Jena Griswold is my spirit animal.
If I gathered non-MAGA Secretaries of State in a room I’d ask “why can’t you all be as badass as Secretary Griswold?” (To be fair, some of them are.)
This is encouraging voter fraud, and I will refer you @realDonaldTrump for prosecution if warranted. https://t.co/qVZiyijU6Z

Sec. Griswold *opened a can* on Twitter and served notice to would-be lawbreakers that the jig is up. So how did we get here?
Three months of criminality
USPS Board of Governors should hire attorneys since THEY are responsible for Louis DeJoy [UPDATED]
Since Brooklyn Mob Louis DeJoy was installed by donald and USPS Board of Governors—whose contrived-selection process should be getting a LOT more press coverage—he’s been absolutely comfortable committing sabotage of a federal agency. I’ve been covering this story pretty much non-stop since I stumbled over Atlanta postmaster getting quietly replaced.
Browse through past issues:
Weird how ratf*cking USPS has spokespeople running for exits [UPDATED]
‘Constitutional conservatives’ silent while Mnuchin & DeJoy run roughshod over USPS [UPDATED]
Before Louis DeJoy was installed to destroy USPS he committed election fraud in North Carolina
Because past is prologue ALL my questions were deflected by national-press folks at USPS. These are serious questions that NEED answering;
After sending me some corporate-speak gobbledygook I wrote back with a further question as to why (since USPS is now in-business to dole out voting advice) they didn’t add a bullet about how voters can drop ballots off at drop-boxes. Then I received this:
To my mind getting stonewalled by spokespeople is a TELL in and of itself.
I just found out the @USPS is sending this postcard to every household and PO Box in the nation. For states like Colorado where we send ballots to all voters, the information is not just confusing, it’s WRONG. (Thread) pic.twitter.com/RoTTeJRJVl

Irony here is DeJoy & USPS are saying with their mailer, “hey guys! here’s some voting advice from a national agency” when our elections are decentralized. Can’t have it both ways: exploit broken system of cobbled-together state-based hodge-podge policies with election fraud (yes, they’re doing that as I type) AND offer advice printed on official USPS letterhead that—according to the lawsuit—is fraudulent.
if we don't establish national voting standards this type of @PatMcCroryNC bullcrap will continue to happen. https://t.co/HfMtTz22vG

As I’ve said on Twitter for years: we need national-voting standards, and we need them now. Thanks to criminal GOP we might get there faster than you think.
Updates as events warrant. 📪
Join me in trying to make all the President's cheating a major issue in this campaign. Ferocity, scale of it is MINDBOGGLING, and there is surely more to come. Cheating helped him win in 2016 – we can't let it happen again.
