DeJoy says what now? #Vote early(er)!!

NEW: The USPS recommends voters mail their ballots by tomorrow, October 29, if their state requires mail-in ballots to be received by Election Day. The postal service says it will continue to deploy "extraordinary measures" to accelerate election mail.https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/usps-voters-should-mail-ballots-by-tuesday-for-delivery-by-election-day/

@GottaLaff Even if Texas had reasonable access to mail-in voting, I'd hand-deliver it as long as DeJoy is there.

Good if DeJoy to give plenty of advance notice. Why does DeMisery still hold that position?

@Chipper319 Because the board hasn't vote him out

It will be as tedious to clean up the USPS Board of Governors as it will be to clean up the US Supreme Court. Heavyly weighted in the wrong direction.

I'm not going to trust USPS for election stuff until DeJoy is DeOut.

Since the Post Office is actually mentioned in the Constitution, you'd think its job is important! This nitwit, Dejoy should stop delivering the junk mail (90% of the mail) for a week, and focus on the important stuff.

@GottaLaff As someone else said, I would never rely on the mail to deliver my “mail-in” ballot. Put it in the drop box last week.

@JaneinNJ Well....

@GottaLaff Yeah. I know. It’s all bad. I’ll just send another batch of postcards and hope they get delivered.

I wonder whether DeJoy has any accomplices.

@GottaLaff NFL: I get where this logic comes from, but to me, this just reminded me that I'd rather go vote in person than trust my vote to DeJoy's USPS. Not sure how/why the man still has the job

@GottaLaff how is DeJoy still in his role?

@ttmevans The board hasn’t fired him
