The same guy was tweeting about the DNC convention requiring photo ID (to enter the production/technical centre of their ONLINE convention) dementia Don (it rhymes better) forgetting what online means. Fun fact, the state where the convention distributed from was held does require a copy of ID sent with ballots. This does undermine the argument he was trying to make when he tripped and fell.
A judge asked Trump to prove claims about mail-in votes and fraud — it didn’t go well President Donald Trump has been obsessed with the idea that mail-in voting encourages voter fraud, and his campaign has filed lawsuits against Pennsylvania and other states because of their plans to encourage voters to use mail-in ballots in November’s election. Journalist Richard Salame, in The Intercept, reports that in response to the Pennsylvania lawsuit, Trump’s campaign was asked to show proof that voting by mail encourages voter fraud — and it was unable to. The Trump campaign produced a 524-page document in response to Ranjan’s request, and The Intercept obtained a copy. According to Salame, the document “contains a few scant examples of election fraud” — but none of them actually involve mail-in ballots.
So after the entire N.C. District 9 absentee ballot fraud situation involving Leslie McCrae Dowless; the Republicans could not come up with one example of of mail-in ballot fraud? Absolutely absurd -- this is one very obvious example. But wait... it's Republicans. In fact we had multiple threads on ET discussing this particular ballot fraud. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/the-latest-from-the-9th-district-controversy.330003/ https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...ficant-and-perpetrated-by-republicans.327501/ https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...ions-refuses-to-certify-nc-house-race.327533/ https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...tion-in-ncs-9th-district.327863/#post-4773610 https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...e-democratic-party-in-nc.327838/#post-4773253
Trump should have taken you to court . . . . . who knows maybe you would've made a few millions as his lawyer.
Elderly, retirees, veterans, rural areas, holiday mailers and so on. Yeah, its a badly run government office just like many other government offices that are losing money. The USPS is just the more visible than the other losing government offices. Unfortunately, there's a misconception that people develop when they see companies like FedEx, Purolator, UPS and such...they think they can run the post office via a similar like business model... They can't. The problem is the government. It has mandates in place that prevents the USPS from controlling the cost to mail a letter. To be precise, the cost to mail a letter is a political issue and has always been that way. That in itself gave rise to other businesses that can deliver mail more efficiently and faster on the local level of almost every city...forcing the USPS to get involved in other areas its not equip to run well. Things changed bigtime in 2006 when lawmakers imposed new expenses on the USPS because it was "too profitable"...a bad time to do such because the internet was booming big time. People had less of a need for the USPS letter service but lawmakers cemented those expenses in place... Big gigantic mistake. Worst, congress require the USPS to prefund its healthcare of workers. No other business does that except for the USPS. That's why its very suspicious when someone removes mailing boxes and does equipment upgrades during a Pandemic and an just before a Presidential election... Under the facade to make the USPS profitable when the only way to make USPS profitable is to fix those congressional mandates and fix those prefund of the healthcare system within the USPS to make it profitable again. Its an old school Russian political tactic of suppressing votes. Fix the USPS after the elections and after the Pandemic. Yet, don't mess with it when people are dependent the most upon it than ever before. wrbtrader
The post office is quasi private. Most people think it's a public service. It's just subsidized and regulated to the point that no one can break into the market. I'm sure nearly anyone could do better. Are you implying at least one person wanted to have sex with me? D'awww.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...dmin-usps-march-covid-19-postcard/5797364002/ Trump administration has not paid USPS for COVID-19 postcards featuring Trump's name USA TODAY reported earlier this year the total cost of printing and mailing the postcards was $28 million, with a total printing cost of $4.6 million, and the Trump administration was negotiating the reimbursement with the Postal Service for the cost. But the bill for the postcards sent to 138 million residential addresses has still not been paid. “No reimbursements have been made at this time,” said Postal Service spokesperson David Partenheimer.
I'm quite sure the post office can deliver all the ballots in reasonable time as is claimed by the postmaster himself . What they can't ever do is verify the authenticity of the ballots they deliver! Who the hell are the ballots being mailed to? Who the hell is mailing them back? Outside of requested ballots by verified eligeable voters, it invites massive fraud and will lead to massive violence when the results are rightly disputed.
