Election officials from the National Association of Secretaries of State and the National Association of State Election Directors have issued a stark warning regarding the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), expressing concerns that ongoing mail delivery issues could disenfranchise voters in the upcoming November 5 election. In an open letter to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, they highlighted persistent problems such as valid ballots being returned undeliverable and delays in mail delivery beyond the expected timeframes. The officials emphasized that these issues could erode trust in the electoral process and limit voter participation, particularly as mail-in voting has become increasingly popular since the pandemic. Despite previous complaints, they noted a lack of improvement from USPS, which has come under scrutiny for not adhering to its own procedures regarding election mail. A USPS spokesperson, while claiming current mail delivery is within an acceptable timeframe, acknowledged that voters should mail their ballots well ahead of deadlines. With mail-in voting already commencing in some states, the urgency for corrective action from USPS is paramount.
