House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she spoke with Postmaster General Louis DeJoy on Wednesday and told him 'his announcement is not a solution and is misleading.'
has no plans to reverse changes to infrastructure that lawmakers feared could disrupt mail-in voting in November, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.
"The Postmaster General frankly admitted that he had no intention of replacing the sorting machines, blue mailboxes and other key mail infrastructure that have been removed and that plans for adequate overtime, which is critical for the timely delivery of mail, are not in the works," she said. The statement said mail processing equipment and blue collection boxes would remain where they are."We reassert that overtime has, and will continue to be approved as needed," the statement said, but it did not elaborate on the policy.
Democrats have cited shifts in service such as a move to stop treating all election mail as first-class, cuts to overtime pay for postal workers, and a ban on"late" or"extra" delivery trips.
