I and others' know what this postal rule is all about. It isn't about making our elections safer or more perfect, it is about controlling which party gets to vote by mail easily and which party doesn't. Trying to get this rule passed at this time within the window of an election already in progress is a desperate attempt to avoid the inevitable will of the people. The trump administration has been very clear that they will stay in power regardless of the means. Take them for their word, they mean it. This flagrant attempt to run an end around our constitution is perfectly an example. The only question now is will the supreme court allow this nefarious postal rule to advance while we are already within the bounds of an election?
From my and others' viewpoint this postal rule is an atomic bomb attempt cure in search of a problem that is essentially nonexistent.. In other words, there is no problem here to correct, only a devilish way to disenfranchise voters of their right to vote through embellished fear tactics. With only trump and a few of his sycophants claiming voter fraud, even though his party won the presidency, both chambers of congress, and hold a significant majority on the supreme court, the idea coming from republicans that there is widespread voter fraud is head scratching difficult to comprehend. Unless of course republicans are secretly blaming republicans for electing themselves, but are publicly saying that democrats are voting illegally, which is still absurd!
In 6 days Pennsylvania will begin its early voting so between then and now the 1st circuit court of appeals and the supreme court will be making some statements as to how all of us are to proceed on this rule. I don't know how the verdict will come but if the preliminary injunction stay is not lifted then the rule will be circumvented. If the stay is lifted then the likelihood of the rule passing will be most probable. The 1st circuit court will not affirm the postal rule verdict as final unless the supreme court refuses to hear the appeal, so likely that will have to come from the supreme court and its biased 6 majority republican members. Not based upon precedence nor sound constitutional adjudication but upon twisted strategy. I am still thinking the supreme court will not change the law and allow the postal rule to come into effect, at least not for this election.
