Two things can be true at the same time:
1. The latest moves at @USPS are worrisome during a pandemic that will depend heavily on absentee voting.
2. USPS is right to warn states that some of their deadlines for voters' requesting and returning absentee ballots are unrealistic.

Of all the ridiculous schemes that have been floated by the President or AG Barr for how mail-in ballot fraud could affect the election, the possibility of a foreign entity swaying election by mailing fraudulent absentee ballots is the most ludicrous. It defies common sense. /1
To begin with, mail-in ballots are very hard to duplicate on the fly. Each jurisdiction has their own ballot format, form of paper, and races differ for voters by their respective districts. Ballot envelopes also often contain coding that helps election officials track them. /2
Ballot forms must contain certain information that must be verified, like a signature, identification information, and sometimes witness requirements. These would all have to be faked, and done in a way to escape attention. /3

/1
The Supreme Court’s conservative majority has taken the Court’s election jurisprudence on a pro-partisanship turn, which gives political actors freer range to pass laws and enact policies that can help entrench politicians (particularly Republicans) in power... /2

So I think the Supreme Court performed pretty well during the pandemic, scheduling remote oral arguments with live audio and getting the most important cases out only a week late. But there's one big exception: #SCOTUS has been terrible on voting rights during the pandemic. /1
Beginning with a case out of Wisconsin, #SCOTUS has divided 5-4 over lower court orders meant to make it easier for voters to vote and participate in the political process safely during the pandemic. /2
#SCOTUS not only has NOT put a thumb on the scale favoring voters--as it should--during a pandemic; it has allowed voters to be disenfranchised (Wisconsin) or risk their health (Texas) in order to be able to vote. /3
