MODERATORS
This is why I took my mail in ballot to the post office instead of trusting a mailbox or my conservative mailman.
I did so and I'm checking my county's ballot tracker like a hawk to make sure it registers.
I got the email saying they received mine yesterday.
Still double checked the website because it could have been a Republican trick.
Ah yes, the stable democracy of a first world country...
Anyone who claims it's stable is not paying attention
Well, we have a set of billionaires/millionaires and one specific party that are actively seeking to break democracy in this country.
Or they're hoping whoever is listening to them is not.
The people who are most concerned about voter fraud are the ones committing voter fraud. Go figure.
This is the way
I dropped mine in the county's drop box so I don't have to risk letting USPS destroy it or "lose" it. Make sure you follow up to verify that your ballot was received AND accepted.
Headline should be something along the lines of "Fascists try to meddle with the election"
Not trying, already did. When Trump loses, he will use all of this as a reason for congress to appoint him president.
If there's one branch of law enforcement you don't want to fuck with it's the US Postal Inspection Service. This person is about to do some time. They do not fuck around with the mail.
Don’t piss off the PIS!
They don’t have their own special agents or something anymore right?
The USPS? Yes, they have agents and they are armed.
Wow what could I have been remembering…
They have their own police.
Just ask the Post Master General
Louis DeJoy is a fucking disgrace, for real.
I think DeJoy has pulled back their enforcement somewhat - to the point that violence against mail-carriers has had a HUGE spike. Hopefully this is still covered though.
Oh, and fire that fucker DeJoy, too...
Here comes the terrorism
Gosh, I wonder what the party affiliation of the perps might be....
It's good to vote early in case extremists try to take your vote away from you. Also, track your ballot, if you're able to.
when you can't win by the votes, and you know it, then comes the violence.
Given the municipality, it wouldn't surprise me if it was a Phoenix PD officer who did it.
I wonder whose supporters did this...
That is several US broken laws. There's an orange jumpsuit is that persons future.
This is actually my local post office, where I dropped off my ballot last week. They have taped signs above the mail slots in the extended-hours lobby that said “ballets” need to be handed to a specific window (meaning a worker during business hours). I can imagine there may have been some people who couldn’t visit during the 8:30-4:30 USPS hours who utilized the outside mailboxes. This really sucks for them.
Political violence aimed at voting, I wonder if it was dems or repubs committing the crime?
Aw, I'm Just kidding, No one wonders about this. Its always republicans doing terror acts on our soil.
