Let's be clear - Postmaster General DeJoy needs to REVERSE these changes, NOT just suspend them. We need sorting machines turned back on, mailboxes put back, and Post Office hours restored. Anything less still amounts to sabotage of our postal system. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/pos…

BREAKING - I'm calling on Ohio Secretary of State LaRose NOT to ban Ohio counties from providing multiple secure ballot drop boxes in each county. LaRose’s decision to ban Ohio communities from serving their residents is voter suppression, plain and simple.

Multiple studies have shown that >40% of covid transmission occurs from people who are pre-symptomatic or asymptomatic. Another study found that of hospitalized covid-19 patients, 2/3 did NOT have a fever. Besides the privacy concerns, this flat out won't work.
