USPS at the Center of Mail-in Voting Dilemma for Elections
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
About six weeks before the first mail-in ballots for the midterm elections are sent out, the United States Postal Service is emerging as a key player in an election season that will determine control of Congress. President Donald Trump is seeking greater control over mail-in voting through an executive order, while a change in how the agency processes shipments is drawing criticism for not delivering ballots on time. Democratic officials have expressed concerns over the past week about how quickly the Postal Service will process ballots, after tens of thousands in California and hundreds in Wisconsin arrived too late at local election offices to be counted in this year's elections. Election officials in Kansas and Michigan are urging voters who want to cast their ballots early to avoid the mail and instead deliver them in person. The Postal Service responded to these concerns by stating on Tuesday that it remains 'committed to fulfilling our role in the electoral process.'
