Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) asked PMG Louis DeJoy, “Will you be bringing back any mail sorting machines that have been removed?” To which PMG Louis DeJoy answered, “There is no intention to do that, they are not needed.” This occurred during a Senate Homeland Security & Government Affairs Committee. I am not sure if Senator Peters pursued this further; but, I believe this needs a “Why” question and maybe 4 more until he has satisfied he has an answer to a potential problem such as a lack of capacity. PMG Louis DeJoy does not look like the type who would wander around a Postal Sorting facility such as located in Pontiac, Michigan from which 12 of these machines were removed. Pontiac, MI is a major sorting facility which might cause issues with ballots being delivered timely. There is more to DeJoy’s answer than we do not need them anymore.
And the old machines, what happened to them?
Trashed!
I do not believe MI Senator Gary Peters considered these machines could not be brought back as PMG DeJoy trashed them already. He failed to ask the questions to find out if we are in danger. We now know that if DeJoy is wrong or purposely doing this to, the nation is in trouble. However, there is still time to ask the questions and consider an alternative. Our Senators just need to do it. A few could have been left in place as much more experienced postal management would have considered.
