USPS warns at least two states that mail-in ballots may not be delivered on time
The U.S. Postal Service has warned at least two states — Washington and the battleground state of Pennsylvania — that some mail-in ballots are at risk of not being delivered on time to be counted in the November general election because the states’ deadlines are too tight for its “delivery standards.”
In Washington’s case, Marshall expressed concern over voters who may register to vote or update their registration information very close to Nov. 3. In Pennsylvania, Marshall said voters are allowed to request a ballot as late as one week before Election Day, but, he said, there’s a “significant risk that the voter will not have sufficient time to complete and mail the completed ballot back.”
Wyman, Washington’s secretary of state, had earlier expressed her own worries about the effect postal delivery delays could have on the election. “I think it really shatters people’s confidence in the process,” Wyman said. “We need to make sure we’re inspiring confidence in the public that this is a fair election. And the way you do that is balancing access and security.”
