DEJOY CRIES BS OVER USPS DISTRESS — The head of the United States Postal Service today denied claims he was sabotaging election mail on behalf of Trump, as large delivery delays spark fears of a voting crisis associated with an increase in mail-in ballots, Max Cohen writes.
Members of Congress from both parties fiercely criticized Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, a former business executive and major Trump donor, after he instituted changes that critics say have slowed down service during a crucial period. On Thursday, lawmakers urged DeJoy to switch course on policies that limited overtime pay for Postal Service workers and mandated that if distribution centers were backlogged, mail must be kept there until the following day.
Voting rights advocates raised alarms about the changes, formalized in a July directive, which they view as an attempt to carry out the president’s longtime wish to reimagine the Postal Service. DeJoy pushed back against these claims during an open meeting of the Postal Service’s Board of Governors this morning.
“While I certainly have a good relationship with the president of the United States, the notion that I would ever make decisions regarding the Postal Service at the direction of the president or anyone else in the administration is wholly off base,” DeJoy said.
Nightly asked you: What concerns you the most about the November election? Below are some of your lightly edited responses.
Poor turnout because of the pandemic. 2. Foreign and/or domestic interference. 3. Social media trolling. 4. Electoral college members going rogue.” — Roger Larrea, nurse, Colton, Calif.
“I worry about a combination of an ‘October surprise’ too late to be debunked, and voter suppression and overwhelmed election boards — altogether resulting in a skewed vote count.” — Sally Gordon, retired, Rio Rancho, N.M.
“My biggest concern countrywide is that people will be disenfranchised. I am not personally concerned here in Nevada, but I will wait to see how safe it is for me to vote in person. This is such a crucial year for us all.” — Joanne Quarz, retired, Las Vegas
