1. In the 2016 election, there were 57.2 MILLION votes cast by mail.
Trump raised no objections.

4. After DeJoy was installed, Trump intensified his attacks on mail in voting, claiming all mail-in ballots would be "substantially fraudulent."
He also claimed without evidence that mailboxes would be robbed. https://popular.info/p/a-comprehensive-guide-to-the-sabotage

5. DeJoy then began to sabotage USPS operations:
1. Eliminated overtime
2. Instructed postal workers to leave mail on the floor
3. Destroying sorting machines
4. Removing mailboxes https://popular.info/p/a-comprehensive-guide-to-the-sabotage

6. DeJoy also reversed a longstanding USPS policy to treat all election mail as first class, regardless of how it is sent. This will nearly triple the cost of conducting mail in voting for many states, even as the pandemic creates massive budget gaps https://popular.info/p/a-comprehensive-guide-to-the-sabotage
