Trump Administration Slowdowns at USPS Spark Protests
Toledoans – individuals
and members of various organizations – took to the street on
Saturday to protest the attempt by the Trump administration
to cut back on services provided by the United States Postal
Service.
The National Postal Mail
Handlers, The Movement, the Community Solidarity Response
Network and the NAACP were joined by a diverse group of
citizens to protest the cuts ordered by Postmaster General
Louis DeJoy, who assumed his duties in May 2020. During his
term, numbers of mail sorting machines and mail boxes have
been eliminated and employee overtime has ended, all in the
runup to November 3 Election Day.
Trump, of course, has
insisted, without providing evidence, that mail in voting
will lead to election fraud and his lawyers are attempting,
in a number of swing states, to get the courts to put a halt
to the practice.
He and his wife have
already requested mail-in ballots from Florida.
