Constitution requires U.S. Postal Service to deliver ballots

OPINION — The current administration in Washington, D.C. appears to have no boundaries when it comes to attacking our rights as citizens of the United States.

With the backing of our Arizona Congressional 8 Rep. Abe Hamadeh, they want to deprive many of us to our right to vote.

The latest, and illegal, attack is the threat to not allow the U.S. Postal Service to deliver ballots that are cast through the postal system in states which do not adhere to the latest directive by the president to follow his order to restrict time limits he has ordered as to when these ballots can be mailed and/or accepted by those states. 

Elections are, according to the Constitution, to be conducted and regulated by the individual states, and not dictated by the whims of this incompetent and corrupt scion of late night social media.  

The U.S. Postal Service is a respected and very well-run organization and has for over 200 years been our most reliable government institution. Americans have always put their trust in the postal service to do their duty. Sadly, the same cannot be said the same for the current administration

If postal service employees willfully and deliberately delay and/or withhold delivery of mail they are guilty of breaking federal laws and subject to prosecution.

At this point in Trump’s second term in office, I think it might be time to question not only his knowledge of the Constitution, but maybe we should be taking a closer look at his oft repeated claims of outstanding cognitive ability.
