Struth, where's the democracies these days. Rigging even here too. Especially in the way they have junkie candidates to spread preferences
Struth, where's the democracies these days. Rigging even here too. Especially in the way they have junkie candidates to spread preferencesCan't vote. Closed all the polling booths. Read the first post on this thread.
Dictatorships and Communists hold elections.
Only Democracies hold fair elections.
Tin hat stuff.The best they could come up with?
Firstly, the guy running the post office is a Trump donor and is close to him. All this is happening now when the election is very close.
Secondly, they were taking away all the post boxes. Also getting rid of many of the sorting machines. They are also shortening the post offices hours so they are closed so people can't post without leaving work. This is all about slowing the mail deliberately (no overtime also) so even if you get the form (which will take days, maybe a week) there will not be time to send it off and get processed again by the post office in time to be counted. You can be sure in certain districts this will not be improved. The turn around is too short so people will be effectively stopped by voting by mail
We know they can't vote on polling day because the boss will sack them (or at least make them as the first to be sacked) and even if they do the queues will be so long that they lose a days pay anyway (and I already showed you in some districts there is one polling station for 300,000 people because they are going to close all the others to stop voting) + they might catch Covid+ if they are black they have to go through a cordon of guys in fatigues carrying guns glaring at them. Come on!
The areas who vote the Republican way will have great facilities in comparison to help that vote. They will be gerrymanded into strange shapes and will maybe have only far fewer voters so they can make more pro districts.
The exact same thing happened here and worldwide.Full picture of what is happening in the US Post Office - and why..
Louis DeJoy: is Trump's new post office chief trying to rig the election?
Since taking office in June, DeJoy has executed sweeping changes at the struggling USPS, leading to delays in mail delivery – and fears mail-in ballots won’t arrive on time
About a month ago, a United States Postal Service (USPS) mail carrier named Mark arrived at his post office in central Pennsylvania and got some shocking news from his station manager. Mark and his coworkers were told they would have to depart the office for deliveries a few hours earlier each day, even if that meant leaving behind much of the day’s mail.
In the weeks that followed, higher-ups at the station instructed carriers to abandon hundreds of pieces of mail in order to depart a mere 10 or 20 minutes earlier. As the days went on, the excess mail started to pile up, and now Mark estimates there are thousands of undelivered letters and packages sitting in his station.
“The supervisors are cracking the whip, making sure we leave,” Mark told the Guardian. “Meanwhile carriers are walking by and saying, ‘Look at all this ******* mail we’re walking past, it’s just sitting there.’”
When Mark and his coworkers confronted the station manager he said he was only following orders from the new USPS postmaster general, Louis DeJoy. Since taking office in June, DeJoy has executed sweeping changes at the struggling US Postal Service, shaking up agency leadership and rolling out policies that have led to delays in mail delivery. These changes, which DeJoy has said are designed to cut down on labor costs, have angered advocates and Democratic politicians, who have accused him of trying to tamper with the election just weeks before millions of Americans start casting their ballots through the mail.

Postman Leon Craig is busy. He says he is even busier than during the Christmas period, which is usually the most frenzied time of a postie's year.
Key points:
But unlike at Christmas, there is no end in sight.
- More Australians are shopping online during the coronavirus pandemic, with online department store purchases up 473 per cent
- Australia Post chief executive Christine Holgate said lengthy delays were due to the grounding of much of the air freight network
- Australia Post is retraining motorbike posties to deliver and process parcels
"There's a lot more parcels compared to everything else. It used to be majority letters, but now it's parcels," the 22-year-old Victorian, who works in Warrnambool, said.
"Most people are understanding; I just tell them that we're working as hard as we possibly can."
As Australians stay at home, and with many bricks and mortar stores closed, it is no surprise there has been a huge strain placed on the postal service.
Australia Post is delivering about 1.8 million parcels a day. Online department store purchases are up 473 per cent, while fashion purchases have trebled (up 203 per cent).
Quote where he says he is going to rip out mailboxes.The excuses for Trump after he publicly stating he was trying to stop Americans voting is starting to get bizarre.
I don't think anyone could have made this stuff up.

The bizarre thing is the dumb conspiracy theories still getting around.
*if* The Donald is trying to rig the election (and that's a *big* if), it would only basically bring the republicans back on equal terms with the corrupt democrats.
Perversely, it would make the election somewhat fair.
Thanks for your excellent analytical skills, orr.
...but as usual, you have missed pertinent points. Try again, bruh.
True, can you imagine the angst when Trump gets himself on Mt Rushmore?God I hope Trump wins, purely for the continuing entertainment value [emoji23]
If so, I hope it's with his trademark smirkTrue, can you imagine the angst when Trump gets himself on Mt Rushmore?
