  1. DeJoy has been linked to private mail carriers, such as UPS & Fed-ex, so he has done nothing to help our public mail service, which is critical for our whole country. From court summons to voters ballots sure delivery is essential. We can't have forcible law without it. Private carriers are not liable if their mail deliveries are on time or not. Our Postal System was having three day mail before DeJoy's tenure. His administration has greatly weakened the quality of service, in favor of private corporations taking over. In DeJoy's favor though it must be noted that the United States Postal System is required to deliver the same service to all areas and places at the same cost. Many of the routes are not profitable, due to being remote, harsh weather or just the minor volume being delivered to a remote area. At this time the private carrier companies are getting rich at our USPS's expense. If a route isn't profitable, they pay the same fee as the public does for the Postal Service to delivery their nonprofitable mail. They keep the monies from their extra marked up prices paid to them by customers and make the USPS deliver those mails at the none profitable fees the USPS is forced to deliver for. Our public Post is paying and bailing out every private company for every mail they can't deliver at a profit.

  2. This guy needs to go. Why is ge still in that important job.
    Is he planning something with trump to steal ballots? He slowed the postal service down in 2020.
    He was hired by trump. That says it all.

  3. It just dawmed on me that Louis DeJoy's Fumbling P.O. is a HUGE player in MAGA's Attack on our 2024 Elections.

    Is there any way to confirm that our ballots were received AND that the record shows who each person voted for; dem or rep?

    Asking because we would be really stupid to imagine that MAGA won't do everything they can, including cheat ing to get back into power – For sure, RepubliCons will be throwing away ballots and changing people's votes … And probably doing even nastier things than that.

  4. So a few days delay from postal service equals a ballot not getting to voter by election? Well, when was it requested from THE STATE? When did THE STATE, put it in the mail? Seems like the wrong agency is being asked this question. It once again, is demagoguery by Democrats, expecting special treatment and services from the postal service, because they want mail in ballots in every residence whether or not there was a request by the voter or not. They want an excuse to let ballots be counted, which arive AFTER, the election. And they want the postal service to give them a reason to make cheating easier. And want them to take the blame for the INCOMPETENT STATE, officials who don't have a cutoff date that WORKS, in the real word, as to when the latest requests for mail in ballots can be processed.

  6. He is not capable of providing stats….he is not qualified to be the postmaster…….and yet we need to move him out….he is trying to bankrupt the postal service along with undermining the election outcomes. Like the last election

  7. De Joy is destroying the postal system to help Trump somehow in the upcoming 2024 election as he did in 2020! He is completely corrupt and has caused the postal service to fail it's taxpaying customers countless times! Why has he not been removed?
