Lawmakers Warn About Problems with US Mail System as Mail-In Balloting Begins | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

In states across the country, mail-in balloting for the November elections has begun. But some election officials are warning that problems with the US mail system could disrupt voting, and even disenfranchise voters and some lawmakers are expressing concerns. The US Postal Service could play a role in this presidential election, but not the kind it wants. Millions of voters are expected to cast their ballots by mail in the coming weeks. But officials from several states recently sent a letter to the postmaster general, warning that the problems haven't been fixed. The letter reads in part, "We implore you to take immediate and tangible corrective action to address the ongoing performance issues with USPS election mail service... Failure to do so will risk limiting voter participation and trust in the election process." In recent primary voting, they noted cases of thousands of properly postmarked ballots did not arrive in time to be counted. In some cases, properly addressed election mail was returned, potentially sending voters to inactive status.
