USPS chief Louis DeJoy says there’s 'no intention' to bring back removed mail-sorting machines. Democrats have been skeptical of claims regarding the USPS and President Trump's position on mail-in voting.
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy said that there are no plans to reinstall mail-sorting machines that have recently been removed from service.
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, under fire for his changes to the U.S. Postal Service ahead of the 2020 election, said Friday that there are no plans to reinstall mail-sorting machines that have recently been removed from service. Since DeJoy started his role in mid-June, the USPS has been plagued by reports of widespread mail delays, which mail workers' advocates have attributed directly to the cost-cutting changes put in place by the former supply-chain CEO.
DeJoy, a major donor to Republicans and committees supporting Trump's reelection, admitted in the hearing that "certainly there was a slowdown in the mail when our production did not meet the schedule." But he maintained that USPS will be able to handle an influx in election mail in the fall. In the hearing, DeJoy reiterated that many of the changes under the most intense scrutiny at USPS predated his tenure. He said that he has implemented just two major changes since taking over: working within the agency to find ways to improve operations, and cutting back on late deliveries.
