More on the changes by the "management" of the US Postal Service.

I am waiting for Kid's stellar defense of it and Ward's ignoring it, while attacking Biden for failing to put a stamp on an envelope, once.

I doubt this will survive an appeal to the entire panel, but the Bush and Trump judges won this 2-1 decision.

Even well-intentioned laws must pass constitutional muster,”

Gee, no shit?

Dr. Anthony Fauci dismissed concerns about conducting the upcoming election in the era of the Chinese coronavirus — and in-person voting, particularly — stating in an interview on Thursday that there is “no reason why we shouldn’t be able to vote, in person or otherwise.”

Joe Biden says if he is elected he will retain Dr. Fauci as part of his administration.

Joe Biden, after all, is a leader, according to Kamala Harris .

Forgive my ignorance...

If you vote by mail but then also show at the polling place - who catches this?

Board of Elections.

Your registration record will show the two votes and you will need a lawyer.

I voted by mail for the first time in my life about a month ago in the NJ primary, mostly as a test run to see what to expect in November, as that seemed the way I would be voting post Trumpdemic.

The safeguards as I recall were two-fold, there is a barcode that IDed the ballot, and a signature required for matching with the sig on file. I assume once that barcode is scanned, much like a ticket purchaesd on Stub Hub any other ticket (ballot) is then null and void, and in the case of an election, red-flagged for further investigation.

But, in NJ - you go to vote - in a booth - after signing a book.

If you had already sent an absentee......

what happens when you show up?

Why would you show up in the first place? But if you did and your mailed ballot had not been processed then you would cast your vote and then have to explain why you tried to vote twice.

your duplicate vote will be detected, deleted, and you'll have some splaining to do.

Why would you want to get fined or go to jail for voting twice?

You wouldn't, which is why voter fraud of this sort never heppens.

The real fraud are Republicans, who don't give a shit about voter suppression, and are ok with denying certain people the ability to vote, and are standing mute as Trump threatens to contaminate our election

Fucking frauds-but their game is up.

Most decent Americans see through their bullshit.

kid feels more secure in having the Trump admin fire postal employees, trash mail sorting equipment, denying OT, and fucking up the USPS, to slow service and increase doubts about the ability of the USPS to perform its duty of delivering mail, including ballots, bills, prescription drugs, porn in brown paper rappers, coupons and all sorts of shit, rather than letting voters vote by mail, which has been done reliably for years.

its just another Trump scam.

Trump's guy cuts post office hours, eliminates mail sorting machines, and reduces the number of mail boxes and, as ever, your response is "let it play out."

I may be ignorant of somethings, Kid, but I know an asshole who does not have America's best interests at heart when I hear and/or read one.
