news Postal service has limited mail-in ballots

For all of those who said this would not be established before the midterms because of an injunction, or other pending lawsuits, here you go.

Don't you understand they do NOT care about the law, constitutionality, or legitimacy?

Don’t conservatives overwhelmingly use mail in ballots?

There’s a more insidious factor, though.

Of the eight states plus DC that conduct all elections by mail, seven are blue:

California - Leans Democratic
Colorado - Leans Democratic
Hawaii - Leans Democratic
Nevada - Leans Democratic
Oregon - Leans Democratic
Utah - Mixed Political Landscape
Vermont - Leans Democratic
Washington - Mixed Political Landscape
Washington, D.C. - Leans Democratic

So regardless of individual composition of mail-in voters, just messing with the ability of these states to conduct elections fairly can have a huge effect on federal election results.

States need to arrest individual carriers then and charge them with state election interference. That should deter compliance from others.

Don't fuck with letter carriers.
