I have great respect and love for the mail service, and the early decision among our forefathers that all people have a right to be included in the national conversation and communication. I would like the internet be made available to all as well (as a service, not a for-profit business), but that is a different story.

Scorched earth is his goal now. And you're right, of course. Cutting off the mail service at the knees is directly related to mail-in ballots.
