California and nearly two dozen other states warned the U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday that allowing the U.S. Postal Service to move forward with President Trump’s new rules for mail ballots in the November election would cause “chaos” and could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters.

“In some States ... compliance with USPS’ rule would be impossible ahead of the midterms, meaning that millions of voters would be unable to vote by mail and some would not be able to vote at all,” the states argued. “In the remaining States, there would be chaos — and a significant risk that millions more voters would be denied the ability to vote.”

The Democrat-led coalition — which includes California, 23 other states and the District of Columbia — also cited objections from lower-ranking state and elections officials in conservative states that have not objected to the Postal Service’s position, including the lieutenant governor and other officials in Utah saying implementation of the new rules would “be an unmitigated disaster.”

If it turns out there isn’t chaos, they will do their best to make it happen.

The lower court judge, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, has been slow walking this case through the issuance of injunctions, in order to create the chaos that the Democrats are now complaining about.

“disenfranchise millions of eligible voters.” No Democrat cares about voters.

The chaos is a red herring and could be one they manufacture.

Yeah, I doubt even Florida could pull off compliance with the new USPS/PDJT rules in the 11 business days they have left before Florida’s ballots must be in the mail...the design/printing of millions of new ballot envelopes probably one of the biggest hurdles.

The leftist/Dimocrat judge’s stay(s) effectively killed the changes for the November election.

Good ole Georgia Secretary of State Ratburger has joined the opposition to the mail ballot rules. I’ll be glad when that turncoat is out of the SOS position.

Where were these miscreants when my husband’s and MIL’s votes were STOLEN.

They didn’t seem to be especially concerned about disenfranchised voters when their candidate won.

Chaos for Democrats, who have to desperately look for other fraudulent votes.
