We're seeing reports that the U.S. Postal Service is removing mail sorting machines around the country, presumably in an attempt to further slow down mail before the election. This is voter suppression. Plain and simple. The USPS will be essential to safe and accessible vote-by-mail this fall. That's why we're fighting to secure federal funding to address the now eight major ways politicians are compromising the Postal Service.

When it comes to ways to undermine the Postal Service, eight is way more than enough.-- Saumya ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: AOTL Vote-By-Mail [Update] Date: Thr, Aug 13, 2020 Subject: 7 plots to undermine the Postal Service Friend -- The Trump administration and Mitch McConnell's Senate majority are determined to suppress the vote this year because it's the first step to controlling the redistricting process in 2021. This explains why they've launched an onslaught of attacks against the Postal Service. It's a strategy to prevent certain votes from counting this fall. Here are seven attempts and ongoing schemes to undermine the Postal Service: In April, President Trump called the USPS "a joke" and parroted unsubstantiated claims against the essential service to undermine its role in this year's consequential election -- just days after the USPS released a statement saying it was "imperative" that Congress and the administration take action to provide financial support. In May, the House passed the HEROES Act with $25 million in funding for the USPS -- yet three months later, Mitch McConnell's Senate has refused to pass this essential funding. In June, Trump mega-donor Louis Dejoy officially assumed the role of postmaster general. In July, Postmaster Dejoy supported President Trump's efforts to undermine the Postal Service by implementing new rules and procedures that intentionally slowed down mail services ahead of the big election this fall. In August, Postmaster General Dejoy announced plans to reassign more than 20 top-level USPS employees -- a move that the Washington Post says "de-emphasizes decades of institutional postal knowledge" and "centralizes power" around Trump appointee Dejoy. This week, Dejoy floated the idea of tripling the cost of sending mail-in ballots to voters. Senator Elizabeth Warren described this as an attempt to "sabotage the USPS" before the election. Yesterday, President Trump doubled down on his commitment to block funding for the USPS, explicitly citing how funding delays would prevent comprehensive vote-by-mail. Here at All On The Line, we know protecting the vote this year will allow folks to put fair-minded leaders in charge of redistricting next year.
