Personally, I'm curious how they intend to apply this to states like mine, where all ballots are mailed.

My state is similar. The USPS were supposed to meet with state lawmakers this week, but cancelled last minute.
Hmmmmm.
Make sure the ACLU is there, just for expertise.
They will just declare that Republicans won all the elections
My prediction is that a lawsuit will go to a federal court, where they will strike this rule down based on Article I Section 4 of the Constitution.
They maybe fucked up by not waiting until closer to the election
No votes for you.
Damn, your state doesn't even have drop boxes?
Oh, we do. I meant that all of the ballots get mailed to voters before the election. We can either mail them back (postage paid) or drop them off at drop boxes in every district. It's a pretty awesome system, but if the USPS refuses to deliver the ballots it could be a problem. The state would have to figure out some other way to distribute them. It would be a huge PITA (not to mention expense) and probably reduce voter turnout significantly.
In Oregon where we've been vote by mail since like the 90s you can still vote in person. But we don't really have the infrastructure to allow every voter to vote in person. If those ballots don't get mailed out I imagine most Oregonians just won't vote, and those that do are going to be stuck in never ending lines.
Does Oregon not allow you to print your ballot if it doesn't get delivered in time like WA?
Personally, I’m curious how they intend to apply this to states like mine, where all ballots are mailed.
...probably reduce voter turnout significantly.
Asked and answered.
Oh yeah, that makes sense.
Anyone supporting this should be hanged. Or guillotined. I'm ok with either.
Both, in that order.
Well, it wouldn't really work in the other order...
Not with that attitude!
There’s that good ol’ fashioned American ingenuity!
So...extortion? Got it.
How in the fuck is this okay or legal?
There's no difference between a law not existing and a law not enforced
It's even worse actually, because the laws are selectively enforced. They become a cudgel
My grandfather was a state trooper. His motto was "It's only a crime if you get convicted."
ACAB, BTW.
You need to move past your legacy definition of 'okay' and 'legal'. Those have shifted. We are not going back, unfortunately.
It's not
Fascists with higher powers don't care about rules for themselves, the rules are only to keep people in check and to give something to the footsoldiers to believe in.

Video of Postmaster General saying USPS won't send mail ballots to states that don't provide voter lists
I wonder if they realize that blatantly breaking the law to serve the Cheeto-in-Chief will leave them all hanging out to dry.
Trump got rules in place to protect him from prosecution, all his idiots are still on the hook, and statue of limitations is longer than a presidential term ;)
Pardon pardon pardon pardon
didnt trump already normalize the revocation of pardons
And overusing exective orders.
It would be funny if the next guy signed one saying all of trumps executive orders are null. It won't happen because dems love this shit as much as republicans they just won't say it out loud.
Afaik pardons can't be revoked?
Are there realy still people who thinks the USA is still a democracy?
I would imagine that, in vote by mail states like mine, we would instantly have tens of thousands of volunteers going "Cool, cool... we'll hand deliver them. Fuck you USPS."
you can bring them to your voting place directly. thats what I did in the primary because he was already talking this trump.
Enemy Domestic
The game is "do illigal action, ask for forgiveness/ make it legal later." Ok, we'll start killing the ultra rich and thier loyalist boot lickers, guards and pawns, and make it legal later then. :D
I'm not american. Is there some other way they could be delivered without USPS? Do any states have their own postage system that could handle this?
