1. The US Supreme Court pretty much did that.

Thursday

They ruled that the USPS cannot be sued for non-delivery of mail, including mailed ballots.

Remember the stories of bags or boxes of ballots being left in a ditch or whatever?

Expect A LOT MORE OF THAT since there is no repercussion or accountability for it.

USSC works for TRUMP, who wants to do away with vote-by-mail. They gave him a BIG assist just yesterday for that.
