    For one thing, republicans go out of their way to suppress the democrat vote by moving and or closing polling stations, making people stand in line for hours on end in order to vote. But there can be errors at the polls as well, or did you forget Bush vs Gore. There should be both on site and mail-in voting as well as a national day off in order that everyone has the opportunity to vote at their leisure. The process of participating in their democracy shouldn't be made difficult for working people.

    That'd exclude 75% of the conservative article-posts here...

    Assuming he's obstructing the postal service to tamper with the election means he's probably affecting Rep ballots as much as Dem ballots. In the era of covid, it's probably more likely older folks, who are typically conservative, want to stay home and mail-in their ballots. It's a dumb conspiracy theory proposed by a union leader who has an obvious bias and probably hates the cutbacks that are being made to an institution that was facing bankruptcy.

    Right?

    It seems to be a right-wing thing - to accuse other people of the stuff right-wing conservatives been doing for years.

    Now Trump wants to delay the election because the postman might tear up the letters containing the votes and cheat him of an election. The truth is that he knows he will lose. Just preparing some wild lame excuses...

To assume he'll conspire with Trump to favor his reelection is just pure assumption. The guy who made the accusation is also a union leader, so naturally he's going to oppose any suggestion of cutbacks and, in this political environment, even put a politically conspiratorial spin on it. It's kind of a stupid conspiracy theory anyway. If he delays the postal service, then why wouldn't that affect the ballots of both parties?
