Postal Service in Election Crosshairs | Durham News
Description
The U.S. Postal Service is suddenly at the center of the election battle, as President Trump pushes for tighter control over mail-in voting — sparking fears ballots won’t arrive on time. Despite the Postal Service’s assurances of electoral integrity, proposed rules could restrict mail ballots to a national voter list, already triggering lawsuits and a Supreme Court case. Critics, including the American Postal Workers Union, warn these moves could disenfranchise voters and undermine vote-by-mail. With states like California and Wisconsin reporting thousands of late ballots, officials are urging voters to avoid the mail — yet the Postal Service still recommends mailing ballots a week early.
