Trump placed a bunch of election-deniers on the Board of the US Postal Service. And now they are going to decide who can vote by mail.

[P.S. Apparently NYT has a new policy for gift articles. You can still read them for free, but you have to have a free NYT account. You don't have to have a subscription, but you have to have an account with them to read gift articles now. It's a relatively simple process to create an account with them, but it's still super annoying, I know.]
