re: #44 HypnoToad

A worry. Could Trump or Dejoy order a complete shutdown of postal service operations just before the election to ‘delay’ ballots so they can be discounted for being late. I imagine something like a 48 hour ‘temporary’ shutdown’ on Nov 1st, ‘to inspect for, collect, and preserve evidence of mail fraud’. It might even be conveniently done in crucial swing states, or even certain cities. Could a last minute directive like that be prevented or reversed?

Maybe this is just my late night, awake in bed, conspiracy theory, but it seemed then like something they might try.

Or he could just order the ballots don’t get postmarks.
