US Election : Judge ‘Shocked’ at Postal Service

Well this is an interesting twist. Recently appointed republican party fundraiser and US postmaster general Louis Dejoy is in the spotlight :


"Postmaster General Louis DeJoy may have to testify under oath about his agency’s failure to follow court orders to avoid delivery disruptions for mail-in ballots during the election.

U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan in Washington said at a hearing Wednesday that he was “shocked” at the behavior, including not completing a mandatory sweep of mail-processing facilities to look for undelivered ballots by 3 p.m. on Election Day."

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...about-failures

"Voting and postal experts say the mail agency should be able to process 97 percent of incoming ballots — or completed ballots sent to election officials. But data shows the Postal Service missed that mark seven out of eight days. And in the five days ending Monday, processing scores dropped, from 97.1 percent to 89.6 percent on Monday. . (The Postal Service did not report Sunday data.)"

Long before the election, DeJoy was doing his best to disrupt USPS:

Trump wants to delay the presidential election!

On Wednesday, Mr Trump told reporters he refused to sign off on $25bn (£19bn) in emergency funding for the Postal Service or $3.5bn for election security due to the high price tag.

Mr Trump has repeatedly condemned mail-in voting as an opportunity for fraud and election interference.

Democrats denounced Mr Trump's comment, saying his position is an attempt to prevent Americans from voting him out.

A record number of people are expected to vote by mail due to the pandemic.

Despite Mr Trump's claims, there is little evidence that mail-in voting - which the US military uses - is rife with fraud or that it favours one political party more than another.

The US postal system is currently experiencing a slowdown in mail deliveries, which critics say is due to policies put in place by Mr Trump's selection to run the service.

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who donated millions to Mr Trump's campaign and to other Republicans, has been accused of deliberately undermining public confidence in the service to deter people from mail-in voting.

Mr DeJoy is the first postmaster general in 20 years to not be appointed from within the agency's own ranks.
Who needs Russians to meddle with the election when Trump dis-empowers swathes of the electorate .....
Surely, "interfering" with USPS is a federal offence .....

This is the level of voter fraud that we associate with dictatorships. If this was in Zimbabwe the world would be up in arms.

Luckily, the left never think things through properly and quite rightly, the democrats are getting found out. It won't be long before they are blaming each other and fessing up to their fraud.

This was not about illegal votes but disenfranchisement of parts of the population.

It's about election fraud. USPS didn't sweep all the mail processing stations like they were supposed to. How many Trump ballots were left behind ?

I wonder ....

You might want to read the beginning of your Bloomberg article again, Annie.

Election fraud is a broad term. The point is that it's not a fair election if all voters are not able to participate whichever way they vote. So if the post service have not fulfilled orders then late votes should be counted (whichever way they voted)

But why would biden voters in particular commit fraud when that accusation was levelled at them way before the election?

Because they've been trying their darndest every which way to slander, denounce and expunge ever since the day Trump won last time around.
And we know what sheep some people can be.
That's why.

Why would biden voters commit fraud knowing that there would be fingers pointed right at them by trump? He made it clear he expected fraud all along. Why would biden voters walk into such a trap? Makes no sense given they knew the result would be scrutinised.
