Federal Judge Orders USPS Inspectors To Sweep Mail Facilities For Unsent Ballots | MTP Daily | MSNBC
The way the elections are going in the US is terribly shocking to me, the waiting in lines, voter suppression, etc. It should be simpler than this.
In canada, your employer legally has to give you a 4-hour break to go vote and all voting takes places in elementary schools. Last time I waited 5 minutes in-and-out.
No one gives a s*** what you think
5 micron (mask pore size) 0.12 micron (covid particle size)
I put my ballot in a drop box. No waiting.
@Nancy Diehl That’s your experience. An anecdote. Mine was a fast line, too. But I live in an affluent area. And with a lot of early voting.
But the data on how long people have to wait to vote, especially in districts that have more minority populations, is out there. Longstanding trend. Go read or something
@A Maaa I voted after work near my job/where I live, a large Level I Trauma Center in the Medical District.
I’m well aware of the indigent as I provide medical care for this diverse population. If you are as “affluent” as you state then I guess maybe you are not aware that most medical districts are not often located on the best part of town.
I had no problem voting nor did the others around me despite not being in an “affluent” neighborhood. Maybe you need to take a break from “reading” and actually explore things outside YOUR bubble.
PS: I don’t like to assume that just because you are a minority you are poor. That’s a stereotype.
GOP: ”That is against our voter fraud!”

Unless it’s pro-Trump, or from the Russian Post Office with “Mayk Amerika Grate from real Amerika Person” on the envelope.
I’m surprised our Postmaster General is allowing this. He must have really been cowed after being called out for his crap.

DeeZee DeJoy isn’t doing this; a federal judge ORDERED him to do this.
Cant fight the courts unless you want to wind up in jail.
@Noreb “yey to defy a court order”? How can you say that and it not be sarcastically?
There isn’t enough space here to write out the number of times he’s done that in the course of his life.
@The Tweatles I personally don’t. That’s the problem with this country. Hyper parasitism. Extremes create extreme reactions. All politicians are dirty.
America’s immune system is fighting the orange tumor.
@LISA N ….not funny, so you broke your copy & paste streak to laugh?
It needs to be removed b4 it spreads anymore!
You should fight that TDS.
@VOTED BLUE so you don’t mind that Biden touches little girls?
i have a fever too
The fact that we can’t trust the US Postal Service is shocking beyond words. Lock him up! Dump & Dejoy!!!!!
Its not the post office we cant trust. Its the people trump purposely put in charge of the US post office SPECIFICIALLY to screw up ballots and the election. this has been a long time coming.
@The Tweatles that story is faker than trumps wig. Why are you so focused on politics when you should be concentrated on accepting your sexuality. For real, how many year has it been?
@Shawn Corbin You literally ( not figrutevly) just referred to trump as God.
It’s not the USPS that we can’t trust. It’s DeJoy, Trump’s lapdog.
I never stopped trusting the USPS! It’s just dejoy!
If you mailed your ballot, or know someone who did, please check your ballot status online for your state to see if it arrived and was counted! It only takes a minute or two to check.
If the ballot hasn’t arrived or has the “counted” status, please screenshot your status, contact your elections office, or go to the polls. Also, screenshot your registration status as proof.

@Trinitro Phenylnitramine That’s not the point. Millions of virus particles are in one splash of moisture from another person’s breath, sneeze, or cough. What the mask does is keep most of those droplets from travelling the distance to infect another person. And the amount which reaches you – the viral load – is a deciding factor in whether or not your own immune system can fight off the infection. At present, that’s all you have – your own immune system. There’s no medication and still no acceptable vaccine. So masks matter.Washing your hands destroys the virus’ fatty outer layer if the droplets are on your hands. Masking blocks the larger droplets from contacting the membrane of your nose and mouth – the only kind via which they can get into your cells and replicate. Distance prevents the droplets covering the distance. So the ‘viruses are too small’ argument is not relevant. Viruses don’t travel singly; they travel in their millions within larger, or smaller, moisture droplets. If those droplets can’t get to your mouth, nose or (to a lesser extent) your eyes, you’re that much safer.
I hope they aren’t looking for the ballot they mailed to me that I didn’t ask for. Law: voter must request mail-in ballot. Cuz I threw it out and voted in person.
@Sara Drake You received a copy of the form, that’s all. It’s everyone’s right to vote and the choice of whether to vote by mail or in person is – naturally – up to you. But you’re not a person who knows that copies of the voting registrations, with your name, address and registered party preference are in the hands of people whose aim is to stop you from voting. Putting copies of the registration lists – mostly sorted by address and listed party-preference – in the hands of people who not only know where you live but whose aim is to intimidate you, and who may be standing with assault rifles at the polling stations means that providing everyone with the means to do a mail-in vote is a way to ensure everyone’s rights are respected. Or maybe you are in that situation of being harrassed by Trumpians – and just a very brave person.
@Sara Drake I saw you say that on another site, and replied to you there. And you’re mistaken about what the ‘law’ is – a ballot form can be posted to everyone in some states and obviously your state is one of them. No-one’s forcing you to fill it in and if you did vote by mail you couldn’t vote in person as well, but the choice is yours. Nothing wrong with being offered that choice. Nothing illegal about it.
I guess that means ballots in the mail will be counted after today. Like in every other election…
@harry berry gets their news from kirstie alley
@A Republic If You Can Keep It. Anyone who mailed their ballot today is a saboteur

@JR Porter 🤪🤯
Let me guess CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, BBC, PBS and the View are the most honest and reliable sources out there 🤣😂🤣😂😍
The judge has to order UPS to do it job!
You mean DeJoy at the USPS, don’t you?
In reality Democrats support BLM lgbtq and defunding the police *FACT
tinyurl.com/y6z494yu 👈😳
@The Tweatles you are completely deranged. Get some serious help.
UPS or USPS?
The Postal Service Grand Master DeJoy need to be locked up!!
With Donnie as his cell mate!
@end time warrior hate to break it to you, but a red tsunami is coming. You idiots all but guaranteed it.
@John Doe no individual can really affect the election unless you volunteer and help them campaign.
@John Doe
…Ew, right wing is on its period again?
@jeck jeck they’ve been on their period for decades. Must be why they’re so cranky.
Just less than 4 hours for most of the states. Vote please!
Its really appalling that it requires a court order to make sure legitimate ballots are counted.
https://youtu.be/W0pV0oa0g8o
@Shawn Corbin You lot keep claiming this, but you never seem to provide actual proof to back it up. Instead you make up some kind of excuse to defend your claim.
Trust me, it didn’t need a federal order. This is drama. USPS already had system in place for sweep just like every year
It would also be a appalling if a court order was needed to make sure illegitimated ballots are not counted.
@Penni why would we trust YOU? Apparently this is necessary.
All RIGHT !!!! That judge, I’m willing to bet, is Judge Sullivan. He is pure justice.
@jeck jeck he might be too old to nominate
@Shawn Corbin You need to fact check on that because your wrong.
@Gary Samuels
73 years old.
@jeck jeck yeah.. that’s way too old..I can’t see him moving up too far.
Cough, cough..
Mobilizing everyone against Trump and the GOP in Congress. We need to take everything from them! Come vote and don’t ignore your life.
@Jim Myers you assumed i threatened or attacked people, both assumptions are baseless. Free speech is free speech as long as your speech doesn’t present a ” clear and present danger”.
If you can’t see that cancel culture is a real thing, or youtube banning certain ideologies, then maybe you need to open your eyes.
@Saint Scanderbeg Just saying that you would NOT have those accounts shut down without something along those lines. What you did, I don’t really care, but you need to look at your own behavior if you keep getting accounts shut down.
@Micho Rizo funny coming from someone that didn’t want any to begin with.

It looks like Federal Judges isn’t playing with the Conman. Thank You Real Judges.
https://youtu.be/W0pV0oa0g8o
Amen!
President Trump have NO DOUBT, YOU DON’T MESS AROUND WITH OUR JUDGES.
YOU DON’T OWN THEM
YOU DON’T TELL THEM WHAT TO DO
DUMP TRUMP
ONLY A DICTATOR WOULD SUPPRESS THE VOTE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND OUT ROADBLOCKS IN THE DELIVERY OF THE
MAIL-IN BALLOTS.
VOTE THIS DICTATOR OUT OF OFFICE
VOTE THE SENATORS OUT TOO
I love that judge he is a national treasure.
Trumps postmaster refused orders. No sweep was executed
@teehud313 I hope the judge puts him in jail at his discression.
@Mignon Simpson trump will get him out. Smdh
And don’t get it twisted…..BLACK LIVES MATTER….ALL OVER THE WORLD…..NOT JUST IN THE U.S.
@TRUMP 2020 Its a fking blue shirt. Nothing more.
@Doug Rollings I mean to be fair by saying blue lives matter youre also saying blm because black cops do exist
True, Joe Biden preached for segregation in the 1970’s and read the eulogy for a Klansman.. The Democrats are the party of slavery. Always have been and always will be.
@TRUMP 2020 ain’t nobody with blue skin…..unless you mean…..BLACK LIVES MATTER….IN THE WHOLE WORLD
All lives matter
It is sad that we need a Judge to make sure our votes are protected.
@Margo not if DeJoy can help it
republi-CoNS still protecting traitor45 🤢
Right!!!
Somebody gotta do it.
@E.B. G https://youtu.be/aDdA6RKUCvI
Order in the court, none of those voter suppression and purging tactics this time. Let the votes be found, mailed and counted🎊💙🌊
DeJoy needs to be prosecuted after election.
DeJoke needs to go to JAIL!!!
@Mark Allen That snake 🐍 only has the power Trump delagated to him.
Right after Obama, Hillary, ByeDone, Pelosi, Schutdown Schummer and every single rioter. Every. Single. Rioter.
He’ll use the ‘Nuremberg’ defense – “I was just following orders.”
He dismantled and destroyed millions of dollars worth of federal equipment for the express purpose of suppressing the vote by crippling the USPS so the mail-in votes could not be processed in a timely manner. Federal charges should definitely be in his future!
Thk u federal judge!!💓&Trump would rather control ballots,but couldn’t control the covid pandemic!pathetic
