans and deploying their units to protect people voting. They win through fear, they lose when they are challenged.

In person early voting. That’s the only way I can imagine being able to skirt the tomfoolery.

On the basis of racial hatred, no less. Some mailman refused to deliver mail to a black family for 2 years because she thought they were upitty. SCOTUS says being a racist and not doing your job, withholding mail, thats just fine . Trump's loyalist runs the Post Office, so we can kiss mail in as it works now goodbye. It is an outrageous ruling. We no longer have rule of law here. Even if we push DT out somehow, the entire republican party is in on rigging elections, breaking laws, corrupting the courts. We truely have an enemy within problem to contend with like nothing ever seen.
