The U.S. Postal Service warned states coast to coast that it cannot guarantee all ballots cast by mail for November’s election will arrive in time.
The National Association of Letter Carriers, which represents 300,000 current and retired workers, said Thursday it endorsed Democrat Joe Biden for president, a move that comes as President Trump has acknowledged starving the postal service of money in order to make it more difficult to vote by mail in November’s election.
On Friday, 31 Democratic senators took aim at new Postmaster General DeJoy, a GOP fundraiser who took the job in June and has since imposed several operational changes that have led to mail backlogs across the nation.
The senators said they’ve heard from hundreds of veterans, as well as Department of Veterans Affairs staff, who cited weekslong mail delays, “causing veterans to miss doses of vital medications.”
