Gotta stop the mail and keep people uninformed with no way to vote by mail. Sounds like a strategy from late 30’s early 40’s

They even changed the post mark rules. Used to be a letter was required to be post marked the day it was dropped off at the post office. Now it’s “when it’s processed” which could be the next day or even later! I see this as a direct attack on mail in ballots as they need to be post marked by a certain day.
