John, I know that you have long wanted Trump’s handpicked Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to be fired. Frankly, I have too. Sadly, though, he’s still there.
And as millions of Americans vote by mail across the country, it’s critically important that we all understand this next point:
A federal judge has ruled that DeJoy’s changes to the U.S. Postal Service before the 2020 election harmed mail delivery and impeded voting by mail at the height of the pandemic.
The judge ruled that states, counties, and cities that filed suit against DeJoy proved that his delays affected their ability to provide safe alternatives to in-person voting at the height of the pandemic.
And DeJoy bypassed regulators he was required to notify of any changes.
DeJoy’s general counsel at the Postal Service used strongarm tactics to intimidate states and threaten that if they did not pay first class postage on ballots, then voters may not receive them in time to vote by mail.
DeJoy was a Republican National Committee money man. A personal ally of the disgraced, twice-impeached ex-president. An executive for a direct competitor to the USPS. It’s unconscionable that he is still running the USPS two years later as Americans are once again voting by the millions.
John, please add your name to my petition demanding Louis DeJoy’s removal as Postmaster General by the USPS Board of Governors.
We’ve long known that DeJoy’s conflicts of interest and loyalty to the GOP partisans made him unfit to serve as Postmaster General — now a federal judge has ruled that his leadership directly impacted our voting rights.
Enough is enough. It’s time for DeJoy to go.
Thanks for joining me in calling for a USPS that puts public service above DeJoy’s private, personal interests.
