Letter: The definition of ‘hypocrisy’

(Joshua A. Bickel | The Columbus Dispatch via AP) A man mails a letter on Saturday in Whitehall, Ohio. Postal workers and supporters across central Ohio gathered at Post Offices across the region to protest actions by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy including the removal of sorting machines which has led to mail delivery delays in some states. Critics of these policies fear they will create delays with absentee and mail-in ballots during the upcoming general election.

In www.dictionary.com, “hypocrisy” is defined as: “a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he does not actually possess, especially a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.”

I offer an example: One who votes by mail, then stops me from doing as he did, because it will lead to fraud.
