Republicans' attempts to sabotage the US postal service appear to be affecting their own rural voters disproportionately. They are trying absolutely everything but they are consistently too incompetent to sabotage the election effectively. Get out and vote! We are winning this! https://www.propublica.org/article/mail-ballot-delays-postal-service-midterms#Republicans #midterms #MAGA #GOP #USPS

NEW: A ProPublica data analysis shows that delays resulting from USPS’ cost-cutting measures have endangered the validity of ballots mailed in rural areas. Counties that voted for Trump in 2024 have been most affected. https://www.propublica.org/article/mail-ballot-delays-postal-service-midterms?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post#News #Data #USPS #Vote #Voting #Election #Midterms #Rural #USPolitics

My point is, despite the characterization of #Oregon as an “exclusively” vote by mail state, (which it technically is) it is perfectly possible for those living in the state to receive and cast a ballot without ever depending upon the #USPS. There is some satisfaction in evading Carrot Caligula’s best efforts to suppress the vote using his corrupt pos #postmaster. I beat the system & with a bit of effort you can too.

NEW: ProPublica’s reporting reveals for the first time the extent of the White House’s role in trying to dictate how mail-in ballots are processed, spurring behind-the-scenes drama that played out for nearly a year. https://www.propublica.org/article/trumps-plan-to-restrict-mail-voting?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post#News #WhiteHouse #Trump #USPS #Voting #Vote #Election #Midterms #Law #USPolitics

"Overwhelmed" US postal worker in Utah threw away 300 mail ballots and other mail during the recent primary. Due to demanding work loads, 12-14 hour days up to 6-7 days a week, the postal service has a very high turnover rate. Some positions see a 50% or more turnover in the first year. #usps#MailBallot

Some brave young protestors from the Sunrise Movement in #Minneapolis crashed a meeting of #USPS leadership to warn them that the people expect them to follow the #SCOTUS order and deliver ballots. It's not a bad idea to make sure they know we are watching them. #Trump deliberately put an election denier in charge and we know these people are criminals. The least they deserve is peaceful protestors yelling at them. #midterms #50501movement

From NPR (no paywall) "The Supreme Court rejects Trump's mail voting restrictions for this year's midterms" https://www.npr.org/2026/09/14/nx-s1-5962190/supreme-court-mail-in-voting-trump "The Supreme Court has ruled against President Trump, rejecting his efforts to enact new mail-in voting restrictions for the midterm election. The ruling released Monday by the high court means the U.S. Postal Service is expected to continue delivering ballots as usual." #USPol #Elections #Voting #VoteByMail #USPS #SCOTUS #VoterSuppression #Resist

@CptSuperlative@toot.cat @futurebird@sauropods.win That is why the #trump administration is trying prevent the #USPS from delivering your ballot.

A new audit by the U.S. Postal Service’s Office of Inspector General found a lack of training for post office staff, deficiencies in how ballots were tracked and errors leading to delays. Experts say it raises questions ahead of the midterms. https://www.propublica.org/article/postal-service-audit-primary-election-ballots?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post #News #USPS #Vote #Voting #Election #Midterms #Democracy #USPolitics

For a THIRD time a federal Judge blocks #Trump #MailBallot rules The ruling arrived before #SCOTUS could decide whether to intervene but is certain to set off yet another round of appeals. #law #USPS #ElectionInterference #VotingRights #Constitution #Congress #states #Federalism #ElectionLaw #midterms #elections #USpol #Republicans #WhiteSupremacy

The USPS is trying to implement Trump's corrupt system of mailing validation. Call your reps and be ready to vote by any means necessary - and organize. We're going to give them the Blue Wave they're terrified of. https://www.propublica.org/article/mail-voting-usps-officials-concerns-disenfranchisement #uspol #capol #democracy #usps

Top USPS officials expressed concerns that new mail voting rules could delay or block ballots from reaching large swaths of eligible voters for the upcoming midterms, but the rules moved forward anyway, ProPublica has learned. https://www.propublica.org/article/mail-voting-usps-officials-concerns-disenfranchisement?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post#News #USPS #MailVoting #Voting #Vote #Election #Midterms #Democracy #Trump

#USPS is now trending across Mastodon

🚨🚨 Whistle-Blower Says #Trump Officials Are Defying #Court Orders on #MailVoting 🚨🚨 A report detailed “grave concerns” that a new system being rushed into use by the #USPS could imperil millions of #MailBallots ahead of the #midterms. A USPS official has alleged that the agency is moving forward with a “secretive, rushed” effort to implement Trump’s order exerting federal control over mail voting, despite a #CourtOrder blocking those plans. #law #judiciary

new theory: the Thin Blue Line actually stands for postal workers, not cops, and The Liberals have been trying to hide this from us the WHOLE TIME...!!!!!! #meme #uspol #acab #usps

A great examination of the challenges facing the postal system in the US. And while it is specific to the USPS, it rhymes with what is happening at Canada Post and other postal systems around the world. https://www.npr.org/2026/03/25/nx-s1-5760859/the-plight-of-the-u-s-postal-service #SnailMail #USPS #CanadaPost

Updated #USPS policy says #postmarks might not indicate the first day the Postal Service received the mail, but rather the day it was handled in one of its processing centers. Those centers are increasingly likely to be further away from certain communities because of recent consolidations within the Postal Service, which could further delay postmarks. #law #ElectionLaw #MailBallots #elections #midterms #VoterSuppression
