THE AUDACITY: USPS Compares Mail-In Ballots To 'Replica Explosives' In Surrender To Trump

The Marc Elias reports:

Just when you thought the Postal Service couldn’t sink any lower, they pull out the ultimate legal acrobatics to appease Donald Trump. In a desperate late-night court filing, federal lawyers actually tried to justify mishandling election mail by comparing your constitutional right to vote to hazardous waste and fake bombs. You couldn’t make this level of anti-democratic nonsense up if you tried.

Although ballot mail does not present precisely the same operational issues as cremated remains or replica explosives, it is unquestionably sensitive mail that raises unique operational considerations.

Imagine comparing a basic democratic right to a pipe bomb just to satisfy a fascist’s fragile ego. The legal gymnastics are staggering, but the underlying push for voter suppression remains crystal clear.
