This was a powerful indictment of Donald Trump and his ultra-corrupt party.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Yvette Simpson?
YVETTE SIMPSON, DEMOCRACY FOR AMERICA CEO: You know, I think all of the comments, I’m still thinking about the president's chief of staff, all deflection, all distraction. The reality is, is that the efforts that the postmaster general are taking right now have to do with sabotaging and stealing the election.
Help me understand how shutting down sorting machines, cutting overtime, taking, you know, actual -- taking mailboxes off the streets, are going to help make this election more fair?
Donald Trump gave his directive. He does not want universal mail-in voting because he believes it will compromise his ability to win, and he has appointed someone who not only wants to undermine the Post Office but wants to help him fulfill that objective.
He's been very direct. It has not been complicated, covert. It has been very clear. And he should be stopped.
I hope that Nancy Pelosi gets -- gets the House together, I hope that the Senate goes back and can get a couple of reasonable Republicans who understand that undermining -- he should be stopped.
And I hope that Nancy Pelosi gets House -- gets the House together. I hope that the Senate goes back and get -- can get a couple reasonable Republicans who understand that undermining the Postal Service does a lot of damage to a lot of Americans and will compromise this election and will call into question Republicans' commitment to our democracy.
STEPHANOPOULOS: We did see that during the primaries, including in places like Georgia, which were run by -- where the elections were run by Democrats at the county level.
SIMPSON: Which is ridiculous. When you think about the fact that we are a democracy, it is the most fundamental right that we have as Americans, the fact that Republicans are trying to infringe on that, to limit that, to make it more difficult to people to do that. And let's be clear, we know the motivation. Donald Trump said it. He wants to stop universal mail-in voting, so limiting sorting machines, taking mail boxes off the streets, limiting overtime, making sure that we can't use the bulk rate -- states can't use the bulk rate for sending out ballots are all attempts to sabotage and to steal this election.
And no, we should not have people standing in line risking their life for democracy when we can avoid it. We can. We can fund the Post Office and we can make sure that we have someone in there who is not trying to dismantle it, but is trying to improve it.
