On Friday, a three‑judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously paused a lower‑court injunction that had temporarily blocked the USPS from finalising and enforcing the new ballot‑delivery rule.

The rule would permit the Postal Service to withhold delivery of mail‑in and absentee ballots where state officials decline to send certain voter data to federal authorities. In practice, that sets up a confrontation between states determined to guard sensitive voter information and a federal agency now claiming it cannot guarantee accurate ballot delivery without it.

    So suddenly it’s going to cause harm? What about the last 30 elections. They were able to deliver the ballots just fine for decades then this year is just too much. The courts, the senate, the president is destroying this nation.

        You may not see it but that does happen, pretty much every day, is it on the news? Nope. They had to come up with a exit strategy because people were attacking cars leaving the building.

        We can all get together as a nation and drone strike that mother fucker into oblivion. We each get one drone, with like 5 lbs of explosives. Easy peasy. We all hit it the same day. They literally cannot stop us all.
