AG Tong Statement on Trump Efforts to Undermine Postal Service and Block Voting
(Hartford, CT) – Attorney General William Tong issued the following statement regarding President Donald Trump’s stunning admission this week that his ongoing efforts to gut the U.S. Postal Service are directly aimed at hindering voting in the November election:“Donald Trump finally admitted what we all knew to be true—he is gutting the U.S. Postal Service in order to block Americans from voting during a raging pandemic. He knows his polling. He knows his best chance of winning at this point is if people can’t vote. But we’re not going to let him hijack this election. I am actively engaged in discussions with attorneys general across the nation to mount a vigorous legal defense of our postal service and the legitimacy of our election,” said Attorney General Tong. “If you have experienced a mail slow down or problems with mail delivery as a result of Donald Trump’s sabotage of the postal service, please report that immediately to my office. We need evidence and examples as we build the strongest possible case.”
