Mail Ballots Found Piled On Post Office Floor In Critical Florida District

Video footage of a post office in Miami Dade County, Florida found mail-in ballots piled on the floor as voters haven’t been getting mail.

The video above is an example of the mail sabotage that concerned so many experts when Trump and Postmaster General DeJoy started slowing down the mail months ago.

The good news for Florida voters is that if they don’t receive their ballot,

they can still vote on election day by provisional ballot. Not if Repugs are in charge

DeJoy delivers stunning response after failing to meet judge’s contempt deadline on hundreds of thousands of ballots




DeJoy has just said he was "unable" to meet the judge's order to have the ballots located and processed by 3 PM, he said. Instead of displaying any sense of seriousness about the ballots or his job performance, he offered up a stunning response.


In short, DeJoy, through his USPS attorneys, told Judge Emmet Sullivan that

they couldn't meet the deadline because doing so would have disrupted postal inspectors' other work.

As if on Election Day there is anything more important than getting all ballots delivered so they can be counted.

But not only did he say they were just too busy to meet the judge's orders,

they didn't realize, he claims, the judge had put the deadline in place.

This what corrupt politicization of "civil service" looks like

Trash has stripped civil service protections from 1000s of govt employees, who will be soon fired and replaced with incompetent Repug political hacks.

Judge lashes Postal Service for defying ballot order

The Postal Service did not comply with a last-minute court order to deploy postal inspectors to sweep facilities for undelivered ballots.

may? weasel words. Defying a critical, time-dependent court order MUST be punished.

if not, the precedent will encourage others to ignore the courts.

GOP donors paid USPS ‘whistleblower’ $136,000 for election fraud allegations —

that he just recanted

A Pennsylvania postal worker who became Republicans’ star witness after saying he was aware of widespread ballot tampering by the U.S. Post Office has recanted his claims.

GOP donors have paid him $136,000 via a GoFundMe campaign.

“Richard Hopkins’ claim that

a postmaster in Erie, Pa., instructed postal workers to backdate ballots mailed after Election Day

was cited by Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) in a letter to the Department of Justice calling for a federal investigation,”

Hopkins has now signed an affidavit recanting his false claims

"It's nuts; it's absolutely crazy," said Frank Albergo, president of the PPOA. "They pulled us off the street. There are no more marked postal police vehicles out in the street. I mean, it's actually inviting crime."

Albergo contacted the I-Team after seeing a November investigation featuring Maryland families who reported having checks stolen from blue collection boxes. One eyewitness even saw the thieves in action, using a special arrow key that unlocks all of the blue mailboxes within a given area. Court records show carriers are frequently targeted for their keys.

"For years, we were patrol officers who protected letter carriers and the blue collection boxes on the corner," said Postal Police Officer Eric Freeman. "We need to be out on the streets instead of at the plants."

20% of Americans receive their medicine exclusively through the mail

I'm not sure how much this has changed since August. Do people still trust the USPS to deliver their medicine on time? Not rhetorical.

I hope Biden put the USPS back on its feet, the last 15 years have been rough, but there's really been nothing like the last 7-8 months.

Campaign promise:

Biden proposes to convert the federal fleet (645,000 vehicles in 2019) to EVs in phases.

One federal agency that could desperately use a new fleet of zero-emissions vehicles is the United States Postal Service. Hundreds of the agency’s mail trucks, which are manufactured by Northrop Grumman, have caught fire over the last several years, Vice recently reported. And the USPS’s deadline for official bids to make its next-generation mail truck was delayed last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The program to replace the USPS’s current trucks was launched in 2015. But it has dragged on, forcing the postal service to keep its current trucks in service past their expected life span — despite the fact that they were introduced in the late 1980s and early ‘90s and lack features like air conditioning. Two of the original six companies have dropped out.
