Election Officials Warn of USPS Delivery Issues
News summary

State and local election officials across the U.S. have raised alarms about the U.S. Postal Service's (USPS) failure to resolve ongoing mail delivery issues that threaten to disenfranchise voters in the upcoming presidential election. In a letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, officials reported that many mail-in ballots, although postmarked on time, are arriving days late, and some properly addressed mail is being returned as undeliverable. Despite repeated outreach to USPS, officials noted a lack of improvement, stating these problems could severely impact voter participation and trust in the electoral process. The officials urged immediate corrective action, emphasizing that a significant number of ballots are arriving considerably after the deadline, with some being marked undeliverable at abnormal rates. The letter highlights the concerns of election administrators in nearly every state and calls for USPS to be a reliable partner in the electoral process. As millions are expected to vote by mail, the officials warned that failure to address these issues could lead to confusion and chaos on Election Day.
