The Postal Service is removing hundreds of mail-processing machines across the country and has warned 46 states that it may not be able to process all mail-in ballots in time to be counted for the election, thereby disqualifying peoples' votes.
The House Oversight Committee will have an emergency hearing on Aug. 24 to address mail delivery delays and fears that the Trump administration is interfering with the U.S. Postal Service in order to impact voting in the November presidential election.
The Postal Service is removing hundreds of mail-processing machines across the country and has warned 46 states that it may not be able to process all mail-in ballots in time to be counted for the election, likely disqualifying votes. House Democrats on Sunday called on Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and Postal Service board of governors Chairman Robert M. Duncan to testify at the upcoming hearing. Several House Democrats previously called for the subpoenaing of DeJoy, an ally of President Trump who they allege is purposely creating problems with the Postal Service to undermine the election.
