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.
Mail-in ballots are their own paper trail. Not only can they not be fucked with, they can be used to demonstrate electronic fuckery in the rest of the same election.
Every mail-in ballot (and early vote) is much harder to account for and manipulate when it comes to fucking an election as a whole. And they’ve been doing this since electronic voting was a thing. If you haven’t yet, you should definitely read Vanity Fair’s The Path to Florida which is a dissection of the Bush v. Gore fight in Florida. Be sure to note the negative 16,000 votes in Volusia County.
