1/ The stories about Post Office delay are nothing other than rank voter suppression. If people lose confidence in the PO’s ability to get their mail in/absentee ballots to them in a timely fashion, they won’t vote by mail. That’s the safest way to vote during a pandemic. https://twitter.com/stengel/status/1293152105402961920

2/ So, if you’re sitting at home worried that your post office won’t get your ballot to you on time or won’t get your ballot back to be counted, you’re probably on the fence about signing up for a mail in ballot, right? You’ll delay the decision and think about voting in person.

3/ By installing a top fundraiser at the PO to do this damage, Trump is actively engaged in voter suppression, something no president should do, but of course, 3 1/2 years in, we know how Trump works. & Trump is hoping you’ll just stay home in November as the Covid ticks up.

4/ What do we do? Stay on this issue. Public pressure works. Learn your state rules-how do you vote in person if your ballot doesn’t come in the mail. Or get a ballot now & drop off early at your registrar or where local law provides. Plan for safe in person voting if you must.

5/ Voting is a right, not a privilege. Trump wants to take your right away because he can’t win if everyone votes. By damaging the PO Trump is trying to force you to choose between voting & your health, so let’s see this for what it is & make plans in advance so we can all vote.

One of the best reasons to vote is because Trump doesn’t want you to.
