78 days to the Nov. 3 election
“They want $25 billion — billion — for the post office. Now they need that money in order to have the post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots. But if they don’t get those two items, that means you can’t have universal mail-in voting.”
—Donald Trump, on why he’s cutting funding for the USPS.
“If we don’t make a deal, that means they don’t get the money. That means they can’t have universal mail-in voting; they just can’t have it.”
—Trump, to Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, Aug. 13.
“This is a repugnant, unbelievable scenario unfolding in front of public eyes. The Postal Service is the one arm of public service that reaches every household and every business every day in America. I believe Trump and the Republicans are playing with fire in trying to disrupt or discredit the Postal Service.”
—Rep. Gerald E. Connolly (D-Va.), who chairs a congressional subcommittee with oversight of the USPS.
“He is undermining the safest voting method during a pandemic and forcing people to cast a ballot in person. It is reprehensible.”
—Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, speaking about Trump.
“I am alarmed. I am disheartened. But no one in America has given up, because people are on to him. They know what he’s doing. Americans, as you can see from their votes in their primaries, would rather put ballots in the mailbox than their families in the hospital.”
—Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), who is pushing for a $3.6 billion appropriation to assist states in preparing for the fall elections.
“This is not just terrible policy, but it may be illegal under federal law and other state laws as well. A lot of work is being done literally as we speak over the weekend and at nights to try to figure out what Trump and DeJoy are doing, whether they have already violated or are likely to violate any laws and how we can take swift action to try to stop this assault on our democracy.”
—Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring. He has joined fellow attorneys general from Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Washington and North Carolina in opening discussions on how to sue the administration to prevent operational changes or funding lapses that could affect the election. [You may have noticed that Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry is not among them. Obviously, Jeff Landry is unconcerned about the voting rights of Louisianans.]

Although I am at extreme high risk for COVID, I will vote in a HAZMAT suit if necessary to ensure my vote against trump is counted.
tRump has to be the dumbest pos ever to ever occupy the people’s house, he hasn’t a clue what he’s doing. He’s failed at everything he’s ever attempted. He’s just a loser!
I have worked the polls for the last two major elections, and I will do so again just to make sure everyone is playing on a level field!
You can fool all of the people some of the time and you can fool some of the people all of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.
