Postmaster General Addresses Concerns Over Mail-In Voting for Upcoming Election
As the November elections approach, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has reaffirmed the United States Postal Service's (USPS) commitment to timely delivery of mail-in ballots, amid growing concerns about the efficiency of mail services in key swing states. He rejected claims made by former President Donald Trump regarding the USPS's ability to handle the anticipated influx of mail-in ballots, stating that ballots should be mailed at least a week before Election Day to ensure they arrive on time. Despite the USPS's assurances that they are prepared for the upcoming challenges, investigations have highlighted potential delays that could undermine voter confidence in mail-in voting. Election officials and workers have expressed growing alarm about ongoing issues within the Postal Service which could affect the electoral process. The situation underscores significant challenges ahead of the elections, as stakeholders call for increased vigilance to secure the integrity and timeliness of the voting process.
