Can someone explain to me what the electoral college does? And why does it matter if we vote or not when the EC decides the states vote?
Munchman347
The USPS makes BILLIONS every year, but the Senate confiscates the profits and puts them on a meager budget. 'See, they ain't profitable!'
ChalkCoatedDonut
So it begins, any backup plans for you all vote.org people? Get ready your traveling gear, they'll be messing with the mail from now.
Justaguy85
What can we do about it
realargonwolf
Destroying an entire country just to stoke his ego and live out his power fantasy. Evil doesn't get much purer.
Degarafarat
Slowing down the mail is only going to happen in the blue states, not the red states.
a1s2de
Trump and the republicans are trying to high jack the election
espressopatronum182
Use the ballot drop boxes.
ArcaneConjecture
Don't believe this! It's from the Liberal Media! It's those wealth-hating commies over at that red rag called "Fortune Magazine".
Ana5ta51a
I wonder what would be going on if Obama had done all this.
slinkydust
Riots with police support
DrSchlepenstein
Nixon is rolling over in his grave right now watching the shit that Trump is getting away with.
a1s2de
Does anybody remember when the USA used to send observers to "fledgling democracies" to make sure they conducted their votes fairly?
IAlwaysUpvoteBirdies
I feel like this election is going to be rigged to hell.
Awmph
tf?
gurlsnuggler
Demand impeachment and removal.
FaustsAccountant
That was already result: ‘shhhh shhhh, it’s okay, he learned his lesson.’ Then when his got worse, the same period is silent.
WillYouSpeakOutWillYouDefendMe
I hope someone goes postal on him.
G0MeatCube
Trumps gotta go, the fuck he doing good??
HieronymousFlex
A postmaster general with stock in UPS is sabotaging the postal service? Color me shocked.
NarwhalNarwhalSwimmingInTheOcean
mail in ballots so they can be collected in a box and buried on a ranch in Texas. worked once before.
sunyudai
Yep.
ImperatorAurelian
Trump wants to postpone the election because he doesn't want an election in the first place. He just wants to rule for life.
NuclearGradeIrony
I seem to remember you guys assassinate presidents from time to time? Or is that just for the good ones?
killbillsexwife
He’s fucking your election 10 ways from Sunday
DocTanner
Try to rig it enough different ways, one of them is bound to work.
Gosuamakenatek
Shows how much confidence he has in his chances of winning.
BeefyByDesign
It's like watching season 2 of Jack Ryan.
JumalautaPerkele
Good or bad?
BeefyByDesign
I mean it wasn't THAT bad. Wouldn't pay for it. But my reference is to the current president corrupting the voting process like in TV show.
archwaykitten
Season 1 was okay, season 2 was terrible, and of course real life should not be reminding us of corrupt politician spy thrillers.
Grimvarr
I'm really curious what more it will take before there is an actual revolution/civil war in the states.
slinkydust
I think no matter the results of the election it will happen
Scaramucci
Americans can't trust their elections won't be tampered with by the orange fascist-in-chief and his toadies.
NepLeet
We need election monitors from dozens of countries to come here!
Imakethingsweird
Just remember to vote for Hitler on list 3, the lesser of two evils.
Dagordae
I can trust they will be. The track record is really hard to ignore.
thedaisysmuggler
I’m keeping this for future arguments and debates
Zange0
I thought that said toddlers, and it still worked.
VagrantDust
But that shouldn't matter if the ballot is stamped before election date, right?
notthatkaren
Let's ask Al Gore is that would matter.
TheRiddlerIsBetterLookingThanYou
You’re assuming ppl will even receive their ballots in the first place.
FaustsAccountant
And the ballots will make it back to the counters. Or be counted.
ElChupaNuggra
All he needs is enough of a delay on actual numbers to create the 'illusion' that it's close enough for the Electoral College to give 1/?
ElChupaNuggra
him the win, the smaller the numbers out of 'problem' areas when the initial counts are being done, the actual numbers AFTER won't 2/?
ElChupaNuggra
matter as the Electoral College has made it's call based on the 'educated' numbers given. They'll just state that the future numbers 3/?
ElChupaNuggra
are not estimated to be significant difference from current 'trends' to suggest a different outcome. 4/4
topshelfassistant
yea, we at the post office are not happy about this, hes already slowing mail
barbarian818
PLEASE make a post about this?
Angrar
Well anything thats taxpayer funded that doesnt involve inflincting violence on nonwhites is communism, so we can't let it be successful
OfficialHotDog
USPS isn't taxpayer funded
topshelfassistant
Right now usps is funded through the purchasing of postage alone, we get zero from taxpayer money
sardonislamir
How is he slowing mail?
AnniCannibal
.
electrajet
My post office has had staff cuts and changes. They're holding mail for pickup because they have one carrier for two routes.
topshelfassistant
He's enacting processes, like if mail extends the time to complete a carriers route, the mail stays at the station, and it just snowballs
Zange0
From the article: They're eliminating overtime and a W era restriction makes it extremely difficulty to hire new employees.
CptRobotNinja
He fired all the postal gnomes that sort the packages with magic
SilentObserver01
No overtime.
munchmunchmunch
How is he slowing mail? I don’t get it.
keebee25
No overtime. The USPS is currently running ~mostly~ on overtime due to Covid-19.
icesahk
Once we lose overtime we are screwed at my office.
Xionis
My facility has been on constant overtime since mid June. If it gets cut, we will never catch up before 2021, if then.
icesahk
Same boat here. We are all working 12 hours days just to stay afloat right now. If we lose the ability to have that OT, idk what we will do
munchmunchmunch
I am not questioning the amount of stress everyone is under but why does covid add to USPS being busy? I am sincerely curious.
OfficialHotDog
People are ordering more stuff online, when postal employees get covid the people they work closely with are furloughed
OfficialHotDog
Leaving fewer people to all the work.
whatfreshhellisthis
To be clear, I have no doubt he is but I just don't know what he is doing specifically. What processes of yours have changed? If you can say
keebee25
He's stated no overtime and if things don't get done that day then they will just... not get done. He didn't clarify if it will ship nxt day
whatfreshhellisthis
Well shit
topshelfassistant
So priority mail would should be a 2 to 3 day service, is seeing 6 days as a normal, or longer
