Experts Doubt USPS Can Get a Handle on Ballots This Fall
If past is prologue, experts worry that the
US Postal Service will not be able to handle the number of absentee ballots that are expected to be cast during this fall’s midterm election.
In 2020, the Postal Service performed poorly in similar cir stances, with many ballots arriving late to voters’ homes or not at all.
During the 2020 election cycle, 1 percent of voters experienced problems with mail-in ballots, including delays and tracking errors, according to a 2020 Pew Research Center survey.
In a tight election, that can make a difference.
The Postal Service stated in an email to WhoWhatWhy that
it is fully committed to the “secure and timely delivery of election mail during the 2022 election cycle.” NOT under Dejoy

Ted Cruz comes out in support of voter misinformation on Twitter and
gets roasted
When it comes to voter misinformation,
Republicans seem to have reached an entirely new level of absurdism,
asking whether or not Twitter will enforce rules in providing people actual information about voting rights.
Yes, you heard that right. Apparently for Texas Sen. Ted
Cruz, providing accurate information about your right to vote might also deserve to be taken down.

Medical boards in red states chock-full of GOP donors—70% of whom are men
Mother Jones reports that those seats in Republican-led states are being filled with anti-choice GOP donors who are there to do one thing: clamp down on reproductive health and abortion care.
According to Mother Jones, in the states with the most restrictive abortion legislation, over half of the board seats are filled with people (70% of whom are men) who’ve donated at least $1,000 to GOP campaigns,
“The more zealous people you get on the board who have extreme views, the more likely it is that the state medical board is going to more tightly aligned with the other arms of the government and go after physicians.”
in addition to protecting patients from “incompetent, unprofessional, and improperly trained physicians,”
medical boards “are the agencies that license medical doctors, investigate complaints, discipline physicians who violate the medical practice act, and refer physicians for evaluation and rehabilitation when appropriate.”
“You get a little bit more nervous and anxious when you start to see the state passing regulations restricting medical care. …
Then what’s the next step? The medical board saying,
‘Did you comply?’ And if not, now it’s going to come for your license,”

Here's an enforcement on BigFinance that would never happen under Repugs
Wall Street's Record Fines Over WhatsApp Use Were Years in the Making
- SEC, CFTC struggled to access messages, prompting probes
- Banks expected to pay $2 billion in US fines for recordkeeping
The scrutiny intensified at the SEC after Chair Gary Gensler took over in April 2021.
After investigating JPMorgan Chase & Co. over the lapses,
the regulator opened an industrywide sweep across Wall Street to figure out how many business-related communications were missing.
The crackdown is now expected to result in about 10 banks paying fines totaling around $2 billion, with lenders from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. to Barclays Plc saying they expect comparable penalties to JPMorgan,
which announced in December it would pay $200 million in penalties to the SEC and CFTC. That dwarfs the $15 million Morgan Stanley agreed in 2006 after being accused of similar lapses.
“There is some sticker shock,” Howard Fischer, partner at law firm Moses Singer and former senior SEC trial attorney, said of the fines.
“They’re basically as large as they can go, while both representing a great headline for the enforcement agencies without actually threatening the continuation of anyone’s business,” he added.
The speed of the dragnet caught some by surprise.
“We were not anticipating the $200 million charge,” Credit Suisse Group AG’s Chief Financial Officer David Mathers said on an earnings call last month.
“I think you will be seeing that across the industry, but I wasn’t expecting that at the end of the first quarter.”
Representatives at the SEC and CFTC declined to comment.
During a tense meeting over allegations that
JPMorgan executives routinely shirked surveillance duties by tapping out work communications on personal messaging platforms and email,
SEC officials said previous fines shouldn’t serve as guideposts for the penalty the bank would have to pay to settle the case.
Enforcement Director Gurbir Grewal said past punishments hadn’t gotten banks to take recordkeeping seriously enough, according to people familiar with the conversation.
The irregularities included “records preservation requirements applicable to broker-dealer firms, swap dealers and futures commission merchants,” according to JPMorgan’s 2021 annual report.
The CFTC said in December it became aware of such breaches at the lender as it conducted a separate “investigation into certain of JPMorgan’s trading,” without providing further details.
Despite believing that their actions had been less severe than those uncovered at US compe ors, executives at some European banks decided to try to settle as soon as possible, two people familiar with the matter said.
The regulators have taken the view that any use of personal devices for business communications is problematic, they said.
Beyond planning to pay hefty fines, some banks have already let go traders for improperly exchanging information on personal mobiles. HSBC Holdings Plc,
which said in February it was facing a US probe over the issue, recently fired a trader in London after scrutinizing the personal mobile phones of some staff in relation to the WhatsApp probe.
Fischer, the Moses Singer lawyer, expects more records preservation cases to come from the markets watchdogs as a result of much of the world of finance working from home during the early months of the Covid-19 pandemic and as more companies accept hybrid work.
There will likely be a renewed push at some of the larger banks reminding staff to operate through official channels and preserve records, but that’s
unlikely to stop the widespread use of communications apps and personal devices, Fischer said.
Wall Street banks are concerned how realistically they can comply with the records rules “when they really run counter to the way a lot of business is done today,” he said.
