A protester holding a sign waits to march to the residence of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy - a major Republican donor who President Trump recently nominated to run the United States Postal Service (USPS) despite concerns about conflicts of interest and lack of experience - to demonstrate against Dejoy's changes to the USPS, which many say are acts of sabotage to increase Trump's chances in a mostly vote-by-mail election in Washington, D.C., on August 15, 2020, amid the coronavirus pandemic. DeJoy reportedly has invested tens of millions of dollars in direct USPS competitors, and recently he has enacted many changes at the USPS that postal worker unions and election experts say will make the election difficult or impossible to carry out effectively.
