I mean, that's my default assumption: that this is a strategy to suppress votes.

But I want to pull back and try not to assume ill intent, because I've seen how it just squashes conversation and dialogue. I want to learn what else is going on, if there is something else there.

edit: removed "don't"

Maybe I'm saying I try to not 100% assume ill intent, and that while I feel skeptical and suspicious of motives, I try to maintain an openness so that conversation doesn't devolve into two people thinking the other doesn't care about them. I'm tired of seeing so much of that in society.

I'm happy to continue this conversation over email, but there is no value in us having the conversation here due to how charged the subject is.

Yeah, I see a lot of comments going gray (grey?).

Sounds good to me—how shall we exchange that?

Confirmed this is the case by NPR.

> While President Trump has long railed against mail-in voting, falsely claiming it leads to rampant fraud, he appeared to confirm Thursday morning that he opposes Democrats' proposed boost in funding for the U.S. Postal Service because he wants to make it harder to expand voting by mail.

Many jurisdictions require postal ballots to be received by election day. Delaying mail delivery absolutely will disenfranchise many voters.
