Subject: postal service warns it will not deliver mail-in ballots on time
Trump won OH by 8. Ohio was an unprecedented 10.2% more Republican than the national average in 2016, the farthest it had voted from the rest of the nation since 1932.
Today, 538 has Biden up 0.6.

The Trump camp gave up on MI. They left. Pa is strongly leaning Biden, as is FL. TX is a dead heat. Ohio will probably go Trump but it's a lot more competitive than they'd like.

Yeah, well, the Republican Senator from Montana (who, by the way, is up for reelection) doesn't think this is "routine" or normal.
I see nothing in his inquiry having anything to do with the election. It also may be that he has received correspondence from his constituents that he felt it appropriate to make an inquiry. He could just be trying to look good to his constituents and local voters. Again, I don't see the broader conspiracy you're peddling.
Considering Trump's attacks on the USPS, on voting by mail, and all of these moves by a Trump donor that mail carriers and postal workers don't understand, you're not AT ALL suspicious? Really? -NP
First, the USPS has had problems for years, if not decades. They existed under Obama, but he didn't do much to fix them.
Second, mass voting by mail hasn't been done before. Now is not the time to experiment with it, unless you want a giant mess as demonstrated by recent state efforts.]
Third, a Trump donor getting the job isn't unusual, as a PP explained (even Joe Biden will be appointing donors).
Seems to me that Trump has a legitimate concern that the Democrats are pushing vote by mail to create a massive controversy like the 2000 presidential election. Btw, there is significant potential for voter fraud because unlike the voting booth, ballots mailed in are subject to all sorts of pressure from family and friends (or heaven forbid, a single family member filling out the mail in ballot, sealing up the envelope, and asking Grandma to just sign the outside.
Since Democrats are so hot on pandemic preparation, why aren't they pushing really hard to have safe, in-person voting? Seems to me that would be the better course of action.
How can we plan for safe voting if we can't even open schools?
Talk to the teachers unions who refused to show up to work. And the democratic school officials who want to keep schools closed, even though Trump offered them $105 billion to upgrade their HVAC systems, buy PPE, etc... Instead of accepting the money to open schools, folks like Nancy Pelosi preferred to hold hostage unemployment payments and other things that would help average Americans to get a $3.4 trillion bailout for state and local budgets.
I'm just one person. Why should I have to talk to the teachers unions? Can't our elected officials handle this? It's their job.
By the way, I live in Alabama. Governor- Republican. State Legislature- Republican.Teachers union- Republican. School officials- Republican. Superintendent- Republican and cites Jesus in his emails. In my school district, the schools were closed by Republicans. So when you try to blame Democrats, I just immediately discount everything you say as nonsense.
By the way, where I live (virtual) school started this week. So when Trump offered money for the schools to start TWO WEEKS AGO, everyone just ignored him. People need to make plans in order to be successful. Trump's interesting in reopening schools starting TWO WEEKS AGO, was foolish because plans take time to implement. Why did he work on this in March? Or April? Or May? Or June? His "efforts" were too little too late.

You can tell who the foreign trolls are by their complete cluelessness regarding the importance of voting in a representative democracy.

Um, installing donors as appointees has gone on for centuries. Even Biden plans to do it:

Stupid trumpster. An ambassador is not the same thing as the head of a department. Don’t you know that?
Fine, Obama appointed donors across his administration.
https://www.politico.com/story/2011/06/obama-donors-net-government-jobs-056993
I guess the folks who just donated $26M expect nothing in return from Biden/Harris, right?
Obama had smarter, better equipped donors.
Okay, so now it's fine to appoint donors. Glad we cleared that up.

Dems are all for having polling stations at which people can vote safely and quickly.
It is the Republicans who close them.

Why would Dems want massive controversy while Barr is the country's top cop??? They just want people to be able to vote.
They also want people who depend on the mail for medicine, checks, and small business function to get what they need.
