We need an immediate law passed in Congress that the US Postal Service is required to delivery all mail to everyone, all the time, no exceptions, ever. All mail it receives must be delivered to the intended recipient, period. Violations get 50 years in prison. No parole.

Someone should point out to republicans that if this admin can order mail to not be delivered to democrats, the next admin can order it to not be delivered to republicans.

Marc Elias Friday, June 12 Premium Democracy Docket eNewsletter Excerpt: Back in March, Trump signed an executive order demanding the creation of a national voter list. Only those on the list would be allowed to receive a mail-in ballot. The motivation behind this order is obvious: Trump wants to control who can vote. Now, in response to the rule, the United States Postal Service is making states choose: hand over a list of voters they want to vote by mail, or say good-bye to mail-in voting. It’s blackmail of the most obvious form: trying to force state leaders to hand over a list of citizens to a dangerous government that can’t be trusted, so that it can use deeply flawed lists to purge voters. This rule will disenfranchise Americans.
