John — Thanks to Trump’s handpicked Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who is still leading the U. S. Postal Service three years after Trump left office, millions of folks around the country will find their packages never make it to their intended destination this holiday season. But more ominously, we are months away from the start of voting in the presidential cycle, and DeJoy is a clear and present danger to vote-by-mail programs around the nation.
Louis DeJoy is a former RNC finance chair who has donated millions to Republican candidates. His family owns a company that was once a direct competitor with the USPS — until under his leadership, USPS awarded his company a $120 million contract. He was the subject of an FBI investigation into an alleged straw donor scheme to support GOP candidates. And after removing mail ballot drop boxes and decommissioning mail sorting facilities during the 2020 election, his 10-year austerity plan is on track to close 400 mail sorting facilities across the country — right as we head into the holiday season and another presidential election. If you are alarmed by the idea of a Trump appointee, who has enriched himself at the taxpayers’ expense and been the subject of an FBI investigation, administering a national election in which the guy who gave him the job and incited a violent insurrection when he lost is running again as the challenger, you’re not alone.
Thanks, Adam
