US Postal Service halts controversial changes amid voting furore

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-53829347

The US Postal Service (USPS) under Trump appointee Postmaster General Louis DeJoy had begun what it said were cost-cutting measures in recent months. Policies that were begun under Mr DeJoy included removing mail boxes, cancelling delivery runs and closing down sorting centres.

DeJoy has suspended new policies that were decried as an attempt to sabotage the 2020 election and said he would reverse operational changes that critics say would hamper postal voting. In a sharp reversal, he has now said that post office hours would not be cut, and post boxes and sorting machines would stop being removed. Mr DeJoy, a Republican donor, also said overtime pay would continue to be approved to ensure deliveries arrive on time.

There is a fierce debate over postal funding in 2020, as record numbers of Americans are expected to vote by mail due to the pandemic and the U-turn comes as Mr DeJoy is due to testify to Congress, while at least 20 states were preparing to sue the USPS administration.

A week ago, Donald Trump said he had no interest in any additional funding for the US Postal Service, lest the money be used to help process mail-in voting. It was all part of his ongoing, and largely unfounded, campaign against the expanded use of postal ballots to minimise the risk of spreading coronavirus. In reality, Trump rejected a funding boost for the USPS to shore up a predicted influx mail-in voting, claiming without evidence that it would lead to voter fraud and help Democrats.


Voting by mail is not new to the US. According to Reuters, approximately one in every four voters cast ballots by mail in 2016. The rate of voting fraud overall (including postal) in the US is between 0.00004% and 0.0009%
That's a punch in the face for Trump .....

I don't feel so strongly about him. The situation is hilarious. People are so easily led with a few key phrases that resonate with their selfish desires. They don't even notice the contradictions and inconsistencies.

His results in his first term are in excess of any other president.

Why do you hate that so much ?

Bidens involvement with Russia and the Ukraine will guarantee a rigged result. That's the only chance, he has of winning.

Biden has already lost ... any win from there has to be fraud. A vote for Dribbly Joe is a vote for civil war.

Thousands of chicks arrive dead to farmers amid USPS turmoil

https://www.kwqc.com/2020/08/20/thou...-usps-turmoil/
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — At least 4,800 chicks shipped to Maine farmers through the U.S. Postal Service have arrived dead in recent weeks after rapid cuts hit the federal mail carrier’s operations, U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree said.

Pingree is raising the issue of the dead chicks and the losses farms are facing in a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and U.S. Department of Agriculture Commissioner Sonny Perdue, The Portland Press Herald reported.

Pauline Henderson, who owns Pine Tree Poultry in New Sharon, Maine, told the newspaper she was shocked last week when all of the 800 chicks sent to her from a hatchery in Pennsylvania were dead.

"Usually they arrive every three weeks like clockwork," she said. "And out of 100 birds you may have one or two that die in shipping."
Thousands of birds that moved through the Postal Service's processing center in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, were also dead, impacting several farms in Maine and New Hampshire, Henderson said.

Pingree said she isn't sure if Perdue is aware of how the changes in the Postal Service are impacting smaller poultry farmers in the U.S.

"This is a system that's always worked before and it's worked very well until these changes started being made," Pingree said.

DeJoy, a Republican donor who's the first postmaster general who did not come from the ranks of the Postal Service, took control of the agency in June and has since swiftly engineered cuts and operational changes that are disrupting mail delivery operations. In Maine, two mail-sorting machines were dismantled at the state's postal distribution hub.

The Postal Service is the only entity that ships live chicks and other small animals and has done so since 1918, according to the service's website.
Trump's order killed those chicks .....
