Postmaster general says USPS won't deliver mail ballots if states don't give Trump admin voter rolls

[hookaleft]

Postmaster General David Steiner told senators that, under a new proposed rule, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) will not deliver mail ballots unless states hand over their voter lists to the Trump administration.

“Under our proposed regulation, no,” Steiner said during a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing Wednesday after being asked whether USPS would refuse to deliver election mail if states refuse to divulge their voter lists.

“We would tell the state that we need the manifest,” Steiner added.

1. A nation class action lawsuit against the post office should happen, also, federal judges should weigh in as holding

back mail, not delivering mail for political reasons goes against everything USPS is supposed to stand for.

3. Trump's order is currently being challenged in federal courts,

2. This will face immediate congressional, judicial, and statutory constraints.

USPS does not have authority to selectively refuse delivery of lawful mail (including ballots) based on whether a state provides voter registration data or voter rolls.

4. True. That order won't hold up.

5. Just more proof that Trumpedo's sycophants are continually violating the law.

Time to give a whatfor to these criminals.

6. Even if president man-child doesn't get his

way, the USPS takes a hit. Don’t you love people running a government department while trying to destroy it?

7. What good is a postal service that won't deliver the mail?

I was surprised recently when my package from Walmart, which always arrives by USPS, was delivered 3 hours after order entry by Walmart local delivery. So a $12 delivery was routed to their own local couriers. The handwriting is on the wall. People and businesses will find alternatives.

8. How the hell do Republicans get away with this

First, DeJoy and now this criminal. Meanwhile Dems have to play by the rules and keep these idiots in their roles when we have power.

I know the answer but this is more to vent.

9. Another tough talking little man 🤣😂

But it ain’t going to happen. The courts will have the last word.
