12. Legal Cover For Intentional Non-delivery Of Ballots

Many states have vote by mail. What happens if Trump calls on all MAGA postal workers to stall delivery or destroy mailed ballots? They can now do this with impunity thanks to this Supreme Court ruling. All voters who once had faith that the US Postal Service would deliver their ballot should now deposit it into an official ballot drop box to be sure it gets to the Registrar's office. This regime is desperate and will do everything it can to gain an edge in the midterm elections. Don't think this postal dirty trick will be a random thing. They will flood the zone with many dirty tricks while they suppress the vote with gerrymandering and voter ID schemes.
