> Whistleblower: USPS Defied A Court Injunction To Build An Untested, Undocumented Ballot-Blocking System

elmer2•1h ago

This article is being disingenuous. Trump doesn't support mail-in ballots when it's automatically sent out to everyone, even if they didn't request it.

This is a vulnerable system that can easily be exploited for fraud.

Ballots should only be sent out, if you request it for each election.

It's astounding that so many people lose all common sense, if it means admitting someone you don't like is correct.

Voters in mail-in states expect their ballot to be mailed to them automatically w/o having to make a request.
