Concerns are mounting among election officials regarding the U.S. Postal Service's (USPS) capability to deliver mail-in ballots for the upcoming 2024 presidential election. A letter from the National Association of State Election Directors highlighted issues including delayed mail and inadequate training, with some local officials reporting problems in recent primaries where ballots were not delivered on time. In Kansas, nearly 1,000 mail-in ballots from the August primary were uncounted due to late arrivals and missing postmarks, prompting Secretary of State Scott Schwab to accuse USPS of failing voters. Local election supervisors, such as in Palm Beach County, are actively communicating with USPS to ensure these issues are addressed and have advised voters to mail ballots well ahead of deadlines. Despite USPS's commitment to improving delivery, officials remain skeptical about the reliability of mail-in voting, urging voters to consider alternative methods like drop boxes. With voting by mail set to begin in mid-September, the ongoing challenges raise concerns about potential voter disenfranchisement in the upcoming election.
