THIS HAS NOT BEEN COVERED BY ANY OTHER MAINSTREAM MEDIA.

Who made this order? WHY was it made just before a CRITICAL national election when millions are relying on safe and timely delivery of their ballots? I posted here on DU about it back in September.

If you're on twitter or prefer other means of contacting the below, NOW would be a good time. THIS, along with other sabotage of USPS, can COST US THE ELECTION.

1. I heard that on Rachel

and they won't let politicians in Post Officers also.

Call your elected officials. A lot of underhanded crap is going on.

2. What is DeJoy planning to DO with the mailed ballots?

It appears he plans to have them 'done away with' somehow and doesn't want to get caught at it.

3. To be clear the order only pertained to fraud off Post Office premises.

Not sure why they would do this but the vast amount of postal theft is related to on premise theft.

If you look carefully at your local post office building you will see a separate door on the side of the building. This door opens to a stairway that goes to a concealed walkway around the interior of the post office sorting and distribution areas. Every 10 feet or so there are narrow slits that allow postal inspectors to view the handling of mail without being observed.

4. Apparently all the Postal Inspectors are being pulled off the job, too

Story at Daily Kos here with link to Wall Street Journal story.

But I'm sure it's nothing to be alarmed about.

5. Sabotage the PO. Sabotage the ballots. Sabotage voters' rights.
